In the Pilot episode of Traveling on Purpose, join me as I talk to one-half of the Point Sisters, Devan Sullivan. Devan and her sister Kelsi, are Americans who grew up in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Being exposed to various cultures at a young age has influenced her love for travel and the desire to travel and explore diverse cultures and religions. 

Introduction to Travel Hacking

Devan admits she didn’t realize she was a travel hacker until 2020, but she had been using points and miles for over 15 years. She shares her early experiences of using her dad’s accumulated points and miles and gradually learning to earn her own.
