Locksport’s monthly Eastside event takes place immediately before the

DC206 Meeting Presentation:
Travel Hacking For Make Benefit Belarus Museum of Cat! =^_^=
by @TProphet
Do you have frequent flier miles, hotel points, or bank points? Millions
of people let their points expire or spend them unoptimally on trips to
boring places like Hawaii instead of visiting the world’s best
undiscovered tourist hotspots. For example, why not visit the glorious
tractor factory and statue of Lenin in Minsk, Belarus? Speaking of
museums, there is a Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia.
TProphet will discuss travel hacking tools, techniques, mistake fares,
and some of the more interesting places he has visited using travel hacks.
TProphet has been phreaking since middle school and writing for 2600:
The Hacker Quarterly since high school. These days he’s into travel
hacking, and has leveraged mistake fares, miles and points to visit all
7 continents. TProphet is the founder of AwardCat (https://award.cat).
This event will be videotaped by Panic. During event, remote users can
interactively ask questions to speaker. You’ll need to sign in to Google
Chat on the below Youtube URL. If you cannot attend, here’s the URL for
