Travis Sherry got a late start in life to traveling the world internationally. He was 25 when he finally got bit by the travel bug on a study abroad internship trip, living in Lozan, Switzerland. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to make for himself a life of travel.
“Everyday I would go swimming in Lake Geneva," says Travis, "and I'd look up at the Alps and think, ‘I’m not going to get this by just staying home all my life.’"
Today, Travis bills himself as a regular guy who loves to travel, but zip on over to Extra Pack of Peanuts. and you’ll see he has just a little expertise in traveling the world for free, and helping his audience do the same. There you can pick up his Ultimate Guide to Points and Miles. He also runs a travel podcast by the same name, and if you like this show, you’d probably like his too. I’m excited to have him on to discuss his lifestyle and how to earn and redeem points and miles to see the world for as close to free as possible.
Personal note: When I looked out there to see who was travel podcasting, Travis’ was the only one I found. Since then, other great shows have cropped up, but I loved what Travis was putting out there and it helped inspire me to create The Daily Travel Podcast. So, if you like this show, check out Travis’ podcast!
