Travel hacking for beginners

I recently gave a short presentation to a group of friends to introduce them to the joys of travel hacking. I’d like to share the materials with the rest of you here. Do let me know if you spot any typos or mistakes, I’m sure there will be some in there.

You can get the slides here– feel free to share them with your friends!
