After 8 Years, 74 Countries, and 848 Flights: What It Really Costs to Live as a Digital Nomad

Eight years ago this week, my wife Katie and I took off on our first flight as digital nomads. Eight years later, we are still traveling the world full-time with no plans to stop. Thanks to points and miles, we've been able to travel full-time for a lot less than we ever imagined. Here's a recap of how much we've traveled in the past eight years — and how we paid for it.

Airport to City Rentals with Avis from $9.99

Avis has introduced a new one-way car rental promo from airports to cities across the US for as little as $9.99 per rental. With this promotion, you can pick up a car from the airport and drop it off downtown, or pick it up downtown and drop it off at the airport. Although this does have some limitations, including restrictions on travel days and locations, if the stars align, you could save a significant amount of money with a rental versus Uber/Lyft or a Taxi. This promotion is clearly targeted at the leisure/weekend traveler, and we like it!
