Zac George first discovered travel points while he was in science class at school at the age of 14.
"I came across a video of Ben Schlappig (the air travel blogger) and I become obsessed with this currency that I hadn’t ever known about," the 17-year-old told Business Insider.
"From then on, I’d read Ben’s blog One Mile At a Time and just research about points every chance I had, often in class resulting in a few detentions."
At the time, George was working at McDonald's. Now he runs a blog and Instagram account of his own, Points from the Pacific, where he reviews first and business class flights and his experiences in luxury travel — all of which he gets for free.
So how did this youngster find his glamorous career path? Scroll down to see how a 17-year-old turned a job at McDonald's into the high-flying career of a luxury travel blogger.
This is Zac George, the 17-year-old travel blogger from Brisbane, Australia who has made a career out of flying first class for free.
He told Business Insider that he took his first international flight at the age of two. "I was lucky to start travelling young due to my parents owning their own medical company," he said. "I would be brought along to various destinations around the world while my parents would attend conferences."

At first, he said his travel was funded by "doing chores and various jobs around the house."
"As soon as I was old enough, I got a job at McDonald's," he said. "This helped me fund my domestic flying while I was still in school and it kept me quite happy."
