Rewards Travel Planning with Dr. Amita Kumar
Episode Description
When it comes to travel, some of us love the planning phase, while others would prefer to have someone else handle all the planning, allowing them to simply turn up and enjoy their trip. Whichever category you fall into, today’s episode is for you.
Today, I’m joined by another physician-entrepreneur who is taking her travel experiences to the next level by leveraging her business expenses: Dr. Amita Kumar. Dr. Kumar is a primary care physician in San Antonio, Texas. Recently, she decided to take a sabbatical from her clinical practice and since one of her passions is traveling with her family, she has found a more economical way to do so by utilizing credit card points.
Amita now helps other families schedule and plan their own travel itineraries, as well as coaching on time management and generally getting things done. She is discussing her love of planning, the kind of planning drama that comes up for her clients, and she’s sharing how she helps people overcome their planning blocks so they can start making the most of the points they earn and the time they spend traveling.
