Volunteer Travel Life

May some peace come in some way for the people of Afghanistan and Haiti. I want to have a moment and space for them. In so much unthinkable uncertainty, danger, fear and loss, I am thankful for the people who have been able to make it. Still, there is so much grief, pain and loss I cannot even begin to fathom, and I am thankful for the people on the ground helping. May there be some solace to answer everyone’s resilience.

As I am also now thinking to the future, I do want to be financially savvy and per my previous intro, I am currently setting price alerts to San Juan and Cusco.
If anyone knows how to navigate flight mile rewards and/or credit card travel perks, please do let me know. I am not even close to mastering the deals. I am just sticking to my usual tips of what days and times are the best for scheduling a trip and how many days out you need to schedule in advance. I think Tuesday works but may change or fluctuate at the time of this writing. I also think I have found a good deal in the wee hours of my current eastern standard time but do not quote me on that either.
This alone is pretty advanced knowledge for me because I do not know how soon I will end up wanting to get abroad. Still, is it just my imagination or does it seem like the rates get pretty locked in once you have done one Google, airline, or booking site search.
Yet, randomly, I will come back and play around with some dates and get lucky or just, hurry, lock in the rates before they raise my options. I am not committed yet. Thinking aloud and looking forward to planning to not have plans.
