Trevor Wright interviewed by Mikkel Thorup on The Expat Money Show

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Trevor Wright. In 2014 he started a company called Mile Method, a 1-on-1 service that helps Americans travel anywhere in the world for almost free by earning and redeeming US credit card signup bonuses.

North Dakota-born, Nebraska-raised, his travel experiences have evolved from study abroad student to broke backpacker to the luxury traveller. He has averaged $13 per flight to 133 countries while staying free in many of the world’s most prestigious hotels.
