Wait, why are you moving to Chile?

It has been about a year since the fateful night Ray and I first talked about Wolo at a friend's Vegas bachelor party.  That night ended pretty blurry for Ray (a great story for another time about a super-star DJ and some misplaced cake), but our vision is still as clear as ever.

We are very excited to (finally) share our journey, and even though we're a little late, we figured it would be best to start from the beginning.  We promise to update often so that you can catch up quickly or binge like your favorite shows on Netflix.

To take a step back, I suppose we unknowingly caught the Wolo bug during a last minute backpacking trip to Costa Rica that was inspired by the arrival of our first credit cards (dangerous beginning, we know :)  Ray and I were juniors in college at the time, and over the course of the last 10 years, our bucket lists have only grown bigger and badder, despite checking off some awesome things along the way.

For those of you who are hearing about our project for the first time, the realization that inspired us was the same as the mindset we had been living by for the past 10 years - Money is better spent on enriching life with experiences, and all experiences are more enjoyable when shared with friends.  

The idea had been right in front of our faces all along!  Let's create a platform where people can go to be inspired by, and connect with, other like minded people who share the same passions in life.

Fast forward a few months later when Ray and I met again at the wedding of our friend whose fateful bachelor party got the Wolo train moving (thanks Bao & Jackie!), and our plan started to take form,

After a few whiskeys, I popped the big question, "Ray, what do you think about applying for an incubator in Santiago?"

To which Ray of course responded, "Santiago?  As in Chile?  F**K yeah dude, let's do it!"
