Hi Ricky! It’d be great to get an update on this topic now that you have vastly improved the site, set up membership subscriptions and brought on employees/freelancers. I sense a real business engine behind the scenes at POT 2.0 and I’m sure a lot of business owners would love to peek under the hood at your systems and processes. Thanks for all the great work you do!
So far, the Prince of Travel blog has been my go to for some more in-depth analysis on M&P. You’re probably the only all Canadian blogger and the layout is easy to read and understand. I appreciate the work you’ve done for us!
Prince of Travel is just perfect for any Canadian starting off or even experienced M&P users for a handy reference or to refresh their memory. I visit the blog several times a week and have certain ones bookmarked to refer back to as I plan my strategy and trips.
Keep up the good work and I enjoy your youtube videos.
Prince of Travel is my go to for all M&P information, your articles are well written, passionate and very informative. You don’t just say "hey, I booked this luxury with xx points", but you also go behind the scenes to show all the effort that went into planning etc.
You do not hide the illusion that M&P requires effort and financial discipline. Whenever someone asks me about how to get started on M&P, I just direct them to this site’s Newbie Guide.
Have you given any thought about adding a section of readers articles of their M&P travels inspired by Prince of Travel?
Thanks for the article Ricky! Very interesting to see behind the scenes and ESPECIALLY from a Canadian prospective. Let me know if you are ever in Winnipeg- would be great to meet up! Also, if you ever want to talk about using miles and points outside of the big cities that would be interesting. I often find when I change my search from Winnipeg to Toronto or Vancouver I get better results- but that still means I have to get there! Would be interesting to read your thoughts on the topic.

I am also based in Winnipeg and it is very annoying when I have to fly to through Toronto or Vancouver in order to get down to a US city like Chicago, Houston, Seattle or New York in order to fly internationally to avoid AC surcharges. I wish there were more rewards with direct out of Winnipeg =/
I am really inspired by your website – the energy and passion you bring to these topics is terrific. Your website is absolutely beautiful. How did you choose your website design? I have heard a lot about the Genesis framework and was wondering if yours is built on that?
Ricky, I suggest you have a few guest authors if you really want to run it as a business
It’s a good suggestion. There’s way more content out there to talk about than I can realistically cover on my own. The question is, who’s up to standard? 🙂
Ricky you are living MY dream LOL. Really it’s very nice to spectate someone who is following their own star. It’s what makes the blog interesting.
Sometime last year, I can’t be sure when, this blog became my go-to…
While I diversify, I know that the Prince will have any new products up front as they become available and his analysis will be fair.
Very inspiring post. Keep it up!
Keep up the great work buddy!
Hi Ricky: your content is great and it’s kind of you to share the knowledge, either on your site or via email. I wish you continued success! (and make pointsnerd see what he missed by returning to the corporate world)
Ha! It’s alright, at least he’s pulling the strings for us from the inside now…
Every day I look forward to reading your blog. It is one of two or three that actually makes me dream about travel and seeing the world. Now that I am older and semi retired I can go where I want but after a lifetime of non travel, ( my practise kept me near home) I find it hard just to pick up and go. Old habits die hard, but reading about your travels gets me going.
You are smart to do this when you are young and unafraid to take chances.
As a long time follower, I think one of the first, keep it coming!
Thanks John! Yes, you were one of the Day 1s. #4 on the email list if I recall (after three of my friends whom I had forced to join). Always grateful for your support, my friend!
“Who else books their flights to depart on Friday evenings and return on Monday mornings?” Plenty of times to EU for a weekend. Not far fetched at all when swimming in m&p.
