We hope everyone had a great holiday season and New Year!

As we look upon the new year, we’re filling our calendars and to-do lists with goals big and small that we’ve set for ourselves. Whether it’s being more healthy or learning something new, don’t forget to also appreciate the things in life that make you happy. Studies show that being happy broadens thought processes and facilitates creative thinking. The joys and inspirations we find every day in surrounding ourselves with beautiful interfaces, spending more time with loved ones, and treating ourselves to fun experiences can make all the difference.

This year has been a big one for us at Vayable. We launched to the world in April and made a lot of friends along the way. We noshed on food carts in New York City, created a meal with fresh, local ingredients in San Francisco, learned about sustainable agriculture in Costa Rica, and explored the other side of our own hometown. Our inspiring guides have been able to make their own dents in the universe, from creating community murals enjoyed by everyone to getting a step closer to quitting their day jobs, thanks to your booking their experiences.

2011 was a year of new beginnings, and we have big plans for 2012. Thank you for following us and supporting us in our vision for a better world. Stay tuned for great things to come!
