Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the Smart Travel podcast?
Hi there, I'm Megan Coyle. And I'm Sally French. Welcome to Smart Travel, where we help you make your travel budget work smarter because who doesn't love more trips for less money?
Chapter 2: How can I save money on travel?
Exactly. On this show, we don't just hand out travel advice, we break it down. Want to know if that fancy airline credit card is worth it? Curious whether it's better to book direct or through a third-party site? We've done the research and crunched the numbers to give you the information you need to decide what's right for you.
Chapter 3: What can I expect from new episodes of Smart Travel?
Chapter 4: What are the benefits of using Amazfit for travel planning?
Today's episode is sponsored by Amazfit. I've been wearing the Amazfit Active 2, and it's basically like having a personal assistant for my health. Except it doesn't judge me for hitting snooze three times. It's also a game changer for fitness. It combines AI-driven coaching, smart tracking, and premium features without the premium price.
Unlike other wearables, Amazfit goes beyond basic fitness tracking. It has specialized modes like High Rocks Race Mode, Smart Strength Training, and even Free Diving, built for both everyday users and elite athletes. And with AI-driven coaching, it adapts to your workouts, tracks recovery, and helps you train smarter.
There's also a free ZEPP app you can pair it with to get in-depth analytics and downloadable maps you can use with turn-by-turn directions. And it has Zepflow AI voice control, so you can check stats hands-free. And don't worry about battery life. The Amazfit Active 2 runs up to 10 days on a single charge.
