Scrolling through Instagram, one usually finds a flurry of travel porn and influencers who seem to have the picture-perfect life, seemingly traveling every week to some incredible international destination. But how does a normal, everyday person get the same experience?

Today we are announcing TPG Guest Pass where we team up with celebrities and influencers to show you how to recreate their trips using points and miles.

Once a month, TPG will partner with celebrities, athletes, photographers and bloggers — with the hope that you can get some serious "tripspiration' to plan out your next vacation on points.

Our first contributor will be Josh Peck. Yes, the Josh from the famous Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh. Since then, Peck's done work in voice acting, including in the Ice Age movies, and he's starred in films like Mean Creek, the Wackness and Red Dawn. He's got a hilarious YouTube channel and his Instagram game is on point too.

Peck is headed to Mexico this weekend, where he and his wife Paige will explore Cancun and stay at The Ritz-Carlton, which they booked by transferring SPG points to Marriott. You can be sure that his trip will provide for some amusing stories, which will be shared on both his (@shuapeck) and TPG's social platforms — look out for a full recap on ThePointsGuy.com as well.
