Did you travel for the holidays? As you may know, traveling and the logistics around it can take a lot of preparation and energy, not to mention funds. Rae and K are not the most efficient travelers, so they’ve invited Janelle on a Jet, travel expert and content creator, on the podcast to share tips for saving coin, traveling smarter, and seeing the world. We’ve been cooped up for a while now, and we hope this episode inspires you to start dreaming up your next trip and gives you the tools to confidently make it happen.
Janelle Rupkalvis is a travel expert and content creator who began expanding her world after a life changing trip to Iceland in 2018. She dove head first into the world of travel, learning about how to find the best deals, earn points and miles, and plan adventure packed trips - both solo and with friends and family. She has now been to 19 countries and continues to share her travel tips and adventures through social media.
“There are different avenues to make travel more accessible for everyone. And once I started getting into it, it opened my eyes and I realized I can go to more than 1 place in 5 years; I can go to 5 places in 1 year!” - Janelle
