Where the hell is Matt?

You may well have seen this before, but if you haven't PLEASE check it out!!

A guy travels the world and instead of taking photos of himself to send home, he posts videos of himself on a travel blog, dancing (badly) in all sorts of far-flung places.
Simple and quite strange, but over time, his blog became increasingly popular.
So much so that people all over the world wanted badly to dance (badly) with Matt.

So Matt set off around the world again, keeping in touch with his followers via his blog. Letting them know where and when he'd be dancing.

On the one hand its silly, simple fun. On the other hand i've had to fight back the tears...
It somehow broadcasts a joyful message that crosses just about every language and cultural barrier. Everybody wants to be part of it.
Incredible that one man could have caused such a global endorphine rush!
I think i should go to bed now.

  1. Pete..thought for a microsecond that bad dancing and Matt meant something to do with me...but then quickly realised that I wasn't a global phenomenon. What an awesome and well travelled chap..inspirational (though I could teach him a few more moves to expand his repertoire!)
