FOOD and FUN

FREEBIRD – this app is quite slick.  I have been using it for about a year now and have received over $100 in cold hard cash.  How?  For an evening out, as safe little humans, we should be asking someone else to do the driving.  Open the FreeBird app and select your desired restaurant/bar.  The app is linked to Uber and will show you how much the ride is (via Uber) but also how much cash back you will receive.  I will write a separate post about this but it's quite slick!  Click here to check out the app – you'll receive $10 when you take 2 rides!

RIDE SHARE

We use ride share services anytime we don't want to drive.  Sometimes during the day, other times when we go out for dinner (and a glass of wine).  They are similar but sometimes each offers different coverage in different geographical areas!  Sign up for both below.   (BTW – they are listed in alphabetical order – I use both equally!)

Lyft – notice the pink neon sign in cars around the city?   That's Lyft!

Uber – we use ride sharing services anytime we don't want to drive – sometimes during the day and other times when we are going out for dinner.   Check out Uber!

BECOME A DRIVER!    One of the most simplistic ways to generate extra income (and build your Side Hustle).  There are some amazing incentives so I recommend signing up for both services.

Lyft Driver – begin the process to register as a Lyft driver!

Uber Driver – super easy to get started!

 

TRAVEL

AirB&B – visiting a city and want a new experience?  Stay with someone.  Weird?  Not at all.  I have traveled for business (and personal) for years.  In a recent trip to San Francisco for business, the hotels were sold out so I tried my first AirB&B – and it was awesome.  The apartment I stayed in was beneath the actual owners home, they were upstairs and I was downstairs in a small little bedroom (with private bath) – so much fun!   (and doing it again soon!)   I encourage everyone to try it!
