Do you love travel?

Is it of high value for you to create great experiences in your life?

Would you love to fly across the ocean to an exotic destination and get to enjoy the thrill of business class travel? 

Do you want all of that without breaking the bank? 

If you answered yes to any of those questions, listen up! I’ve partnered with longtime friend, Roger Kleckner, aka the Miles Mentor, to bring the art of affordable luxury travel to you.

You might be wondering what this has to do with side gigs and career design. Well, it’s part of the big picture of creating the life you desire.

Many of us choose a career in dentistry thinking it’s going to give us everything we want in life: autonomy, fulfillment, connections, and freedom. We may get some or all of that, but there are no guarantees. Some of us end up trading away our feeling of freedom, no matter how much money we make.

When I practiced dentistry, I had a lot of autonomy which led to “freedom”– on paper! As a dentist, I received respect and admiration from others, got to impact patients’ lives, and made good money— but I never felt so trapped in my life. Those Golden Handcuffs kept me stuck because I didn’t think I could be happy with less.

Through my career transition, I learned that wealth is about more than money.

Abundance can be measured in experiences, connections, health, and more.

My mission has always been to share that with you. You can live an abundant life with less money!

Don’t get me wrong– money is important. But the best thing about money is the experiences it affords you.

And that’s where the Miles Mentor comes in.

Roger and I have been friends for over a decade. We met in yoga, and after class we used to get caught up in the hallway strategizing the big trips we were going to plan for the year. Well, mostly it was Roger sharing his creative ideas about how to accumulate credit card points and how to create our dream trips with them. He even helped me plan several trips to places like Spain, Italy, and Bali all in business class— and all for a few hundred dollars.

In fact, in November, I flew all the way to Bali in business class for only $103.67!

The Mentor (Roger) helped me create those luxury experiences I wanted in life without breaking the bank. I could still live the lifestyle I wanted without having to practice dentistry.

This isn’t about your career. It’s about your life.

Join me this year, as we chronicle my travels in Luxury for Less: The Ultimate Travel Project. I have a lot of great travel booked this year– most of it to fun dental events. I know, I know… we used to think that “fun” and “dental events” couldn’t fit in the same sentence, but we’re changing that! When you show up in the right community, it is way more fun!

Throughout this year, I will share what I learn from Roger about travel planning in real time. I’ll also share some tips directly from him to you, so we can all learn together!

Plus, if you want to get into action for yourself, you’ll get a chance to learn from him too. As an affiliate sponsor of this blog, Miles Mentor has shared a great discount for my community. If you’d like to create your own travel project too, click here for more information!
