Can’t freaking believe it 🤯
Today we launched the world’s first agentic AI travel protocol.
A few months ago, if someone told me I’d become an expert in AI agents, MCPs, M2M payments, and how autonomous systems communicate with each other, I probably wouldn’t have believed them.
Yet here we are.
I’ve been working in crypto and traveling full-time for the past 4 years, so getting to help build infrastructure for AI-driven travel bookings feels especially exciting.
Travel is something millions of people do every day, yet the booking experience is still surprisingly manual -
Search. Compare. Open 20 tabs. Fill out forms.
Now we’re moving toward a world where AI agents can search, book, and pay on your behalf!
Watching AI evolve from answering questions to actually taking actions in the real world has been fascinating.
And getting to be part of building that future is even cooler 😎
It is going to be very interesting!
The era of manual booking is over.
Introducing the Travala Travel MCP: the first agentic AI travel protocol.

Can’t believe it! Travala is 9 years old already 😍
I’ve been here for almost 4 years: the most amazing years of my life!
My job is to promote the freedom to travel with crypto, even without banks.
That really resonates with my values!

Just a reminder about something I said a few years back: “addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.” “Enlightenment (for lack of a better term) is a progressive expansion of what brings your pleasure.”
Are you addicted to something? If so, what?

I was riding home in Bali, thinking I should probably get gas. I filled the bike 2 weeks ago and have been riding around on that same tank ever since 😂
But the little petrol stand near my house you know, the one with the glass cylinder was out of petrol
Welp 🫠
@elonmusk Try buying a sim card in India as a tourist, they ask a person who's already inside India to vouch for you, ask your proof of address and tons of other unnecessary information. The worst customer experience I've ever had!
Singapore’s GDP per capita is ~18× Indonesia’s. What does that have to do with pollution?
When you’re struggling to pay for food, protecting nature slips down the priority list.
How to make the green choice affordable for everyone?
Singapore’s pollution sent me down a rabbit hole. I knew SG economy was strong, but didn’t realise how strong.
Indonesia has 47× as many people, yet Singapore produces 39% of Indonesia’s GDP.
A tiny country with an enormous economic footprint 🤯
