More About Pay Me in Plane Tickets podcast
Pay Me in Plane Tickets is a podcast discussing all things travel with individuals who love to explore all parts of the world, experience all cultures and people, and would rather be paid in plane tickets.

Erected in 2022, this media venture continues as it aims to honor the adventurer who chose the path less traveled. Travelers from all walks of life share their stories of exploration, discovery, and self-transformation. Each episode is a unique and inspiring journey, as we delve into the lives of our guests and learn about the places they've been, the people they've met, and the lessons they've learned along the way. 

Departing from Cape Town in 2022, Jelanie Millard was, and still is, amazed at how individuals from various backgrounds are traversing this vast globe ever so frequently. Such to the point that they are seemingly being paid in plane tickets (pun intended). 'So how are they doing it?' - was the essential thesis of this venture. Thus, the podcast was born in which we explore a plethora of individuals who shed a light onto the actions as to how their travels are being achieved. From the corporate heights of a hospitality chief executive to the most followed travel influencer, what was - - and continues being discovered - is that it is not all blue water and clear skies but rather hustle and perseverance. Executed with a love for what they do and why they do what they do. This platform honors them. It's easier to criticize than to create. Jelani chooses to create.
