Hey there, we’re Ian and Sarah, an American (MD) and Canadian (ON) who fell in love after meeting in Germany and now call Birmingham (AL) home. And to put it plainly, we’ve got a thing for saving money and seeing the world!
From collecting miles and points to always being on the lookout for new ways to save money, we’ve learned a lot of new things over the years and we love sharing these fun facts and tips with others. Our hope is that this blog would be a space where we are able to talk about the things we are passionate about and that you would come along for the ride!
