Where the hell is Matt?

Another piece of YouTube. This time in english.
(to polish friends - Come on, you CAN understand this!)
(to everybody - If this post looks too long you could read it few times, piece after piece. I'll be glad xD)
OK, let's start:

If you are watching YouTube offen, you could know this guy below. But if you don't, just watch.

Interesting, isn't it? Yep, it's even impressive. Many folks thinks it's fake or just joke (at least in few clips). I say 'No' - cause I belive in this guy.

He's name is Matt Harding.
_'Matt is a 30-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.
_'A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."
_'The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride long-lasting gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
_'At the end of 2005, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.
_'Matt dances very badly, but most people don't seem to mind.
_'Matt is not rich. Matt also doesn't have some magical secret for traveling cheaply. He does it pretty much the same way everybody else does. [...]
_'Matt was a very poor student and never went to college. When he got older, he was pleased to discover that no one actually cares. Matt doesn't want to imply that college is bad or anything. He's just saying is all. There's other ways to fill your head.
_'Matt currently lives in Seattle, Washington, where he still works in videogames from time to time as a writer and designer. Matt recognizes that this is not the worst job in the world, but he prefers traveling.'

Text above is copied from his webside: Where the hell is Matt?
If you want to know more about him and his travels I recommend his blog (expecially About Matt and FAQ). He seems to be 'laid back' person.

And this is an interview with him (one of many interviews - he is pretty known now). Is quite long, but it's worthy to watch, I think xD

Ok, you lazy scums, if you're not so bored and you did't stop to read this at this step, I'm really impressed ;P
Please watch one more video, the funnier one:

This is almost the end.
I added link to Matt's webpage on right side.
Also I recommend one more video: Where the hell WAS Matt?
Thank you for reading. Maybe you'll leave some comment? C'Ya next time.

P.S.: My next post will be about YouTube Awards... Interesting - Matt's video almost won in 'Most Creative Video' category.
P.P.S.: Sorry, if I made some mistakes in english. I did't checked this text. It was just flow xD
