Ajay spent a few years as a digital nomad before deciding the Philippines was where he'd stop moving. He still travels constantly, mostly around Asia, and mostly toward food. Ask him about a destination and you'll get restaurants before you get hotels.
That's shaped what he covers. He's more interested in the redemption that gets you somewhere specific than the one that looks best in an award chart, and he's flown enough long-haul economy to be honest about what a "sweet spot" actually costs you.
He writes the explainers: how a program works, what a devaluation means for points you're already holding, and whether the redemption everyone recommends is still the good one. Answer first, reasoning after.
