A little bit about Matt and the Travel University.

Hello fellow Millionaire Minds,

My name is Matt and I am an Australian-born ex-teacher working a desk job in Victoria, BC. I run a flight consulting business on the side which is a fancy way of saying that I am a huge flight enthusiast and love to help people travel. I have lived and worked in France, England, New York, Toronto, Austria and Australia. Travelling taught me a lot about how to identify pricing patterns and how to maximise value when it comes to moving from A to B. I have some solid strategies I use to travel internationally (Australia, Europe, Caribbean) from Canada roughly 4 times every year without spending more than $1000 on flights for the whole year. I specialise in finding the best price for paid flights, and maximising value for frequent flyer points and miles. The Travel University was created to help teach as many people as possible about how to avoid spending thousands more each year on flights than they need to. Come along and I bet you will learn something!
