hi ~ so glad you’re here!
I’m Rosemary ~ Chief Inspiration Officer here at Beautiful Life Beautiful World / Beaut Life World.
I believe that travel can be many things: a way to get out of your comfort zone, to see and be awed by all that this incredible planet has to offer, to make and foster connections, to find, empower, discover, transform, grow.
Here I share my travels (many of them adventures as female solo traveler) and how to maximize your money. The number one question I get after: “where in the world are you now?” is “how do you pay for all your trips”?
I have heard some hilarious theories such as I am a trust fund or sugar baby to perhaps a young widower. Then there’s many that are adamant that I am an influencer and these are all sponsored trips but the reality is a bit more boring. Ok a lot more boring with the truth being that I pay for my own travels. I use a combination of cash, miles or points and show you exactly how I did it as I love being able to teach you how you can do the same!
This site embodies my wishes which are to show what travel hacking looks like in action so you can also do it so that you can SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD and perhaps to inspire you to EXPLORE…to SAVOR…to EXCITE…to HOPE…to DREAM…to LOVE…to BELIEVE…to DESIRE…to DARE…to LIVE FULLY and CREATE YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
I use miles and points to cover my travel expenses so I can have money for over the top experiences…like doing a flying dress photo shoot in Iceland 😉 Wanna see more of what this experience was like? Check out this post
- book activities via GetYourGuide(GYG) or Viator & day/spa/pool passes with ResortPass
- combine that with using a shopping portal to earn cashback or miles
- Stay connected/informed with T-Mobile or Airalo
- Read this for info on GYG and this for why I use Viator and this for more on ResortPass
- Details on using Rakuten for cashback and here’s for AA eShopping
- Here’s why I love T-Mobile & the deets on using Airalo
travel hacking in action
Some of the epic trips I have been able to take and travel splurges I have been able to make…
Are you thinking what in the world even is travel hacking?!
Trav·el hack·ing (noun): strategies and/or techniques adopted to allow one to travel for cheaper, better and/or more often.
It really is that simple.
I write about it because I am a little obsessed – not only in showcasing how I was able to take these trips but even more importantly, how it’s possible for you to do the same!
And if you wondering: where to start? Here’s a quick intro
Then dive a little deeper with My 8 Top Travel Hacking Tips (including how to level up even more!)
Need help finding your way around?
Some of the places/experiences that using points and miles allowed me to go/have: going to the Olympics in Paris, France; visiting Porto, Portugal; enjoying a lie-flat business seat on a transatlantic flight; hiking in Kauai, Hawai’i USA; taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, Türkiye; watching sunrises + breaching whales from a private plunge pool in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Feeling inspired but not sure where to start? I offer FREE mini consultations.
If you need or want to go beyond the blog posts, I also offer individual coaching as well as group video lessons.
