How I Spend $1,500 A Year To Manage A Chronic Disease As A Global Nomad
One of my main concerns about retiring early in the US was about how I would handle healthcare.

How I Saved $44,667 With Travel Hacking In 2022
Shockingly, that title is not a click bait-and-switch, but it is inflated by fancy international flights 🙂 . These palaces in the sky are one of the parts of travel that my Mom loves most and I’m so happy that after shelling out $7,000 for a 1/3 off Emirates First Class ticket in 2012, I discovered the wonder of travel hacking, which has allowed us to fly in these wild cabins for almost free.
