Travel Hacking: How I Unlocked Affordable Adventures Around the World
I never thought travel hacking was for me — until one credit card and a tank of gas got me to Italy. Here’s how I started seeing the world for less.

Build the Perfect Travel Credit Card Setup
- Start with a no-fee card for everyday points.
- Layer in a premium card with lounge perks.
- Add a flexible points card for bonus categories.
- Pair with an airline or hotel card (based on your goals).
- Redeem for dream trips—not just discounts.

Slow mornings, misty trails, and time in places that restore you.
Peaks and Packs is for those who seek quiet, fresh air, and adventures that feel like home.

Hiking Gear I Trust
Reliable, trail-tested gear that earns its spot in my pack.
Where I find stillness. And what brings me back to myself.
Not a map pin, just moments that grounded me.
Forest air, rocky trails, a quiet place to breathe. That’s where I feel most at home.
