This episode features guest Jason Yee, an expert Travel Hacker, Digital Nomad, Five Star Chef and a Chocolate Maker. Jason shares some great travel hacks and tips to help people in making their travel experiences much smoother and easier.

Episode Highlights:

In his journey as digital nomad, Jason has realized that it’s not really the place he travels to but the experience which matters. Jason discloses that as a nomad was about discovering self and figuring out who he was outside of his relationship that had defined him for over a decade.

Jason suggests http://www.onebag.com (The Art & Science of Traveling Light) for travel related packing. He mentions that the bundle method minimizes wrinkles and lays everything flat.

3 Key Points:
1. As long as you have passion for something, you'll be able to keep going and keep doing it.
2. You should never go into credit card debt just to get points or otherwise; Jason advises to create a spreadsheet and track everything if you are into any Manufacturing Spend related schemes as it can lead you to trouble and thereby a massive credit card debt.
3. Jason gives his recommendations on various credit cards, hotels, airlines, etc. He also advises negotiating with the credit card company for waving off the annual fee.

Quotes:
“If you know anything about most of Europe, the alcohol taxes are insanely high to the point of like, often being a full 100% markup on things.”
“And then you start questioning: how can I generate points without actually spending money?”
“I think everybody has their own hoarder, weakness, and my hoarding became miles.”
“So, if you’ve got a 300 or 400 or 500 dollar annual fee, it’s worth your time to call them up especially as it gets towards renewal….”
“So, there is the question of, are we going to have vaccine passports?”
“One of the problems is all the airlines realize that the distance flown is not a good indicator of how much people are spending and really that’s all they want.”
– Jason

“That’s the best part of traveling that I miss so much as just as spontaneous and for you to just meet somebody in, all these magical things are kind of unfolding before you” – Alise
