100% correct. I'm a freelance writer for NerdWallet, Forbes Advisor, CNBC Select, Scott's Cheap Flights -- and a freelance editor and writer for AwardWallet.

I'm definitely enjoying the hustle of working for a bunch of different publications and the variety of work that I can do in this arrangement. Plus, no one publication has been able to offer a high enough salary to cover what I'm making from freelancing (which, by the way, is more than I was making at TPG).

Always happy to answer questions or receive any feedback about my work. I'm happy to be an open book about everything I'm legally allowed to share. My roots are right here in FlyerTalk as an aspiring traveler that wanted to learn how to maximize everything so I could travel as much as possible. In 2015, TPG gave me a shot to write for them - which put me on the path to where I am today. I understand how some can see working for them as selling out. But, that gave me the opportunity to leave the tax accounting field and travel full-time. And it's allowed me to be in the place I am today.
