So why did I call my business Mando Travel?

It's VERY hard to come up with a unique name that is interesting and that you can get the URL in a "Dot com" format. I tried quite a few names and they were all taken. Honestly the name was probably the single hardest thing about setting up the business.

Ultimately Mando is a play on my name: Mark ANDersOn. Some friends call me Mando and it has a nice ring to it (I think). Mando also evokes Monde in French and Mundo in Spanish both meaning world. It also evokes strength which is something I needed to start my own business. Mando also is short for Mandolin which is just a fun side note.

So in the end it felt "me" and while I wasn't sure at first it's definitely grown on me.

As a cool side note my cousin Jack, who's a senior in high school created the logo and branding. Pretty cool, right!
