ABOUT
Who am I?
I’m Mahazomanana Christophe from the beautiful island Madagascar. Passionate about travel, Customer Relations, and Digital Marketing, I created this blog to simplify your travel planning. With insights from my hospitality experience, I provide tips and resources to help you enjoy your journey stress-free.
I earned my MBA in 2015 from China University of Geosciences and have since held various positions, including Sales Representative, Business Developer, Operation Manager, and Customer Service Representative, both locally and remotely. My passion for Digital Marketing, Inbound Marketing, and SEO (On-page, Technical, and Quality Link Building) is among of the reason that lead me to create this travel blog, where I combine my professional expertise with my love for exploring new destinations. Through this platform, I aim to provide not only travel inspiration and tips but also insights into how businesses in the travel industry can enhance their digital presence.
The purpose of this blog
The recurring travel dilemma
At first, I joined the world of short-term rental hospitality as a V.A. It was a fascinating opportunity as I got to support CEOs and entrepreneurs who were committed to improving the guest’s experience. From behind the scenes, I learned how much the right type of accommodation contributes to a traveler’s overall experience. Whether it skiing in the Alps, sunbathing on a sunny beach, or visiting some city, one thing was evident: the accommodation can enhance or ruin the entire trip. There is nothing worse than the whole excitement of travel being spoiled by one’s lodging experience. Quite a number of times, I witnessed this.
Working with a growing clientele of travelers, I noticed the same patterns emerging whether it was an executive on a business trip or busy families, everyone went out looking for the ideal location, only to return disappointed. What should have been an enthralling moment, selecting a comfortable bed to rest in after a day filled with excitement, more often than not degenerated into an exhausting affair. A large number of options without quality assurances led to information overload and later confusion, only to end in dejection. I noticed it in their eyes, I experienced it in their ears. The joy was fading, and I couldn’t help but feel like something needed to change.
The inspiration behind this blog
During such a moment, while watching these travelers make their decisions at hand, an idea came to me. Why not assist them even before they arrive at the airport or get into the car? Why couldn’t I be their perspective, allowing them to concentrate on the most enjoyable aspects of travel without worrying about the particulars? That’s how the idea of writing this blog came into my mind, where I can post tips, experiences, and basic knowledge on a number of topics.
The necessary but unbearable parts of travel like finding reasonably priced flights, strategically planning holidays, picking hotels or coming up with schedules are all factors that I wanted to make fun or at least less tedious. Travel should be more fun than worrying about how to plan for the trip. I have observed and worked in the hospitality business and so I knew I can provide something important. Provide guides to deal with the chaos of planning and allow all visitors to enjoy the experience of traveling. This blog was basically created in order to serve that purpose, to serve that need, for every person having the desire to travel disregarding the complications involved in organizing.
Your trusted travel companion
Is this a blog with tips and secrets only? No! It is more than that. It’s your friend, a trusted friend who knows the hassles of travel and knows how to deal with them. Be it a vacation home with family, a therapeutic stay away from all tourist hotspots or even a cheap rental appartement, I will make sure you have the right options to choose from.
So, I am aware of the frustration and the emotional drain of having to deal with so many options when they are all somewhat promising. My purpose is to take that hassle away from you and let you creating unforgettable moments. Finding the information can be cumbersome, yes, but planning doesn’t have to be. It can, in fact, be a part of the anticipation that precedes the trip.
This is also the reason why this particular blog was created. I have per say made one shift myself which is an encouragement to others to make a similar shift. Start planning your first or next trip when it calls for action. No journey is too prohibitive, and I shall be there to help achieve the goals starting with the planning process. Step by step, we will make every trip resp fantasie.
