“You can have whatever kind of travel experience you want to have no matter what your budget is.”

Stephanie Zito’s travels have taken her to over 100 countries. She is a wanderer, humanitarian, storyteller, business founder, evangelist for good, and all around beauty-seeker whose love of travel and involvement in relief and development have taken her to far flung places where she’s found purpose in helping the people of the world – which if you listen to this podcast, then you probably know that’s where I believe all the best stories happen.

She’s lived in Cambodia, where she founded Cloud Color Hammocks, a beautifully colorful line of hammocks, volunteers to help children.

But now she’s also the creator of Upgrade Unlocked, a course on travel hacking to redeem for luxury travel experiences.

Upgrade UnlockedStephanie knows more than almost anyone I know about earning and redeeming points and miles, so I asked her to come back on and explore her new work and mindblowing personal travel experiences in redeeming for things like first class suites on Etihad Airways.

If you want to learn more and pick up her course to get started traveling for as close to free as possible, check out Upgrade Unlocked.
