Ajay spent a few years as a digital nomad before deciding the Philippines was where she'd stop moving. She still travels constantly, mostly around Asia, and mostly toward food. Ask her about a destination and you'll get restaurants before you get hotels.
That's shaped what she covers. She's more interested in the redemption that gets you somewhere specific than the one that looks best in an award chart, and she's flown enough long-haul economy to be honest about what a "sweet spot" actually costs you.
She writes the explainers: how a programme 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.
