They’ll be giving you the stank eye while sipping on Dom Perignon 😜😂 In all truthness, the Emirates #FirstClass experience for the Washington DC to the Maldives would set you back at least $32,267.20 for 2 people. Here is the wild part, it is worth every single cent. As for us, we booked our tickets last minute because I couldn’t decide where to go for our anniversary trip🤦🏿‍♂️. We used our Emirates skywards miles transferred from our credit card points. Comment “EMIRATES” for details on how we booked this at a savings of over $30,000 one-way! 🤯 Share with someone you’d like to fly like this with someday, and follow for luxury travel tips & inspo! #worldtraveladventurers #blacktravelfeed #luxurytravel #firstclassflight #emiratesfirstclass #propointstravelmasterclass #firstclasstravel #pointsandmiles #awardtravel @emirates #emiratesskywards

His face at the end 😂 Just kidding! The @emirates First Class bathrooms would be the prime spot to join the mile high club, but only one person is allowed at a time. Don’t ask why we know that. 😜 The staff gently enforces that rule. Thanks to our awesome flight crew for playing along during the first leg of our anniversary trip. #emiratesfirstclass #emiratesairline #firstclassflight #luxurytravel #milehighclub #worldtraveladventurers #mixedcouple #anniversarytrip

18 years ago today, we tied the knot on a hot and humid day in Indianapolis surrounded by friends and family who flew in from all over the world to support us. One of us was still a college student, the other one just finished graduate school. We were hopeful, naive, broke, eager to see what life had in store for us. We were babies! 😅 With 22 years in each other’s lives, we’ve welcomed new relatives, witnessed loved ones deal with health issues, watched them prevail and get better. We navigated through the intricacies of an interracial & multicultural marriage - there is a lot to unpack there. Anyone else in an intercultural relationship will understand. 🤣 We thrived at our careers and became business owners which allowed us to travel the way we do and to meet some of you. Above all, we became parents to two amazing and beautiful kids who keep us entertained and on our toes. They are our biggest blessings and the brightest lights in our lives. 🥰 Feeling so grateful for our time together, for this life we’ve built together, for the experiences to come, for our amazing friends & family, & for you having been with us on this journey. Cheers 🥂 to many more anniversaries! 🙏🏻🙏🏾 #luxurytraveller #mixedcouple #weddinganniversary #travelcouple #luxurytravel #luxuryfamilytravel

These airlines give their premium cabin customers incredible fine dining experience 35,000ft in the air. Our favorite airline meals so far have been on: ** #Emirates First Class - The Arabic Mezze dish is 🔥 so is the caviar and Dom Perignon. ** #JapanAirlines First Class - The 8-course meal with sake pairing and being able to dine face to face in the First Class made it all the more memorable! ** #QatarQsuites - Delicious food & superb service while our family of four dined face to face in the quad configuration 🤩. ** #SingaporeAirlines Business Class - Flavorful dishes, super attentive & kind flight attendants and very large seats and trays. ** #Etihad Business Class - cozy lighting, tasty Middle Easterner food, drinks and excellent service. Some of the best runner-ups: ** Turkish Airlines #BusinessClass - Excellent meals and the onboard private chef is a great touch 👍. ** Cathay Pacific Business Class - All day dining. The wok-fried chicken with shrimp meal had us 🤤. Let us know in the poll which ones you think take the crown for best inflight dining experience ! Some of those flights can cost as much as $20K, fortunately for us, we didn’t have to sell any of our kidneys to pay that by leveraging airlines partner alliances / travel reward 💳 points & miles or by asking nicely (it worked for some!) ** Japan Airlines (JAL) premium cabin seats can be booked by redeeming Alaska Airlines miles. You can also use Marriott BonVoy points if absolutely needed to top off your JAL miles, not the best ratio but an option regardless with those with tons of Marriott BonVoy points. ** Singapore Airlines can be easily redeemed using their own KrisFlyer miles or any of their star alliance partners miles. ** Emirates Airlines First Class can be only booked through their Skywards miles. Their surcharges fees are pretty high but it’s either that or dropping $15K/$20K… Ah ou, c’est la vie! ** Etihad Business Class can be booked using Air Canada Aeroplan miles. They can also be booked with their own mileage program. There are so many available ways to maximize your points and miles but you need to be aware of them. #worldtraveladventurers #luxurytravelblogger

When people ask us why we keep going back to Bora Bora, all we need to do is show them the pictures. Swipe to the end to see Bertaut’s clownery for the double rainbow. 🤣 In all seriousness, Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful destinations we’ve visited to date. The fact that it’s pretty easy to travel to with points & miles means we’ve been able to save tens of thousands of dollars on memorable family & couple vacations. 🤑 We’ve stayed at @conradboraboranui on several occasions for free using @hiltonhonors points and free night certificates from our Hilton credit cards. The standard redemption rate is currently 120K Hilton points/night, and if you have Hilton status you can get the 5th night free when booking on points. There are a plethora of ways to earn Hilton points: ** Earning welcome offers from Hilton credit cards 💳 ** Transferring points from Amex at a 1:2 ratio ** Pooling your Hilton points with other members of your choice ** Quick phone surveys can earn 1000 pts for a few minutes of your time ** Buy them when there’s a promo to get 100% more for free Currently there are offers to earn up to 150K Hilton points, so comment « Hilton » and we’ll send you more info! Our favorite Hilton rewards card earns us a free night every year which is best used at aspirational properties like this one where rooms can cost about $1,000 per night. It also gives us automatic Hilton Diamond status, which gets us free breakfast, welcome gifts, happy hours at select resorts, room upgrades, & more! It also comes with up to $400 annual Hilton credit & up to $200 annual flight credit, which more than covers the annual fee. Comment « Hilton » for my personal referral link for this card.

Had you told my younger self 23 years ago while immigrating from the life I knew in Cameroon 🇨🇲 that I would be meeting my wife to be only a few months later, and that we would set out to travel the world in luxury with our 2 amazing kids… I would have laughed and called delulu 😂. Much of this was made possible by ignoring naysayers and by becoming savvy at the points & miles game. We’ve saved well over $1,000,000 in the process, have been able to offer our parents, kids & close relatives the gift of traveling and experiences they never imagined. We’ve done all of this while achieving financial independence. Our lives have been changed for the best and we are beyond grateful for it and for the blessings to come. If you are new to the points traveling game and get overwhelmed with it, follow us as we unveil the processes and strategies we followed to achieve success for our family. To the experts out there, please feel free to share how points traveling has changed your lives ! • • • • • • • • • • • • • #WorldTravelAdventurers #propointsmasterclass #luxuryfamilytravel #mixedfamily #kidstraveltips #awardtravel #blacktravelers #pointstravel #pointsandmiles

Glacier National Park has so many amazing spots to stop and take in the beauty and sounds of nature. We pulled over on our way out of the park at this red rock area and sat listening to rushing water while the kids scrambled over the rocks. Have you been to Glacier National Park yet? If yes, what was your favorite place in the park? #glaciernationalpark #glaciernationalparkmontana #naturetravel #adventuretraveler #familyadventuretravel #familytravels #visitmontana #montanavacation #natureloversofinstagram

Reminiscing on our dreamy visit to the world’s first underwater villa- The Muraka at @conrad_maldives which lies 16 feet under the Indian Ocean.

Cherishing this time that our kids get to spend with their cousins playing outside in nature, catching crawfish, exploring creeks, and making so many memories! ❤️ While my brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephew visit us from Texas, we are getting out and appreciating all the beauty in our home state of Maryland! So grateful for these core memories we are making! What are some of your favorite childhood summer memories? #marylandblogger #visitmaryland #cousintime #familyvacations #familytimes #summervacations #adventuretraveler #timewithfamily #cousinlove #cousins❤️

Don’t visit Yellowstone without also visiting Grand Teton National Park! The parks are right next to each other, yet offer very different scenery and experiences. We actually found Grand Teton to be more beautiful than Yellowstone thanks to the gorgeous mountains in the backdrop. We couldn’t get over the views! The kids preferred Yellowstone since there’s a lot more to see and do there, like geysers and boiling mud pots. We saw several moose in Grand Teton which was exciting! We found Grand Teton to be far less crowded which made for a more pleasant visit. We didn’t get stuck in traffic for an hour while crowds looked at wildlife. Plus there was no wait to get into the park entrance, compared to Yellowstone where we waited at least 20 minutes to get through the West Entrance. Have you visited Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone? Which was your favorite and why? #grandtetonnationalpark #visitwyoming #nationalparksusa #adventuretravel #naturetravel #familytravel #usnationalparks #usroadtrip #familyadventuretravel #grandteton #yellowstonenationalpark

The last one is so blue it looks fake! Moraine Lake is in our opinion even more beautiful than Lake Louise, so don’t skip this on your trip to Banff National Park. It no longer accessible by private vehicle so you have to book the Parks Canada shuttle or one of several other private tour companies that will take you there. Peyto Lake is an even brighter blue than the other 2 lakes! It is about 21 miles north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway. This viewpoint is a short walk uphill from the parking lot. The advantage of visiting this lake is that you can drive there yourself and parking is free. We had to wait about 5 minutes to find a spot to park, but it’s much more accessible than the other 2 lakes. Save this for your Banff trip planning and share with someone you’d like to visit these stunning alpine lakes with someday! #banffnationalpark #banffcanada #travelalberta #canadaroadtrip #canadatravel #canadatrip #albertacanada #adventuretravel #outdoortravel #familytravels #familyroadtrip #familytrips #familytraveler

Here’s how you can do it 👇 Right now one of our favorite business cards has its highest ever sign-up bonus to earn 120K points!!! That’s enough to fly roundtrip in business class to Europe, or fly 4 people roundtrip in economy to Europe! You only have to pay taxes/fees on award flights, which starts at $5.60 (and yes we’ve flown business class internationally for just $5.60 in taxes!) The trick to making these points go further is by transferring them to travel partners instead of booking directly through the bank’s travel portal. This is how we can stretch the value of 120K points (worth $1,500 through the bank’s travel portal) to $5K, $10K, or more! Comment “favorites” and then scroll down to the second card listed under our favorites for more info on this 🔥 offer! If you’re thinking you don’t qualify for a business credit card, you’d be surprised at what can qualify you! Any side hustle that earns income can qualify you when you apply as a sole proprietor. Do you walk dogs, house sit, sell things on Facebook Marketplace, consult, create content, blog, own a rental property, drive for Uber or DoorDash? Those count! Let us know if you apply through our link so we can say thanks! 🙏🏻🙏🏾 #awardtravel #pointsandmiles #milesandpoints #points #creditcardpoints #businessclass #businessclassflight #luxurytravel #travelonpoints #travelpoints #travelrewards #travelcreditcards #businesscreditcard #businesscredit

When visiting Yellowstone, make sure to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There are several different viewpoints but the most famous is Artist’s Point, which is the 2nd photo. We visited Yellowstone on points and stayed in a @vacasa 2 bedroom condo with a loft for 30,000 @wyndhamhotels points per night. We didn’t have Wyndham points so we transferred @capitalone miles to Wyndham for this booking. There’s a new limited time offer for the Capital One Venture Rewards Card for 75,000 miles and $250 to use on Capital One Travel in the first cardholder year when you spend $4,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening. That’s enough points for 5 nights in a one-bedroom Vacasa (that costs less than $250 per night after taxes/fees). Plus you’d still have the $250 credit to use for more travel. Comment “Venture” and we’ll send you more info and the link to apply. Thanks for using our link if you apply, which supports our work at no cost to you! #yellowstonenationalpark #bigskymontana #awardtravel #vacasa #pointsandmiles #capitalone #yellowstonenps #nationalparksusa #familytravel #familytrips #familyvacations #pointstravel
