There is a myth that travel is unaffordable and unattainable.
I have lived and travelled around the world
and I spend less and less money making it happen.
You can do what I do. You can pay yourself to travel.
I wanted to revisit Korea but the cheapest return flight online was $1,378 CAD. After some sleuthing and using a few travel hacking tips, I secured return flights to Seoul AND even added another country to my trip with a day stopover in Tokyo…for only $283 CAD!
I wanted to fly home to Canada from New Zealand, which is typically pretty expensive. Luckily, I knew how to find a discounted flight and I used points. In the end, I only paid $341 to fly from one end of the world to the other, a savings of at least $600!
Working with Tara at Travel with TMc has been an incredible investment in our ability to travel. As a young family of 5, with half our extended family overseas, travel will always be a part of our life, not just for pleasure but necessity. Not only is it saving us a lot of money using the hacks Tara taught us, but we can travel more frequently. Less than a year into working with Tara we have saved enough points for 2 roundtrip direct flights to Europe from Vancouver, Canada. We didn’t spend more than usual, we just capitalized on what we are already spending living our daily lives. Honestly it has given us a lot of hope that we can see our family more regularly as well as take some leisure trips in there too! Tara makes it incredibly easy to start earning points right away, she is so thorough, knowledgeable, and good craic too (if you aren’t up on your Irish slang, you should google “craic”).  We can’t thank you enough Tara!!!
It’s great having friends and family spread around the world, until wedding season arrives. In the past, it used to mean choosing between an expensive flight or missing a special event. However, I’ve learned a few tips and tricks! Friends of mine were getting married in Vancouver in August (peak season), when flights typically cost $800 or more from Toronto, Canada. I booked my tickets last minute in July…for only $156 return! There’s no more stress and I no longer have to choose between participating with friends and family or keeping my bank account alive.
Simply put, Tara is unbelievable. I told her how my wife and I were trying to go to the Tokyo Olympics to support a childhood friend. On Google the flights cost $2,800 for both of us. After Tara helped, we found flights using our points for $300 CAD for the total price of our 2 flights!

Life is expensive enough.
House prices are skyrocketing, groceries are pricey, and running a vehicle isn’t cheap either.
Why not maximize on your daily expenses?
Why not pay yourself back?
