My Story

With over three decades in the global advertising and marketing world, I’ve flown millions of miles and attended the industry’s most influential festivals—Cannes Lions, CES, SXSW, Advertising Week, Dubai Lynx, Festival of Media, and more—not only as a visitor, but also as a host of global events. Over the years, I realized that for executives and brands, these trips are about much more than just showing up: they’re about access, connections, strategy, and results.

Through Stayappgraded (DBA SAB Travel), I design VIP travel experiences that turn every festival or business trip into a high-impact investment. I work alongside a team of VIP Travel Advisors with the ability to craft unforgettable experiences around the world, helping agencies, brands, and senior leaders move with clarity and ease: the right flights, the right hotels, the right rooms, the right agenda, and the right people at the right time. Backed by Fora’s global network, I combine insider industry knowledge with elevated travel service.

Travel Style

My travel style is intentional, executive-minded, and detail-driven. I start with the “why” behind each trip—close a deal, expand a network, inspire a team, or explore a new market—and build everything around that purpose.

From there, I create end-to-end itineraries where logistics disappear into the background: premium hotels close to the action, smart flight connections, ground transfers, curated schedules aligned with the event agenda, and reservations at restaurants that locals and industry leaders actually love. My clients travel with a plan, not a guess.

Every journey is designed to feel seamless, comfortable, and discreet—the kind of trip where everything just works, so you can stay focused on what really matters.

Very good service and a lot of good recommendations of where to eat. Due to his extensive travel experience Mauricio knows what other agents don't know.
