Before Matt got into the points and miles game, his job as a full-time scuba diving instructor was his ticket to travel the world.

When not diving, Matt enjoys sharing his top travel tips, advice and his knowledge about the world of points and miles.

Matt has a degree in English Literature and Philosophy, and has written for other personal finance and business blogs, including Wise Business.
