Independent uVme Associate Dan Welstead is off on his “gap year” travels around the world… building his uVme team as he goes.

In some ways it is a bad time for him to go (he will miss the launch etc.), but in others it may be good for him, as he can recruit people to his team from all around the world!

Dan and his partner Fiona took some uVme t-shirts and “foam hands” with them on their travels, and they will be sending reports from the field as well as photos of the foam hands (like the one above) back to uVme as they go. Dan also has his own travel blog where he is keeping a diary of his trip, and a Facebook profile where he is keeping extra foam hand photos!

Dan and Fiona started out in started out in Sevenoaks, Kent (UK) and their first port of call was California, USA (where the photo above was taken - in San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background). They are now travelling around Australia, and over the next year their travels will take them far and wide, to many different countries.

Dan says, “I have talked to a good number of people about uVme, as I always wear a uVme t-shirt every day and have a few pocket pitches with me… I have got over 2,600 in my team now!“
