    Thank you
    Hi šŸ‘‹, Julia! Thank you for doing an episode about disabilities. I personally have ADD and bipolar. Travel definitely concerns me. Especially since my bipolar meds are illegal in some parts of the world. I owe you and your guest on that episode each a hug šŸ«‚. Physical touch is my love language. lol. Iā€™m Andrew. Weā€™ve messaged on instagram before. But instagram closed my account for a reason they wonā€™t share.

    Travel Tips for Everyone
    Julia does a fantastic job of including all levels of travel experience in her podcasts. Everyone can gain knowledge and useful advice for both credit card and general travel related topics. The variety of guests she interviews on the podcast is second to none. Julia is down to earth, gives honest advice, doesnā€™t try to sell you courses, and genuinely tries to help out her listeners.

    Points and miles info goldmine!
    This is my absolute favorite podcast for maximizing points and miles. Julia is so down to earth and a wealth of knowledge in the ā€œtravel hackingā€ world. I love how she brings so many different people and their perspectives and knowledge onto her podcast. Iā€™ve listened to almost every episode and Iā€™m so grateful I found this resource!

    Always learning something new
    I often find myself going back in timeline and rewatching some of the episodes because there are hidden gems and secrets all over the podcast space. I love that Julia brings in new people from various backgrounds - thatā€™s very unique in the points and miles community. Everyone wants to promote their show but Julia just wants to help people and bring them closer to their dream destinations!

    Travel hacking for all levels
    Julia has quickly advanced me from beginner to booking my first trip with points and opened the doors for continued exploration. Her podcasts and interviews cover the wider opportunities available, but she does a great job educating on lesser know opportunities for points accumulation and specializes in maximizing your points redemptions.
  • Kathleen M Hall
    Informative & an easy listen!
    For someone who works in luxury tourism, I have never taken much time to learn many points/miles hacks on top of just the general travel hacks I have accumulated over the years. This podcast makes me excited about this new topic for me and Julia makes it so easy to comprehend. Definitely recommend and keep doing what youā€™re doing, Julia!
  • SA mom 2021
    Good content but canā€™t stand the up talking
    The content was informative; however, the constant up talking is so grating on my nerves that itā€™s like nails on a chalkboard. In a podcast, I like to hear people speak to each other as they would in normal conversations, but every other sentence ends in what sounds like a question. Be confident - you are obviously an expert! When you end many sentences on a high note, it makes you sound like you do not believe in yourself.
  • JLGayton
    Very Insightful, Fact Based Travel Podcast
    I am not an amateur when it comes to travel. However, when it comes to comparing my knowledge to Juliaā€™s, I am. I learn something everytime I listen to her. She has become one of my favorites consequently I listen regularly.
  • Leo circle
    The travel hacks culture is so welcoming
    Thank you Julia for this platform. This is such a great hobby and each of your guests have been welcoming in their own individual social media. Thank you for sharing your own jewels, how will you hack. Your knowledge and expertise is just outstanding.
  • E.V.ddie
    Episode 142 awful
    Itā€™s a below average podcast even for points and miles. I feel dumber after listening episode 142 in its entirety. Bad guest.
  • sallybfree
    So knowledgeable!
    Iā€™ve listened to a ton of points and miles podcasts, and Geobreeze is one of the three that I listen to almost every week. Julia is so knowledgeable and often knows more about the subject than the people sheā€™s interviewing, but sheā€™s really good at adding her expertise without being rude or obnoxious about it. I appreciate her honestly about the potential pitfalls of the points and miles game.
  • K_Schmidt
    A Must Listen If Youā€™re In the Travel & Points Game
    Each show is hyper focused on one topic, whether itā€™s a location, ecosystem or backstory. Look back through the achieves before you book any trip. Easy listening
  • ShinarJSB
    finally!
    FINALLY, someone had the courage to tout the POSITIVES of Delta status. If I had to listen to one more miles snob dismiss Delta miles as unworthy i was gonna pull my hair out. The brilliance of this podcast is that you can find travel positives in many different areas on many platforms with different cards. Everyone doesnā€™t have to fly Southwest use a Chase card for everything or always stay at Hyatt. The cookie cutter direction most podcasts are taking is monotonous and boring. Thank you for delving outside of that narrative. Great show with Janelle!
  • Kakop
    Great tips
    Love this show- Julia really wants to help you accomplish your goals with all her great tips.

    Travel Hacking with Friends
    I love this show because how practical and applicable it is. Instead of intense, time consuming strategies it provides more accessible travel hacking strategies. I also really appreciate the different voices, backgrounds and goals applied to the topic of travel hacking.
  • RocioRi
    Great show with lots of different content
    What I love of Juliaā€™s podcasts is that she always brings a new guest to talk in her show and I always end learning something new. She always adds very valuable information to the topic that is being discussed and keeps it real. She has a fresh perspective and breaks all the info down so is easy to digest. I have recommended her podcast to all my friends because she is transparent and provides good and wise advise. Thank you for generating valuable content for everyone!

    Good Stuff
    Learn all kinds of good stuff on this show. Also really like Real Talk Personal Finance podcast as well for some additional topics.
  • ms_daners
    Amazing travel/points podcast!
    I love this podcast! As someone who is newer to travel ā€œhackingā€, this podcast has been so helpful. Julia has so much knowledge to share and is constantly keeping listeners up to date on points and miles. Her guests come from all walks of life and help share how they have learned to travel on a budget with points and miles. I wish I had started listening and learning earlier! Thank you!
  • Fuftryugfdzgugferhbgjgchh
    Great Travel Tips!
    I love this show because Julia features all different types of travel guests. Often times travel influencers only showcase big luxurious travels, and I love the different topics covered on this show. You will learn so much about travel hacking from this that you can practically and easily apply!
  • G-DOG0961
    Such a wealth of information!
    I am so thankful to listen to a female perspective with something to learn from every episode. Julia has such a warm, calm and informative tone that is so lovely to listen to. The last thing I want to hear some loud excitable man bark orders, and man-splain, what I should/shouldnā€™t be be doing with my credit cards. Juliaā€™s genuine curiosity and thoughtful, relevant questions for her guests show her commitment to learning along with her listeners. So much to learn from the benefits of how accumulating points with credit cards and various was of doing this can benefit so many regardless of income or tax bracket.
  • SN2783
    Great information and guests!
    I always look forward each week to hear about the different guests and perspectives on how to earn and redeem points. I also get inspiration for travel destinations! I never thought about the Florida Keys, but why not? Every week brings great info!
  • DC 2 SF
    Helpful and relevant content
    Iā€™ve been following Geobreeze for little over a year now and have just made it through about every episode. This is easily one of my top 3 for points and miles content. What I appreciate is that that each episode remains true to P&M and doesnā€™t deviate to non-relevant info. I also find this to be more authentic as many guests are sharing their own experiences and journeys (vs solely industry experts) of how they got there, what they use points for, what works/what doesnā€™t, etc. not everyoneā€™s points journey are the ideal path. Iā€™ve picked up and successfully used several tips from Julia and other guests and this show has encouraged me to ramp up my own points game. Iā€™ll likely take the next step in doing a consult and consider joining the Patreon.

    Wanderlust and purposeful travel <3
    Yes, you will learn A LOT about how to travel well. Think ridiculously affordable flights in *business class* and stays at *fancy* hotels! Julia is a great explainer of how credit cards and points work to make your global wanderlust life possible. But it's actually more than that. She and her guests keep it very real, down to earth. It's not only the Instagram glam of travel. Her interviews bring out people's stories and inspire your genuine LOVE of travel. For me, I'm on a several year journey to take my mom around the world, making up for lost time. That's why I've listened to every single one of Julia's podcasts and am eager for the next one!
  • M. Glide
    Addicting!
    Juliaā€™s podcast is easy to listen to and has strategies for novice and advanced travel hackers alike! This is due to the diverse speakers she has on the show. The episodes all have a similar flow and predictability to them, but because of the broad range of guests they are each unique and peak my interest. I have found myself listening to episode after episode! This podcast is almost as addicting as travel hacking itself! What I love most is that the show highlights how the points and miles community is always growing and learning alongside one another- everyoneā€™s successes are celebrated!
  • z3mom
    Favorite travel podcast
    I like Juliaā€™s straightforward and structured podcast that helps the community build each other up and find tips for beginners (like me) and advanced travel hackers! This is my go-to travel hacking podcast with super practical tips while also providing inspiration.
  • bee-whal
    Popped my travel cherry ;))
    Julia was the first travel hacker I found and she remains my go-to teacher for how to travel the way I want. Each podcast episode is full of resources, insights, perspectives, and travels around the world. Hearing how different travel experts had their beginnings and learned from their own early mistakes is a valuable crash course for those newer to travel hacking. Have a listen and let travel take you away!
  • debgym96
    Great for travel tips
    Juliaā€™s podcast is a great source of travel hacking information, I love that she interviews so many guests with a large variety of travel backgrounds. I particularly appreciate that she interviews women and BIPOC quite often.

    Thanks for this podcast! It really opens up our eyes to many different ideas for traveling with points, regardless of what kind of traveler you are!

    Worth your time!
    With so many podcasts to choose from, itā€™s hard to sort through which ones are worth your time. This one definitely is. Iā€™m so happy to have found Julia with Geobreeze Travel and this podcast! Iā€™ve learned so much about earning and using points, and insider tips that I havenā€™t heard anywhere else. Her guests always have so much valuable information to share. Thanks for all the work you put into this podcast, Julia!

    Opened up a world of travel
    This podcast has changed how we travel! Itā€™s the first time Iā€™ve heard of using points and miles to travel and literally started my current points obsession. I love how Julia invites people with a variety of experience to the show and highlights people of color and women!

    Mama of 2 learning how to travel for free with family
    I LOVE to travel and used to travel around a lot more when younger. But since becoming a mom of 2, traveling as a family has gotten a lot more expensive (esp these recent years!) so I finally dig into learning about travel hacking and found geobreeze. Iā€™m still in the beginning of the journey but have found a lot of great travel hacks and inspirations here. Excited to finally being able to travel again and hopefully for free!
  • Jake tjfndndk
    So Amazing!!
    This is the BEST podcast on travel hacking! Iā€™ve learned so much about credit cards, travel hacking, and how to take life changing vacations. Thank you for the value you provide!!
  • kmavapc
    Highly recommend for newer miles enthusiasts
    Iā€™ve been listening to Juliaā€™s podcast for 4 months and love it. I got involved in the points and miles life last year. There are lots of resources and websites to visit but I have latched onto Geobreeze! The episodes are very accessible and interesting. She has a good mix of guests on talking about hotel points, general credit card hacking, and airline miles. Her podcast and other content also donā€™t feel sponsored/corporate like many other travel hacking creators. I recommend following her on Instagram too, Iā€™ve taken advantage of a few promotions sheā€™s mentioned that worked!
  • bneate
    Great show!
    I enjoy listening to these weekly episodes! Useful content not too difficult for beginners to follow.
  • punjabireans
    Inspirational travel podcasts
    I am always so inspired by Juliaā€™s podcast. I first heard about it when she was a guest on the all the hacks podcast when she was a guest. I love the way she interviews her guest and really digs deep into the mistakes they made and even supports so many other travel hacking creators. I feel like Iā€™m constantly learning so much and itā€™s such a great value all for free.
  • Belleniente
    Always discovering travel wins here!
    Iā€™m enthused that this podcast exists and only disappointed I didnā€™t find it sooner! The ideas shared here strike the right balance of achievable and aspirational, and Iā€™ve learned so much from Julie and her guests.
  • mirandarigh
    A weekly must-listen!
    This is one of the podcasts I listen to every week when it drops. Julia gets real about points and miles, and Iā€™ve learned about a lot of strategies that you donā€™t hear about on other podcasts. I also like hearing the pros and cons of some of the strategies and mistakes that people have made, rather than just the ā€œhighlights reel.ā€ Julia also tries to get into specifics with her guests, so you can learn how to go to some of the destinations theyā€™re talking about. Overall, this podcast is entertaining and informative, while keeping it real. Highly recommend!
  • Ren CG
    Inspiring and relatable
    Juliaā€™s Instagram is the first travel hacking account Iā€™ve ever followed and while I enjoy seeing her travel adventures there, Iā€™m glad she also has this podcast because of the variety of guests and topics. I never thought there could be many different perspectives when it comes to travel hacking. As someone with a career in nonprofits, I was surprised to hear someone like me talking about how to earn points for travel. Highly recommend!
  • Melissa Sheehan
    Feels like a library of audible knowledge!
    I got laid off from my software engineering job back in September. Travel hacking is not a topic I thought Iā€™d get into at this time but when I realized I had so much time to research..I realized all the ways I plan plan trips without hardly spending any additional money beyond the basic necessities! Finding the Geobreeze podcast felt like the last ingredient to a perfect storm: lots of time and interest to dive deep into research/strategizing, a hoarded pile of points that accumulated during the pandemic, and now a source of streamlined knowledge to not suffer from analysis paralysis. Really glad I came across this wealth of information. Thereā€™s so many intriguing topics, many not even directly related to travel hacking but share a similar spirit of creativity with finances. I myself started house hacking with my partner last year. Very cool to come across podcasts where I can listen to people whose hustle I resonate with!
  • mash417
    Informative and varied
    Julia is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to points, miles, and general travel hacks! I really like how the podcast focuses on a different geographic location each week. The conversations make aspirational travel seem a lot more accessible.
  • KMAlex62
    Great podcast for all levels of points and miles!
    I love Juliaā€™s podcast! She is very direct and asks guests the questions I would want to know. Great information if youā€™re a newbie to points and miles, or if youā€™re a veteran that has seen the world. I was able to get my husband behind travel hacking thanks to this podcast - and weā€™re never looking back!
