From bucket showers with cockroaches in Africa to staying at a luxury Park Hyatt for free — we've spent more than 30 years figuring out how to see the world without spending a fortune.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Davey & Annie Hall See It All!

Our first adventures together involved backpacking through Africa, hitchhiking, overnight buses, unexpected encounters with bats, and hotels without running water. We were young, adventurous, and determined to travel as far as our budget would take us.

Three decades later, we're still budget travelers. But our strategy has changed.

Annie discovered the world of credit card points and miles, and Davey — initially a skeptic — eventually became a believer. Today, we're using travel rewards to explore more of the world, stay in incredible hotels, and create new adventures together.

In this episode, we share how our travel story began, some of our funniest (and least glamorous) adventures, and why we believe travel is about experiences rather than luxury.

In our next episode, we'll share practical advice for getting started with points and miles — including what we wish we'd known when we began.

✈️ Want to travel more and spend less?
