He joined Washingtonian magazine as a senior writer and columnist (1984-1993) before becoming Washington, DC, bureau chief for SPY magazine. Maxa became a consumer travel commentator for the public radio business show "Marketplace" in 1991, which led to a one-hour, national travel radio show on public radio called "The Savvy Traveler" that Maxa co-created and hosted for four years before launching a television travel series on public television in the US in 2001.
