Welcome to our second newsletter!
|
We have been pretty busy over the last two weeks travelling to Singapore, Vietnam, New York and Hong Kong. We have a few stories from these trips already published plus a number being created. The Cathay Pacific New Year Deal in First Class was an awesome travel hack.

A couple of must read stories in this email. The guide to finding cheap business class flights by Milton. Drew is using the Stockholm to Sydney Business class twice this year. Plus Drew's (and Lillian's) hawker centre review is perfect if you want to enjoy real Singapore food.
