Founder, Mara
Chase is the founder of Mara, an AI travel planner that brings your itinerary, saved places, and vacation-package price tracking together.
Hi, I’m Chase. I built Mara because planning a trip can mean juggling tabs, scattered notes, and prices that keep changing. Mara helps you organize your days, save places you want to visit, and watch prices while your plans take shape.
Here I share what I’m building, how Mara works, and where her limits are—along with practical ways to use AI for travel planning.
