Anya is a credit cards and travel writer contributing content to a number of publications, including 10xTravel, Forbes Advisor, NerdWallet, Fodor’s and Reward Expert. Anya has a bachelor’s degree in mass communication from the University of Utah.

As a travel junkie, she uses credit card points and miles to fund her own adventures to (hopefully) every country in the world. There’s no way to determine whether her wanderlust will ever subside. Probably never.
