How Much Did My Friend and I Save On Hotels in South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong?
Now, you already know I saved tens of thousands of dollars on my business- and first-class flights from the US to Korea and Japan and from Japan to Hong Kong back to America.

Where Do I Want To Go In 2014?
This is my new favorite question. Before having a job, and obviously, before understanding miles and points, a good year would be a trip to California to see family, a weekend in New York City for the same and maybe accompanying my dad on a business trip (What’s up Tucson, AZ!).
