Where the hell is Matt?

All over, apparantly.

quote:
Matt is a 29-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. He achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. 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.
I found this video funny, inspirational, and just plain neato-keen. Thought I'd share.

EDIT - changed title since no one was interested in the old one.

Hehe, with the first title I thought you were asking where someone I didn't know was [Razz]

That video is so cute. My favorites are the ones where people are dancing with him. And I love the song [Big Grin]

Yeah, I kinda figured that might be a problem with the old title.

I thought the clip of him dancing on that suspended rock was really awesome. Aparantly it sits over a 1 km chasm [Eek!]

So who TOOK all the video of him dancing everywhere? Does his travel buddy not get any credit?

All that dancing -- and doesn't look like he lost a pound the whole time..

FG

Most of the time random strangers took it for him. It's in the FAQ.

I was just thinking about posting this last night. . . how funny. [Smile]
