When attempting to arrange a visit to Machu Picchu for his Dartmouth friends, Luis realized how unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming it was to book a trip, given the myriad of options scattered across the internet. He immediately recognized the need for a smoother, faster, and hassle-free booking experience through travel agencies. During their internship in San Francisco, Luis connected with Yamil, who brought Hans on board. Together, they joined forces. Roy, a former high schoolmate of Luis, soon joined, rounding out the Matu team.
