For eola - a young start-up working with travel and leisure businesses - 2020 has been a monumental challenge but also a year of great growth.

This past year has been one of many challenges and hardships. It has also represented a truly groundbreaking time of togetherness and community.

Wherever I have looked, I have seen great compassion as the world has come together to fight overwhelming circumstances.

Though we start 2021 still in the middle of this outbreak, for the first time it feels like the end is in sight. We can see a world where the COVID-19 pandemic is brought under control, and life can begin to return to something like normal.

This will not be the same normal as before, but a new era that will look very different to most of us. It is our belief that we together can create a better, more empathetic world; connecting people in new ways and empowering more people to live the lives they wish to lead. With a bit of luck we hope to get more people outdoors experiencing wonderful new adventures.
