That Luxe Travel Girl
Wander, Explore, & Indulge
Welcome!
I'm so glad you are here!
I'm Kim, and I love traveling the world and finding ways to wander, explore, and indulge using points and miles. As a Florida girl with a limited budget but an insatiable longing to travel, I've embarked on a journey to uncover the secrets of earning and maximizing points and miles and transforming them into unforgettable travel experiences.
More than just travel hacks...
This blog is not just about scoring points. It's also my personal diary of adventures, filled with travel tips, mishaps, and some of my favorite places. From sipping cocktails at my favorite speakeasies to getting lost (and found) in faraway places, I'll share all the stories.
A place to celebrate your wanderlust...
Need a nudge to step out of your comfort zone? I'm here to bring you a dose of travel inspiration. So, grab a virtual (or real) Aperol Spritz, get comfy, and let's chat about turning your dreams into boarding passes!
I'm just getting started, so if you would like to come along, please follow me at Instagram.com/ThatLuxeTravelGirl or on Facebook at Facebook.com/thatluxetravelgirl.
Can't wait to share our adventures!
Never Miss an Opportunity for Points!
Pre-Covid work travel was amazing! So many points accumulating for vacation travel...but then came the pandemic and everything changed. Zoom became our new office and accumulating points became a whole new challenge. My recent quest had been to find fresh avenues to earn points and miles. Every time you spend money, you can be earning points and/or miles toward your next trip! With a variety of credit cards to choose from, you can turn your groceries, dinners out, and even your rent into your next adventure. There are credit card bonuses available that can speed you on your way to booking your next trip. For example, a Chase sign-up bonus plus earned points led to a free week at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun! I'll be sharing details about all sorts of tricks and strategies in future posts.
How to Travel if You Have Fur Babies
Do you love to travel but have furry friends that you worry about leaving home alone? My husband and I have two adorable kitties, Dante and Dolce, and they insist on having full time care while we are away. We were so excited when we discovered Trusted Housesitters! For the cost of one week of someone dropping in to feed the cats, we were able to sign up for a whole year of Trusted Housesitters! We just list the dates we will be gone and the information about our home and kitties, and then we receive applications from vetted sitters who want to come and stay with them. They get a free place to stay and we get free pet sitters! Naturally, you Zoom with potential sitters for an interview and check their reviews, and once you are comfortable you pick one. We have had amazing sitters from the USA as well as from Canada, Spain, England, and Germany. Our kitties now speak more languages than we do! They get spoiled and we don't have to worry about them while we are away.
