One of these was the idea of a bunch of frequent flyers chartering a plane to go on a massive miles earning and downright educational experience to different parts of the world. It just seemed far fetched to me that this could actually happen, with busy schedules, flyers located all over … [Read more...] about What is a MegaDO and Why Would I Want One?

Benchmarking Jeffsetter Travel Blog Traffic vs. TripAdvisor Reviews
There was a point in January when I compared the number of visitors I had on my site to my TripAdvisor page views and they were about the same. While writing that post, I questioned in my mind whether it was worthwhile for me to continue to write my own blog or if I was better off just posting on a forum like TripAdvisor with a built in user base.

Two weeks ago I wrote a post previewing my first ever trip to Frequent Traveler University and what I was expecting to see and do during my time. I had such a good time that weekend that it took nearly a week to get back into a regular writing routine since the event. I did manage to write a post about my experience participating in the LaunchPoint event on Sunday afternoon of … [Read more...] about Frequent Traveler University Washington DC Recap
