Marcus Chen — Travel Finance Editor, MyTripMoney

Travel Finance Editor

Marcus covers the one question every trip starts with: what's this going to cost? He researches and writes MyTripMoney's destination cost breakdowns and budgeting guides — flights, lodging, food, local transport, and the hidden line items most planners miss — turning vague trip ideas into real numbers across 40+ destinations.

His focus is practical, cost-first travel planning: currency-aware budgeting, value-per-day comparisons between cities, and helping both first-time and frequent travelers avoid overspending. Every guide is built to answer "can I afford this trip, and where does the money actually go?"
