Hi everyone!

I'm new here but one of my friends who frequents this forum directed me here. I'm a Creative Writing student (specifically with a Journalistic Writing concentration) from the University of Pennsylvania, and I was hoping to interview a few of you who have some hundreds of thousands of miles under your belt (if not more) and are in the Philadelphia area.

I'm writing a story about frequent flyer culture,.currently framing it in a "travel hacking" angle, and running the gamut of things people do to maximize the number of miles (special credit cards, mileage runs, etc). It's a fascinating, somewhat competitive world that isn't documented in writing as well as I thought it would have been.

If you are someone with a frequent flyer account that would make the layman go "ooh and aah", live in the Philadelphia area, and would be willing to spare this senior some of your time to find out more about your travel adventures and motivations, I would be so grateful.

(I know that normally newbies can't really make such huge requests like this, but I cleared it with a moderator who said I could try my luck in this forum. I don't mean to sound pushy!)

Anyway, thank you all for reading and hope you all have a pleasant day!
