Where the hell is Matt?

OK, at the beginning of this video, I thought this was just some really good video editing, but it’s not.
From Where the Hell is Matt? -
In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he’d saved to wander around the planet until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.
A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as “That guy who dances on the internet.No, not that guy. The other one.No, not him either. I’ll send you the link. It’s funny.”
The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride long-lasting gum. They asked Matt if he’d be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they’d be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
At the start of 2006, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.
Matt dances very badly, but most people don’t seem to mind.
Lucky bastard! I’d even be willing to dance (very) badly on camera if I got to go on a trip like that! :sigh:

Good for him. Do it while you’re young and have no responsibilities. They come soon enough.

The video is great. I agree with raz0r that now is the time in his life to travel like he did. My job is about to be gone (economic problems with the company) and it would be cool to travel like that. Wish I could find a sponsor. I would go in a heartbeat. I loved travelling in Europe.
Visit his site and learn more about the travails of travelling like he did.
