Is a $18,500 trip to French Polynesia worth it?

Capricia Alston is a seasoned traveler. She has been to 40 countries, and says she has a ton of great hacks for traveling on a budget. "Traveling is pretty much my everything," Alston says. "I think I wake up in the morning and look for travel deals." In August of 2021, Capricia and her boyfriend Kim decided to splurge on a dream vacation in French Polynesia. Unfortunately, covid-19 restrictions presented challenges for the couple, but they still found ways to get the most out of their three-island trip.
