Double-check my trip
Hi Mario — I’d like you to double-check a trip I’ve already booked. I’m forwarding you the confirmation emails separately, so you can see the rate types, what’s refundable and how I paid.

Why use a travel advisor
In the economics of travel, every booking comes with an acquisition cost to the operator, and every channel carries a different one. OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia cost operators the most. Travel advisors cost much less, which is why operators tend to prefer customers they acquired through travel advisors over OTAs and prioritize them higher for limited perks like upgrades and late checkouts. When you book direct, you signal that the operator has already won your business. There’s no threat to you going somewhere else.

About
I’m a marketer by trade. My entire professional mission is rooted in consumer preferences and behavior. I was raised a dual-culture kid, having immigrated from Taipei to the US at the age of 8 and recently welcomed my own child back in Taipei. I speak multiple languages and code switching comes naturally to me. What this has taught me is people become relatable to you once you understand the context they came from. Don’t daydream about someone else’s trip. Let me plan the right trip for you.
Client reviews
What clients say about working with me.
Excellent communication, access to better options/rates, and always thinking of my family during our trip. Thanks Mario!We had a wonderful experience working with Mario to plan our trip. He mainly helped us arrange our hotels and provided thoughtful recommendations for our sightseeing itinerary…Mario was wonderful to work with—very patient and flexible whenever we asked for changes, and kindly held the reservation for us while we finalized our plans.How to work with me
