HELLO AND WELCOME TO MARIA POINTS THE WAY!
Hey there! I’m Maria, your go-to miles and points writer, strategist, coach, and speaker. Currently calling culturally rich and vibrant San Francisco home, I also contribute to the largest Taiwanese-American award travel Community of North America – TripPlus.
Explore my online hub, Maria Points The Way, for everything cool – from tips on award travels and user-friendly points and miles tutorials to credit card suggestions and honest reviews of hotels and airlines. I also share family-oriented strategies and experiences – my unique expertise. As a native Hongkonger, my connection with the Asia Pacific offers you a broader perspective with exclusive insider insights on destinations, carriers, accommodation, and even cultures.
My mission? Helping ‘self-defined’ families make their travel dreams purposeful using miles and points, credit card strategies. Drawing inspiration from my own award travel stories with my family of 4, I’m here to gently nudge you towards embracing experiences beyond your comfort zone, especially in Asia & Oceania. Let’s make those travel dreams a reality! ✈️🌍✨
WHERE TO START?
Whether you’re stretching every dollar or planning your first family trip with points + miles, don’t miss out on golden opportunities. Start using these tools now and take action – all in one place!
