Tiffany first caught the travel bug during a study abroad program in Italy when she was in college. She’s since returned dozens of times to visit family, apply for dual citizenship, and just spend time there out of pure (Italian) joy. Her travel-hacking journey began several years after that initial trip to Italy, but travel credit cards, miles, and points were always the first tools in her travel toolkit. In 2022, she quit her job as a healthcare provider in order to travel full-time and began her writing and editing career as a freelancer for a variety of travel publications before joining the Daily Drop team.

What is your favorite country or travel experience? 100% Italy! I still remember that feeling of emerging from the metro in Rome and seeing the Colosseum for the first time. But Japan, Finland, and Iceland are also close favorites.
Do you have a favorite travel hack that you’ve done? Using my Amex points to book an $8,000, 15-hour Emirates business-class flight from Seattle to Dubai… for $100!
