Hi there!

I’m Lyn Mettler—travel journalist, author, graduate student at the University of Notre Dame and founder of the Secrets of a Travel Journalist Club and Families Fly Free (now included in the Club), which has helped more than 1,000 families travel for a fraction of the cost using my simple, proven system.
