Hey There, I´m Michael

“Would you like a cold wet towel?”

This is what I was asked while checking into my hotel. It was a hotel technically, but it wasn’t like any hotel I’d ever been to before – this was paradise.

I was afraid they found out how much I paid to stay here and were already putting me to work to launder the pool towels.

Then I looked down and saw the tray of petite rolled washcloths stacked neatly, they looked clean. I picked one up and it felt chilled and especially refreshing after the not-so-chill shuttle to the resort from the Cancun International Airport.

I picked it up, and wiped my hands – is this what I’m supposed to do? – I put it to my face peeking at my then-girlfriend-now-wife and copying her, knowing very well that she doesn’t know what she’s doing either.

We telepathically made a face agreeing that “we don’t belong here, this towel smells better than our bath and body works hand soap at home.”

This was the experience that led me here to your screen today. We were in our younger-mid 20s and we stayed at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun with a $600/night price tag for $0.

We were in awe the entire time and fell in love with the feeling of “not belonging here.”

Since then I’ve been on a mission to cross off more of our bucket-list destinations (at least once) and to help others do the same. This was made possible by learning how to use credit card rewards strategically.

These rewards let you take flights all the way across an ocean for just the prices of taxes as low as $5.60, and let you stay at $500 – even $1000 – per night hotels for ZERO $$$.

You get to explore this beautiful planet we’re truly blessed to be part of without waiting until it’s too late, and even more importantly for some, you can use them to visit distant family without the stress of the price tag that comes up.
