How To Define Your Travel Style

The Thought Card

05/26/22 • 12 min

4.0

What is your travel style? Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all, and there isn’t one way to see the world, only what works for you. When I started traveling after landing my first job after graduate school, my funds were limited. As a result, I had to be creative and I eventually discovered my travel style which helped me align my spending with the items and experiences that mattered most. In this episode, learn how to define your travel style and how it impacts your finances.

This episode is sponsored by Knack Bags, a slim and lightweight backpack for everyday use but also expands when you need it. Knack Bags are functional, accessible, and stylish. I love that it packs like a suitcase (opening horizontally) so you don't have to dig for items in the dark. Get a Knack bag and use the code 'TTCKNACK' to get a free TSA-approved lock with purchase; add the TSA lock to your cart with your Knack bag, enter the code and get it for free.

If you enjoy this show, please consider leaving me a tip by buying me a coffee. With your support, I look forward to continuing to bring you informative personal finance and travel content every other week.

Also, please take a moment to share what you’d like for us to cover next on the show. Request a podcast episode here.

[MWB Series] How To Negotiate A Raise and Latina Equal Pay With Athena Valentine Lent

The Thought Card

01/25/21 • 27 min

Athena Valentine Lent is fighting the good fight to bring financial education to people who look like her. Her family didn’t know much about money, budgeting, or bank accounts. Then when Athena was a freshman in high school, her mother passed away. Immediately, she became a homeless teen on a rocky path.

Fortunately, her uncle inspired her to go to college, get an education, and turn her life around.

Today, Athena’s work as a program manager for a nonprofit allows her to promote the importance of education, salary negotiations, and work-related opportunities for students all over the state of Arizona, especially those in low-income neighborhoods.

How Black Travel Alliance Supports Black Travel Content Creators

The Thought Card

12/27/20 • 20 min

Although Black travelers spend over $109 Billion on travel annually, we are grossly underrepresented in travel marketing. Black travel content creators are passed up for media and employment opportunities as well as paid campaigns. We are not paid equitably, and many travel brands neglect to market directly to us. Black Travel Alliance is changing that.
