Where the Hell is Matt?

So this guy, Matt Harding.  I've been a huge fan forever, since before I graduated college.  I've been watching him grow and expand his selection of Youtube videos for a long time.  Every time I'm feeling a little low or frustrated or aimless I watch his videos and feel so much better.  They're not particularly funny but they inspire me.  I love this guy for his drive.  I've watched his documentaries and interviews and have come to admire him not only for his travels but for the fact that he never gives up.  I like his spunk.

Anyway, he's got four.  The first video below is his first.  He moved to Australia from Seattle, WA to work at a video game company that then went under.  Instead of returning home, he took his money and traveled.  This was made in 2005.  He'd never gone that far before, and got hooked.  He started by taking photos of himself acting silly wherever he was at, and he'd post them on his blog.  After awhile, he graduated to video, and started dancing... Knowing that he couldn't dance, and was awful at it.  It got laughs from his family and friends.  Before labeling the places in his videos, he'd get the understandable question:  "Where the hell is Matt?"


Things just sort of developed from there...




This next video was his second, made in 2006.  He continued his travels.



This is the third video, filmed in 2008.  Matt decided to change it up a bit.  :)




And finally, his most recent, made last year in 2012 and an extension of his prior three.  I don't even know how many countries he's been to now but I'm excited to try and catch up!  I love that he's not afraid to go anywhere!  

 


It's fun for me to see places I've been on his list.  If you would like to be on his contact list in case he comes to your area, please go to www.wherethehellismatt.com!
