Megan has loved travel for as long as she can remember. As the first in her family born in the US, she was constantly flying to Asia to visit family as a baby, so travel just felt normal growing up. She traveled a lot as a kid, but mostly as a passenger along for the ride. That all changed when she studied abroad in Spain in college. She got the planning bug and never looked back.
She got into points and miles while planning her wedding. She'd heard it was a great time to earn rewards but had no idea what she was doing. She somehow stumbled across Daily Drop and credits the newsletter with everything she knows. Now she gets to channel that passion into building products for people just like her, with the goal of making points and travel genuinely accessible to everyone who wants to explore the world.
What is your favorite country or travel experience?
Iceland. We got to see glaciers for the first time, sweat it out in the most beautiful sauna I've ever been in, and snowmobile to an ice cave. But the cherry on top was the northern lights. We knew there were slim chances of seeing them while we were there, but we lucked out and saw them on our first night, and then again on our very last night, from our hot tub!
Do you have a favorite travel hack you've used?
My first points redemption is hard to beat. My husband and I did five nights in Maui and our total for our flights AND hotel with free breakfast was $300. I got the Southwest Companion Pass from a sign-up bonus, and my husband covered the hotel with the Marriott Bonvoy welcome offer, so the only thing we paid for was one flight. I was hooked on the points game after that!
