Hi all, this is Christian from North Carolina. I'm new to this forum, I've been a member of FT for about ten years where I'm mostly "active" (my post count is relatively low, I only post when I think I can contribute something useful) in the mileage run forum. I've occasionally met other flyertalkers during travel and it was always good to make connections and build trust, hopefully I can do that here, too. Most of my traveling is non-work related, and my mileage earning is a mix of actual flying with elite bonuses, CC sign-ups and some light MS. I'm fairly risk averse. My redemption goals are mostly to save money on travel we'd do anyway, keeping connected to the parts of the family that lives in Europe. I hope to become an active contributor eventually.
