You can never get enough wanderlust inspiration, so I’m bringing a new monthly travel feature to the blog called Fearless Wanderlust. It will include recent travel news, articles and inspiration to encourage you to put more adventure in your life! Check out this month’s version.
Best Credit Card for Travelers
Chris Guillebeau’s website is full of great information about unconventional people doing remarkable things. Chris is an author, creator of the World Domination Summit, and he has traveled to every country in the world. His website gives a lot of inspiration and tips for travelers. One of his articles talks in depth about the best credit card for travelers – the Chase Sapphire Preferred card – and being a user myself, I would recommend it too. It allows you to earn points quickly to redeem for travel expenses and there are no foreign transaction fees. If you have questions about it or want to get signed up, let me know and I can help get you bonus points when you sign up.
