Ten Years in Ten minutes WOW, time flies. What a journey so far! We've learned so much in 10 years, especially that enduring problems like the Digital Divide require enduring solutions and partnerships. We celebrate the end of a year by looking back at an entire decade. A huge thank you goes out to our amazing team & partners! Matt Dalio, the founder of Endless, takes a look at the past year in our recent blog post.

London, UK The European team met up in the heart of London near the river Thames. Their day started at Somerset house, where they all thoroughly enjoyed attempting to ice skate, some much better than others. They continued their journey through the center of London to Covent Garden market, to explore a multitude of the shops and get some last minute Christmas shopping in. After our eventful sightseeing, we headed to Wagamamas for a delicious lunch where we connected with Simon, after his mishaps traveling from Germany. We made our way to the local X and Y office location, where we enjoyed coffee, hot chocolates, card games, replacing Rob's laptop battery, and attended the team call with everyone globally!
The European team finished up the day with some amazing Mexican food and drinks at Wahaca’s, accompanied by great stories and conversations from the entire team! |

Washington, D.C Our East Coast region met in Washington DC to enjoy sightseeing at the Nation's Capital. We started off with dinner at Nina May, in the Shaw neighborhood of DC, getting to know each other. For most of us, this was our first time meeting in person! The next day, after a group breakfast and the All Team Call, we headed out to the local museums, starting off with the National Portrait Gallery in Chinatown, enjoying lunch at The Smith and strolling over to the Air & Space Museum for their must have souvenirs which randomly included chocolate! As we meandered towards our second museum we stumbled across the Downtown Holiday Market in Penn Quarter and shopped for a few fun holiday items, coffee-scented candles anyone? #TooManyFreeMuseumsNotEnoughTime |

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Our Brazil team spent most of their time together cooking, eating, talking and spending some well needed rest time in the heart of nature. Renato so kindly welcomed everybody into his home, and provided some amazing vegan food from his own vegetable garden. They also enjoyed an Italian meal surrounded by nature and wonderful hospitality. A well needed mindful rest, full of food, drinks, nature and the invisible heroes of the trip, Renato's welcoming dogs! |

Taipei, Taiwan The Taipei team began their celebrations with a delicious meal at Le Blanc restaurant. Next, they headed over to the VIVELAND virtual reality game studio nestled within the high tech Guang Hua electronics district, where a horde of zombies was successfully eliminated, a rebellion in ancient China was completed, and finally, the passage of time was manipulated in a Prince of Persia virtual escape game. The team made their final stop at the newly opened 不老松 reflexology foot massage parlour, a relaxing and replenishing experience at the end of a lively and unforgettable day. |

Denver, Colorado A handful of us from North America met up in Denver, CO. We met at a great little taco restaurant called Mister Oso in the River North art district (RiNo), then explored RiNo for a bit before settling on Zeppelin Station to socialize over some drinks. The following day we met up for coffee and the all-team call at Stella's Coffee House, then headed downtown to pull off a casino heist—a themed escape room, that is! After finishing with only 48 seconds to spare (whew!), we walked 16th Street Mall to explore the city some more, ending at Union Station for noodles, soup, and dumplings at Zoe Ma Ma, then ice cream at Milkbox. It was a fun-filled couple of days with a lot of good food and exploring of Denver. |
