Hey listeners, it's Sean, and I've got a very special announcement for all of you who love to travel and want to make your budgets work harder for you.

The team here at Smart Money is launching a brand new weekly podcast called Smart Travel, and it's all about helping you see the world without breaking the bank.

I've got a sneak peek for you right here, so take a listen to the trailer and subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts.

New episodes will air on Wednesdays, and our travel nerds can't wait to help you get

the best value for all your adventures.

Hi there, I'm Megan Coyle.

And I'm Sally French.

Welcome to Smart Travel, where we help you make your travel budget work smarter because who doesn't love more trips for less money.

Exactly. On this show, we don't just hand out travel advice. We break it down. Want to know if that fancy airline credit card is worth it?

Curious whether it's better to book direct or through a third party site. We've done the research and crunch the numbers to give

you the information you need to decide what's right for you. We're your financially savvy friends

who love to travel. Plus, we'll dive into topics like loyalty programs, seasonal booking strategies,

and even whether travel insurance is really worth it or just another way to burn your budget.

And don't worry, we'll keep it fun. We're travel

nerds, not travel snobs. One week, we'll break down how to snag a first class seat using points,

and the next will tell you how Sally managed to turn flight delays into a mini Denver vacation

and $45 in Starbucks gift cards. Spoiler, it involves a lot of chocolate-covered raisins.

So whether you're planning your next getaway

or just love staying ahead of the travel game, hit that follow button. We've got practical

tips, expert interviews, and plenty of hot takes to help you travel smarter, not harder.

Your passport will thank you, and so will your wallet.

Follow smart travel on your favorite podcast app and we'll see you on the runway.
