That was lovely. Thanks.
I did market research on people who take trips like this. It usually not really about money it's about a lack of fear. It doesn't cost that much to back pack it around the world.
There's a company in the USA that specializes in the particular type of airfare needed for trips like this. Check it out at www.airtreks.com
There is no better ambassador. That video makes me cry from happiness everytime I see it.
Thanks Matt!
this video ought to be on it.
It appears I'm the only one for whom this was induced. Maybe it was the one-size-fits-all "global music", or the sloppy whiteboy flopping (or both), but I feel like I just got out of Disneyland's Small World ride. Remind me why this bland kid should be my "ambassador to the world"?
If Keith Haring's radiant baby grew up and danced out into the world, he would be this guy. Delighted, and delightful, and totally un-self-conscious. Lovely.
Remind me why this bland kid should be my "ambassador to the world"?
Oh, he definitely shouldn't be your ambassador to the world, as an ambassador should accurately represent the people whose emissary he is. For you, I suggest Nathan Thurm.
If you think the original Matt Harding video is inspiring, you should watch this interview with him. It makes me want to leave my cubicle right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFtTSisZtVY
