Travel Hacking COllege
Let's get started
As much as we want to keep things simple, there is still a lot to learn. One of the best ways to learn is to focus on small, bitesize lessons. These lessons have been set up like a college which start with 101 topics and the go from there. As time goes by, we will continue to add new lessons.
If you are brand new to this, you should start with the 101 track and read everything in order. If you are a little more experienced, you should still start with 101 and read the descriptions for each lesson.
Check out anything you may not already know and then you can skip the rest if you want. Then move on to the next set of lessons.
