About Shawn Gallagher
Hello, internet! I’m Shawn Gallagher, the founder and author of this website, and I’m based in New York City and Boston. I grew up in Tokyo, Japan in an international family, meaning I frequently made visits to the US East Coast to see family members. This meant that since I was little, I was involved in a lot of traveling and flying, and I became obsessed with it ever since my first memory of flying.
Having been exposed to frequent international travel since a young age, I was able to learn about the world of points and miles naturally. I redeemed my first business class trip using AAdvantage miles I accumulated at age 18, and I never looked back since. Through this blog, I aim to share my knowledge about the industry as well as my own travel experiences through airline reviews.
My trip reviews can be found on the Reviews page, and posts about rewards programs and credit cards can be found in the Rewards Programs and Credit Card sections, respectively. Various travel tips and info can be found on the Travel Info page.
All of my photos and videos are taken with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Some of my older posts have pictures taken with my old iPhone 12.
Enjoy reading!
