My Story
I'm a globe-trotting adventurer who thrives on exploring new cultures and destinations. With a knack for turning travel credit card points into unforgettable experiences, I jet-set around the world, making every journey both thrilling and rewarding.
Originally hailing from the vibrant streets of the Big Apple, I now call the sunny shores of the Big Guava—Tampa, Florida—my home. The term "Big Guava" was coined in the 1970s by newspaper columnist Steve Otto, drawing a playful parallel to New York's "Big Apple" nickname.
