Um, but how did you start to decide to do that before it was really the thing to do?

Mario Del DucaGUEST
Yeah, I guess from the time we started, uh, dating New York, we, you know, we realized that we also had this passion for travel, for traveling and we started traveling, uh, together, just short haul things.

Mario Del DucaGUEST
Then when we moved to Mexico, I set up the first business was a importer and distributor of professional beauty products.

Mario Del DucaGUEST
So we put together a great business case, started working with a couple of brands in the US.

Mario Del DucaGUEST
We were sending to hotel spas and to high-end beauty salons around Mexico and eventually around the rest of Latin America.

Mario Del DucaGUEST
And we said at the beginning, okay, long-term, maybe we don't want to live in Mexico.
