“In the vibrant spring of 2014, Mathew and Zak crossed paths at a local coffee shop called ‘The Cup’ in a small town in rural Indiana. After a three hour long first date, it was time to say our goodbyes until we met again. After a few dates go, we decided to jump at the opportunity to travel to the other side of the country together, which some might have said was too soon, but boy were they wrong on that one. United by their shared love for nature and wanderlust, they embarked on a transformative backpacking journey through the romantic landscapes of Europe—each cobblestone street in Paris, each Venetian canal, and each Spanish sunset deepening their love and commitment to one another. Fueled by their shared dreams and aspirations, they took a courageous leap of faith, co-founding a vacation rental management startup that married their passions for travel and community. The enterprise flourished, much like their love, which remained the cornerstone of their lives. As years turned into nearly a decade, they never looked back, finding in each other a love that was as enduring as the ancient European landmarks they’d explored and as innovative as the business they’d built from scratch.”
