We are Alex & Kobe!
A dynamic duo balancing full-time jobs with a passion for travel and exploring the world. By day, we are grinding away in the corporate world in the greater Indianapolis area. But when the opportunity arises, we shift gears to become part-time globetrotters, foodies, and adventurers eager to explore new destinations and cultures.
We’re not here to showcase professional photography skills or boast about visiting every corner of the globe. Instead, we offer a down-to-earth perspective, sharing our genuine experiences and practical tips to help you navigate the world of travel hacking alongside us.
Our story began in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 with Kobe making the first move by sliding into Alex’s DMs (we know… a modern day love story). One DM led to another that sparked a connection that would ultimately lead us on a path of shared discovery and wanderlust. Fast forwarding to 2023, we made a decision to combine our efforts in pursuit of a new life experience.
Our journey into travel hacking began with our first trip, where we realized the potential of leveraging credit card rewards and strategic planning to stretch our budget and make traveling more accessible. Since then, we’ve dedicated our time and resources to share what we’ve learned and can’t wait to share with others seeking to do the same.
Join us as we navigate the realities of balancing work and travel, sharing our insights and experiences along the way. Together, let’s uncover the joys of exploration and inspire others to embark on their own adventures. Welcome to our journey!
