ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kylee Reiss
My name is Kylee and I’m 24 years old! Two years ago I studied abroad in Rome, Italy for 4 months and that really piqued my interest in international travel. During my time in Italy, I spent almost every weekend in a different Italian city, taking in the culture. One of my favorite experiences though, was my week long trip in Paris, France, where I lived out my childhood dream of traveling to Paris. Since then, I’ve graduated with a degree in architecture and have now visited 10 countries.
I’ve spent the last 2 years spending countless hours researching travel and learning how to afford it. I’d consider myself a beginner in the world of booking travel via credit card points, but many of my recent trips have been a mixture of redemptions and spending from my travel fund. I like to focus on a variety of price ranges and areas of interest. Although I have a great passion for architecture, I want to experience as many things as possible when traveling, including culture, food, and the outdoors.
Where I’ve been:
📍USA, Canada, Dominican Republic, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, UAE, Maldives, & Iceland
