So my plan is, like every year, to pack my bag and go somewhere in the world to work for some months.
Since I work with web travelling is never a problem, my office is not bigger then my MacBook Air 11 and my iPhone, and the only thing I need other then that is a café and wifi.

So then the question is – where?
And this is the problem that Owegoo are trying to solve.
‘Cause I have no clue on where I want to go this winter, but I know what I need and want on the place where I end up.

This is my list of the stuff I need want.

• I want to go somewhere where it’s warm, perfect would be around 30 degrees C.
• It needs to be cheeper to live there then it is in Sweden, so cheap that when splitting the cost over the months my livingcost should be so low that the price of the flighttickets didn’t become an extra cost.
• I like big cities and good food.
• I want to be able to walk around alone and feel safe.
• Of course good infrastructure is a must since I’m gonna work there, but that can mean some cafés with good wifi or the possibility to buy cheap prepaid-simcards.
• Also it would be nice to be in a country where I can communicate with the people living there, so english or spanish.
• If would be awsome if it’s close to the sea.

Soon Owegoo is ready to be release, but until then I guess I have to continue googeling around to try to find places that fit my whishlist and then compare prices myself, having 20 windows open just to compare flighttickets to different destinations and with different companies.

But I promise you, I need Owegoo too much to let it take much longer!

Do you dream, when life is slow,
about the big city’s pulse, people surrouding you,
red trafic lights, the energy in the clubs?

Do you dream, when life is just mondays,
about an adventure, views you’ve never seen,
people you’ve never met, getting lost and finding new ways?

Do you dream, when you love someone,
about creating a memory, something non of you know,
the beginning of something new?

When travel is not about a place, but about a feeling,
an experience.
A longing for something, not somewhere.
Then your are at the beginning of a story, at the beginning of the journey.

This is also the reasons why we love Pinterest so much.
We get to share what inspires us with you.
We get to pass on other peoples memories, inspiration and dreams.
Follow us and we’ll follow you back and we can start inspire each other!

What we see we keep as memories in our heart and we share them to keep them alive and to give them away as small presents of inspiration to our friends.
We remind them of places they have been or take them to places they didn’t even know existed.

One memory I hope you yourself get to experience one day is seeing a hot air balloon lift at dawn and drift away over the Savannah.

Getting involved early in the trip gives you a chance to be involved in creating the vision, steer it in the right direction and be a part of making it become real.

Being involved in the project gives you a better chance of getting hired when we hire our first employees. But being a part of a startup also means that some things are unwritten, undefined and perhaps more risky – we’re looking for people who are not intimidated by this, but challenged and inspired by the adventure and the opportunities.

Our team is spread over the world, we’re working from Sweden, Cyprus and Australia and are therefor location-independent, where you are is not important.
Except for our meetings we work independently and it is therefore important that you are driven and self-sustaining.
Giving you that freedom also means that we expect you are responsible and really want to help us creating an awesome site!

We believe it’s importent to feel like you’re a part of the team and you will be involved to shaping both your own role and the project as a whole.

Many innovations and ideas are born out of problems and frustration.
So was Owegoo.

When we tried to make those dreams about going somewhere come true we would spend hours in front of the computer of searching for tickets.
Hours of trying to be an expert to find the best, the cheapest, the most convenient.
Hours of getting more and more confused, dizzy and tired.

Many times we didn’t even know what our alternatives were – we didn’t care where that sunny place was, if we went to Paris or Madrid to shop, or where we could go skiing – the dream wasn’t about a specific place but about something we wanted to experience.
Those times we had to be experts, experts in how to find the best tickets, and in how to figure out where in the world we could find what we were looking for.

This is was our problem, and maybe, probably, yours.
Owegoo is our way of trying to make it easier for all of us – make it possible to find ways to find tickets to places as we dream about them.
Without knowing where you want to go, just knowing want you long for.

Owegoo is what we ourselves need.
That’s the beginning, that’s why we started it, and we hope we can make life a bit easier for you too!
