Travel More, Travel Better, Travel for Less
Travel isn't just about where you go. It's about how it transforms you. And everyone deserves the chance to explore, discover, and create unforgettable memories—no matter their budget or experience level. My goal is to help travelers of all experience levels make their travel dreams a reality by learning to maximize airline miles, hotel points, and credit card rewards.
Meet Max
Growing up, my parents brought me to Vietnam every year. This is where my love for travel started. After college, I knew I wanted to travel more. I discovered the world of miles and points and studied everything I could.
I went from paying to fly economy to traveling the world in first class and staying in luxury hotels, for a fraction of the cost.
In 2019, I took an incredible trip around the world, flying business class from San Diego to Montreal, Paris, Venice, Milan, Santorini, Dubai, Osaka, and Seoul—staying in luxury hotels the entire way. It was an unforgettable experience (even more because I proposed to my now-wife!)
When we returned home, I felt inspired to share how others could create similar journeys. With my background in graphics and design, I saw an opportunity to simplify miles and points strategies visually. I created Max Miles Points to show that amazing travel opportunities don't have to be out of reach.
