| 30. Accessible Family Travel on Points with Wonders Within Reach | 17 Jun 2024 | 01:08:20 | |
In perhaps our most important and most meaningful episode yet, this week we sat down to chat with Jennifer Allen from @Wonders_Within_Reach about what accessible travel and inclusion looks like for those with disabilities. As a Spina Bifida mom, Jennifer is no stranger to a travel world that is often not created with accessibility in mind. She has dedicated her life to finding accessible options for all, and sharing her experiences with others. We talk about their journey using credit card points and miles to help navigate the world of adoption, as well as many tips and tricks to make travel easier for those with both visible and invisible disabilities. Jennifer shares some of her family’s experiences with international travel where the kindness of strangers has been paramount to the success of the trips. We hope to bring awareness to the challenges travelers with disabilities face, share a perspective that not everyone considers, and empower individuals with differing abilities (and their families) to get out and see the world. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it!

| 29. AMEX Gold Deep Dive | 10 Jun 2024 | 01:04:06 | |
Finally the LONG awaited deep dive into the American Express Gold card.
