About the Guest - Ricky Zhang

Ricky Zhang first had the idea to start a travel blog in 2016, inspired by his growing passion for traveling the world using points and miles. After graduating and starting a corporate job with one of the Big 5 banks, Ricky felt unfulfilled, despite the stable position.

Encouraged by his then-girlfriend, now wife, he decided to pursue his passion. After months of searching, he finally landed on the name "Prince of Travel" and launched the blog. Today, Ricky has shared hundreds of stories, inspiring others to travel the world in style for less.

Prince of Travel is a team of expert travellers dedicated to educating, informing, and inspiring readers on maximizing the power of Miles & Points to travel the world at a fraction of the price.
