In May, I met YouTubers Dave Erasmus and Louis Cole in Delhi. They were on their third stop on a fast-paced world tour called Solvey, to find entrepreneurial individuals, interested in giving back and solving problems in their home countries.
Erasmus, a serial entrepreneur, and Cole, a travel vlogger on YouTube with a massive global fan following, hit 8 cities in 30 days. Two months later, I spoke to Erasmus, now back home in England, to see what the results were of that mega trip.
“I’ve finally recovered from my travels. Today, I woke up with a spring in my step,” he says, laughing.
That’s one month after their whirlwind tour ended. While it may have been ruthless on their bodies, it did yield the results they were hoping for: 145 people applied from around world and that too across generations (ages 12 to 67). Plus, the vlogs garnered over 3 million views on YouTube.
