After watching the new video of “Where the Hell is Matt?“, I just want to pack my camera and travel the world.

I remember the first vid he made, its cool that Stride paid for him to go around the world a couple of times, I liked that others danced with him (it was funny when they tried to do his dance.)

On the subject of travel, 3 students from my school (MIT) are spending this summer driving around the US, meeting people and seeing things they’ve never seen before. They’re documenting it with blog posts and videos on their website, thisamericansummer.org
might be something you’d like to check out :D

I just LOVE that video. I don’t know why but not only does it make me want to see the world, but it just gives me a feeling of hope watching it. It’s so weird and unique. Very emotional stuff.

That guy was at my college once… He was a video game designer before he started this whole awesome dancing business.

Interesting enough, he was inadvertently responsible for the game “Destroy All Humans” though he didn’t work on it.

A friend of mine has been doing something similar since 2004 - He said, “I’ll be back when I’m broke.” We’re still waiting :)

I was in the Chicago clip. I’m realllly hard to see though. I’m on the left side jumping in the back row. I have a jew-fro.

Matt was a really nice guy and I was a little surprised by that.

So many people say, I want to do that, I wonder how many people have actually taken that step, said, “yeah, I don’t mind going broke, because then I will at least have seen the world?” I know I would love to but lack the ambition.

If you look at the Montréal scene at 3:51 you’ll see me in the yellow jacket ;) (I’m Irish though). Matt is really cool in person. There were so many of us there, but an hour after introductions he still remembered my name! He responded to my emails afterwards too and is a real down-to-earth guy. He’s quite famous from his previous video and yet he never let it go to his head; something a lot of travellers (myself included) can learn something from.
