About this audiobook
Most families assume international travel is a once-in-a-lifetime splurge. This book proves otherwise. Written specifically for parents juggling school calendars, picky eaters, car seats, and tight budgets, it reveals the system experienced travel hackers use to turn ordinary household spending into extraordinary family adventures. Across twelve practical chapters, you'll learn how to harvest points and miles, play the two-player credit card game, crack the family-of-four hotel problem, hack theme parks, eat well abroad, and avoid costly mistakes. Includes real case studies showing how families fly to Tokyo, Europe, and beach destinations for a fraction of retail price.
