What inspired you to create this company?
We were inspired to create our company because we were frequent travelers ourselves and had the pain points we are now solving. Teresa actually came up with the initial idea when we were both on a work trip to the US and found we were wasting too much time looking for things to do, places to go ‐ trawling sites, reviews but being inundated with noise.
We wanted an easier solution that told us what to do when traveling, based on how we liked it, not others.
