Jean Chatsky knows how to save you money. A frequent guest on Oprah's show, a columnist for AARP, and 'Today' financial expert at NBC for 25 years, she's helped millions make the most of their budget. And that applies to traveling, as well. Jean offers us tips and then gets personal about some of her favorite travels, from childhood to now.
We start the episode with how Lea and Jean met, years ago. Then travel budgeting, Jean's early travel memories, and travel tips for saving money.
We talk of the slow-travel movement, airlines and airports, and free (or almost free) travel ideas.
The final part of the podcast focuses on economical travel destinations, trips that Jean and Lea remember to Greece and Israel, and Jean's special travel memory that resonates until today.
