Many comments here focus on this being a bad idea because 'who wants to fund somebody elses travel', but as the blog post states, they had revenue and brands were interested in partnering. They didn't find a workable model, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

Thanks for the comment. I've met a lot of skeptics during this 2 years, but the model did work (not at a big scale though), and there is still a big room to tweak it and find a better combination. We had a lot of ideas in our heads on what we need to try to find the winner, but didn't have enough time and resources. We also focused on a lot of wrong things. Big lessons learned.

Love & Light!
