New York, NY
It's Done

Here is a place to leave comments about the dancing video.

Be gentle.

And yes, the site is a bit disheveled at the moment. It will get increasingly sheveled in the coming days. We are sheveling as fast as we can.

By "we," I'm referring to the kind, generous, and Canadian typealice, who is rebuilding my site with her bare hands from the island of Tortola.

...umm, a wee update from several months later. About a thousand comments got misplaced in the midst of some blog maintenance; everything from the release of the video on June 21st to mid-August. You would have seen them below, but now they're gone. Sorry about that. Feel free to replenish the supply.

In summary, folks seemed to like the video. So that's nice.

Comments

Your site looks great and the new video really makes one think. My dad found it and it made our day... heck it made our week. I put the video up on myspace hoping it would have the same affect on my friends. Don't stop making dance videos, they always bring joy and never get old. Thanks-
From,
Zach

Hey! What do ya have against Canada?! ;)

Hello Matt
Just love the site and the video. It is really great!

I wanna be you when I grow up. And I'm 23.

Matt I love to travel arround the world. You really made me happy with your videos.
Congratulations a lot!

If you want, you can dance in Guadalajara, Jalisco. México. My city

A big hug and plaese keep in touch, Amigo!

Hey,

i think what you have done is amazing and you have not only showed people whats out there, but you have educated many at the same time.

I think i'm going to make a similar video in your honour. =)

*thumbsup*

Hey Matt, sweet job bro... You gave me something I will never forget..that video is more than inspiring..

Matts right here baby

hi matt

i like your video very much :)
but in germany there's a better city than berlin : COLOGNE

cada vez que veo el video me emociono demasiado... Es un video escalofriante... Esto es imposible de igualar, gracias Matt, no tengo mas que decirte por tan bello video... Ojalá pueda conocer siquiera 1/20 de lo que conoces vos...

This is amazing. You're basically my new favorite person. I can't wait for another dancing video. This one made me want to travel even more! Its so inspiring, even if you didn't mean for it to be!

Hei, Matt,
come to my home. I am brazilian and I living in Brasiliam the capital, near from the Chapada Dos Veadeiros and Pantanal.

why don't you go to Korea!!!

you are a very lucky guy. I wish you the best.

you are crazy!!! but a lucky guy... go in africa for winter, to see flying white shark hunting seals... see ya in italy agani...

just thought I would add on to the thread, why do you hate everycountry you didn't get to visit? ugh makes me sick :) Keep on rocking

That was awesome, but why didn't you dance in Canada???

The video was great... love the scenery. But where's Canada?

What an excellent way to journal your holidays...
Keep on rocking Matt!
Cheers

Love reading your journals. Wish I could travel and explore our world. Reading your journals helps me to do that, just as if I am there.

Wicked Cool!

MATT lol an inspiration u really are the pure randomness of the dancing around the world inspires me to do the same whether is for lack of ne thing to do or just to live up to your name you've set the bar pretty high but im determined to reach my goal hope to see more of you very soon.

sincerly,
josh-age 15

wellcome is brazil
venha fazer sua danca no brasil

Hi Matt, what making these seems to me to be worthy of admiration, I you envy boy all these countries, all these people, all these dances ... he is still a boy like that(this way) your these doing what we want to do many, since says Sinatra .. to live through the life to my way...
I wait to meet to dance soon in my city bilbao in spain mas known by his her museum Guggenheim visit this land that is very nice and the very cozy(hospitable) people surely that you are not upset with, continue this way and 10 for you!

I'm so sad you haven't come to dance in Canada... on our beautiful ocean shores in the summer, or at the heights of our Rocky Mountains in the winter or to kick through the brilliant colours of leaves in the fall. Please come dance in the most beautiful country in the world with the most beautiful people in the world! Viva Canada!

woow nice :D but it would be cool if u came to Sweden, Skåne and made ur dance here to.! awsome work. keep up the good working :D

Matt,

Awesome video !!! The music is great and the scenery is incredible. I think you have started a dance craze.

Austin

increible

haber si la proxima te pasas por españa

Coming to Spain :)

I really love your video, thanks for it. Keep dancing :)

hi im 15 years old and came across this site and i think when i get older i want to do somthink like that but not dancing somthink diffrent im not sure what yet tho i think the video is exellent :)

You've provided one of the most entertaining bits I've seen in a long time... A little bit clogger, a little bit soft-shoe, a little bit farmer in the dell and voila, you're a hit.
You do need to put a photo of your Darwinian Tubercle on the site - that would put my experience over the top!

You're great :D But nyaah visit the Philippines and go to Luzon/Zambales :D
Oh, and do you play Counter Strike:Source >_> cause if you do.. let me have your steam name please

~Jess

will you marry me?

Just saw you last night dancing on stage at Bumbershoot with Sia of Zero7...so cool!

Thanks so much for your video and keep on dancing!

Hey Matt! I love your video!! I have never smiled so much in my life! I watch this video at least twice a day! If you ever want a female dance partner by all means look me up!
Brightest Blessings to you
Jodie

Hi Matt... a friend sent me an email with your site and I must say I loved the idea of you dancing around the world, you should come to Portugal. I have another friend who's doing something similar.. check out he's site!! http://www.cs.utah.edu/~vpham/

I thought this was cool. My only complaint was Guam, there were plenty of great things you could have danced in front of. Why rusted out cars. I hardly ever saw any when I was there and I went all over the island. Anyway I like the film.

Grande Matt!! la tua idea è stupenda e l'hai realizzata nel migliore dei modi.. BRAVO!

Great Matt! your idea is beautifull and you have realized it better than ever..
Those videos are simply fantastic and exiting!
Really Great!!

Good Luck!

A simple, yet exceedingly cool idea...don't forget to come dance in Texas! Adios, amigo.

Welcome to Sweden!!!!!!!!!

Wonderfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

hey matt
first of all, i like the dancing hehe. very cool.
I just went through ur journals and happen to found about ur trip to bangkok, thailand. its too bad that u didnt like it =( but it seem that u havent been to a good place in thailand.....well, acturlly u been in many very weird places there. O.o
well, most of the journal is about palau so, dont have much to do with thailand there. and u went to surat thani....thats like...the nothingness-for-tourist place
but however, if you decide to go back there some day, try royal palace, siam paragon, JJ market in bangkok or try contact Tourism Authority for outside bangkok area. btw, if u want to get around bangkok fast, take the sky train. I hope u go back there someday and acturlly have fun :D
Peace

PS: this year, thailand have "grand invitation" (as a honor for our king. yeah, we love our king). it mean there gonna be grand fastival for the whole year. check with tourism authority for info about when and where the fastival gonna start.

GReat work. Love the video and the music makes it. Best of luck and goodspeed.

I've never heard of this video before but I think that it just rejuvenated my life...I will be telling friends about it. It's a very beautiful thing.

Badass. I love it to death. Your dance is very unique and cute. :P

that dance is like a drug = addictive

Hey Matt (and Matts fans)-- I have sent out your video far and wide-- it's awesome. And would love for you to be part of a project.

I am producing a new series for The Travel Channel, part of Discovery Networks. I am searching for original Viewer Created Content (VCC) for the show. That is, you shoot it and cut it and upload it to our site. If we use it in the shows, you will be paid up to $1000. I am looking for funny, clever, creative, original material that is travel related. Feel free to put yourself into it if you like. You may submit as many times as you like. I am looking to find and develop new creative talent. This can be something you have already done, or something you might like to try. I am looking for 3-5 minute pieces.

Feel free to email me for more info! It's yet another chance to get paid to travel!

I'd like to know the name of the song so I can buy the CD in Amazon };->. Anybody knows?

I don't know why my tears came up. It was great!!!!! This is a touching sight amazing dance film. Thank so much!!!
My life is little changed by your film.

I loved your video! Thanks for sharing.

Matt you F*****g rock you are the man, keep it up and well done for having the guts to quit your job to travel.

Where the hell is Canada?

EXTRA! EXTRA!

We have found Canada in the map, and Matt dancing there!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J2CdRfg6cU

I had watched your video so many times, mostly when I was feeling alone.But tonight, for the first time, I read your archived thoughts and now these comments. Wow. I see now why you say "That is not the real Matt up there dancing -so don't make a mistake and think it is always like that." But then I read here that others have an emotional and someimes tearful response, as I sometimes do when I look at the video. I believe that it is a connection to you as one human to another, a joy at realizing what a fellow traveler can do - it elevates us all - and I think it allows me, at least, to feel a part of something bigger than myself. Thanks for your creation.
Frank (70 y.o.)

About the music: I didn't like the remix. I prefer the original song. I think the video could be nice with the original song... like the old video...
About the places: really amazing! It's my dream know 10% of this places... Congratulations!!!

don't forget to go to thailand my country very beautiful!!!

You are so cool! Congratulations!

super moment de detente dans une journée grise de bretagne. ça donne envie de voyager, ça fait sourire.
Merci

Hi, Matt. I love your video!! it´s amazing and your dance is fantastic, really cool!! Watching this video makes me feel more happy.
I hope you come to Spain to dance, specially in Segovia ^______^
Un saludo!!!!

Hi! Your video is amazing! The places, people, music and the dancing make us to believe life is a great gift. I think you could do another one and this time you can include Brazil, since there are so many different and beaultiful places here.
Congratulations

that was whicked sick...

Wow, Matt, that was great!!! Very emotional, inspiring and humorous entertainment. Better than all hollywood movies taken together.
Please continue with that stuff - as far as I know there´s nobody out there doing the job of dancing all around the world. Especially with that dancing technique - which looks great and makes me smile.
You are also very talented in finding the best spots where to dance...
When I´ve grown-up I wish I could do something similar. You´re kind of an idol for me.
I watched both of your clips around ten times and they are not getting boring at all. Congratulations and make the world a better place to live by continueing making such movies.
I tell you: If your video is densely spread all over the world, there won´t be any war. We just have to identifiy with you and demonstrate our open minds.

Matt proves what´s possible in life: He´s living under toughest conditions in a country, where people like Oprah Winfrey are nominated for the peace award...but Matt isn´t losing confidence and is dancing everything to the ground. A ground fertile for friendship, love, harmony and tolerance! Genius!

Must be nice to have money to burn!

muito louco o video!!

I know you... You`re Paece!! I knew that I recognized you from somewhere!!! I see that you actually ended traveling around the world... there are some lucky guys!! Say hello to Joey!! Bye

Your video was amazing! As a Seattlite I was thrilled to see my hometown as the final destination - it kind of made it feel like returning home after seeing the world. But even more exciting was seeing Petra! I spent the 2005 summer in parts of Jordan and Israel so I felt a stronger connection having seen it in person. You inspire me to want to travel and see more! Keep sharing your adventures with us!

hey matt. that video was really funny even the one where u did it on stage live.
so where are going to dance next?

Hi Matt, I saw your video this past weekend, and shared it with everyone I know. Very original. I am a travel nut too. I fly for the Air Force and the travel is what makes it amazing. A lot cooler when you fly your own jet to get there ;) AND your luggage doesn't get lost and you don't miss your flight. ;)
Anyway, I wanted to add that I have been reading your journals. Have you thought about writing a book? You seem to be a pretty intelligent guy with a gift for witty writing, and you have "been there done that" in a unique way. I am sure you have gleened some amazing travel tips as well as had these interesting experiences. With the success of this web site and your videos, I bet you could do well with a slim volume of your journals and photos.

Cheers,
Liz

This video is inspiring. What a beautiful and mysterious world we live in. It gives good reason to dance.
Best,
Ellie

matt

Keep the dream coming!

wow that was brilliant !!!

i tried to download the music but it came up with the original ... does anyone know where i can dowload the version on the vid ?

after watching this, i only wanted one thing : marry you!!! I saw that i am not the only one (: But anyway, my conception of life is like this, travelling, learning, watching, enjoy everyday because it can stop in one hour.Clever guy! That's good to see people like you, you take the goodest part of the life. Anyway, if you come to paris, i am here, next to Montmartre
florence, paris

Hi, I'm very pleased to visit you home site.
I'm Paul Kang living in Korea.
And I saw your dancing video clip which one of my friends recommended.
It was magnificent.
I visited some of the places in your clip, but most of them I've never visited.
But I found that you haven't been in Hong Kong and Korea in Asia.
You should visit those 2 cities someday~! for delicious food, great night scene, peaceful temple etc.
Anyhow, I wanted to say ' I saw it, I was moved, I appreciate for u about it'
Thanks.
And I hope someday in the future I would be able to see Korea and Hong Kong in your dancing clip
Peace be with you.

From Korea

Hey- wow! i think you just discovered the next new dance craze of our generation! Honestly, so jealous and so inspiring- cant wait to show everyone i know! Keep on dancing.

Hi!

You're a genius. I love your videos.
Regards from Spain.

Ey!! Como que no vienes a España? El mejor país del mundo!! Hay lugares muy interesantes, asi como la fiesta que tenemos. No te la pierdas!! Pasate por España, tienes muchas cosas que ver y disfrutar. Saludos!!

where is SPAIN? Barcelona, Madrid ... the best culture in the world, je je :)

Hello. I want to encourage you to keep doing this. The video is amazing, I really like the places that you have chosen. The one I like the most is in Bolivia at the begining of the video, is so amazing the effect that you see, where the sky meets the water.

You had been in my country, Ecuador. The Galapagos Islands is the most representative place there for shure. Maybe if you want to go for a 2nd time you can go to my city, Guayaquil, the one I read on your blog that you didn't like the weather, he he... is fine, is a tough weather, I know. Maybe you can do a shot on the monument of "Simon Bolivar and San Martin", that is the city's most representative one... I bet you know why. Take care and good luck. Carlos L.

the video is fantastic but....where is spain??

You are my heroe|||||

Congratulations!!!

have you aren,t in spain?, you do not know what you lose yourself

When I saw this video my jaw dropped, you did what I have only dreamed of doing....this is something you will cherish forever.

Simply brilliant!

géniaaaaaaaaaaaaaal !!!!!!!!!!!!!

* brilliant * funny * sensual * makes me reflective ~ If you'll ever come to Cologne/Germany you're invited.
THX & Stay tuned!!!
Mark

I don't know where the hell is Matt, but I want to know...From where the hell came that wainker? He works for Disney Channel in Vatican City TV? He won a contest of freaks and the price was to punish all the humans going arround the world showing the decadence of Occident to the rocks of Alaska , the primitive cultures all the globe and the animals from the forest?
Oh my God ! I never saw such an asshole in my whole f... life, what the hell is that guy doing? he is not normal, I swear to God. Nor even his mother could lie and tell him she loves him, I think she threw him to see the world after he tried to sexually abuse of his pets, he has the face of that.
How can any human dance so freaky? That's funny? He looks to be dancing in exasty for the smell of his own fart, I cannot believe my eyes, I think I will spend two years going to my psychoanalist to forget those Images.
Please Matt, go back to your house and close the tap , I will flash for you.

What about Spain??

That was fun to see you dancing like this all around the world, I believe John Travolta is back...

For you. Smile. Kiss. Love.

Thanks for this great video. I had seen this film and think: "One World - One Future"

Your Welcome in Berlin (Germany)!

vidéo idéale pour remonter le moral les jours de déprime! j'ai beaucoup ri , merci !

que bonita es la Tierra!!! no se por que hay gente que la quiere estropear... :(

Nice!!!

But you went to France and Italy, what about Switzerland?!
Come to Geneva and dance in front of the UN! Or even next to the Jet d'eau!

Hi Matt,thanks to the french tv I discovered your internet site.You are a very lucky guy,Ilove your video.Keep on dancing ! When are you planning to dance near Marseille in France ?
Une française trés heureuse et admirative.

Hi Matt,thanhs to french tv I discovered your site.Ilove your video,you are a very lucky guy .Keep on dancing !When are you planning to dance in Marseille in France ?Avec le TGV c'est facile !
Bravo.

I love, love, *love* this video - it's awesome and it makes my day. A friend of mine showed it to me and I've probably watched it a few dozen times in the past few days. I love the music in the background - it's very fitting. My favorite part is near the end, in Rwanda, with all the children dancing with you. It really touches my heart every time I see it.

And while I'm here, I might as well pimp out the great state of Kentucky. There's the world's largest bat in Louisville and an Indian chief's head statue carved from a tree (it's really rather larger) in Paducah, if you ever run out of places to shoot. :)

Very nice.! Good job Matt. Maybe you can make a second part and come to Panama. It would be lovely =)

You have been travelled for so many countrys, but you haven't visited Portugal yet.
Try it!

OH MY GOD YOU ARE MY HERO!! I got to say though your dance isnt to.. good i guess is the best way to put it.. but i seriously love the sights your at.. its just amazing.. You are one crazy person, you were dancing on a rock between two mountains and you went to antartica.. jeez.. And when you were in Salar de Uyuni,Bolivia, looked beutiful.. i got to hand it to you though.. You leave a good impression on me atleast.. even though my friends think otherwise.. but whatever they're weird (>_<).. Well anyways.. hope u get this.. if you dont.. allwell.. if u do.. thats cool.. i cant wait fer ur next video to come out i guess.. just dont kill yourself like falling off a cliff, that would really suck.. take care.. bye..

You are my hero too !! BRAVO !! All my friend like your video! Congralutations !
A french girl ( très admirative aussi ! )

And where it's Spain?? You, lucky man, came to Spain and I will give you a room for a night.

your video clip with "guam" in it is insulting. of all the places on guam, why'd you choose that eye sore. there are way more beautiful locations than that! what were you thinking?!

Muy bueno el video, y te envidio por haber estado en tantos lugares alrededor del mundo... Enhorabuena y felicidades. Un saludo desde España.

Hey Matt..this is really neat! Did you read the book 'Blue Highway'?...or 'Across America'...you are like those folks, yet yourslef, discovering the world, the people and in such a peaceful way. Bravo! More young and not so young should take a lesson from you and maybe it could bring PEACE IN THIS WONDERFUL WORLD OF OURS! Keep this wonderful spirit up and share 'encore & encore'...Why not come to Brussels once?...The best to you, Viv (my 2 daughters live in the US)

That is amazing!! I didnt notice any Canadian stops...will there be a part two?

Thanks. This is an amazing piece of work. And thanks to Stride gum... the next time I'm going to buy gum it is going to be Stride, no matter what it might taste like.

what happend!!!! I did see El Salvador

Your video is pretty cool. I love the dancing.
But all you can get in Guam is a bunch of junk cars. Boy, you missed out on alot! I was expecting to see a back ground of Guam's Talafofo water falls or something or even Two lovers point. That sucks!

Hello Matt !

Good to see someone realizing his dream !
Nice dance !

Hey Mark! Great Project! Great Result!
I am from Greece and I am sorry about your experience trying to dance in front of Pathenon!
Also, I would like to agree with your quote about the ancient places although I am Greek:
"There are places like Angkor Wat and Abu Simbel that leave me truly astonished. They have a magical quality. But the Taj Mahal? Pyramids? Parthenon? To me, it’s just a pile of rocks that doesn’t say anything worth saying."

Try to dance at Palenque at Mexico and Jericoacoara at Brazil. Gorgeous places!!

amazing video, truly inspiring. Everyone needs to see this, it just made my day.

gracias por hacer videos como este que dios te de vida para que sigas bailando y viajando suerte desde Venezuela.

We are waiting for you in Israel! Keep enjoying life!

I am going to teach "multi-culturalism" to my Year 9 students in Melbourne, OZ....Thought I will show them your video-clip.....It's going to get them hooked on travelling, different cultures and on tolerance....Thanks for being you...May my students learn as much and write as well as you...

Brilliant, I really love this video!
Thank you for the dream...

Viens danser à Lyon, tu seras le bienvenu!

Hey, this is very inspiring video, I also showed it to my kids.
This should be shown to all the kids in the world.

I don't get it....what was the point of going to all those places and dancing? My teacher said to watch it and it would lift our spirits, but my spirits didn't move. Point of this is?....No point...

seeing this dumb ass go around the world made no sense and waching this now made me 15% stupeder then what i was so thanks.

Matt, Everytime I watch this video it makes me tear up with happiness and the music you used is just perfect. I can't tell you how much I love watching it Thanks so much for sharing this and keep dancing.

Thanks for making me smile. Come dance in Israel! Every Saturday morning - on the beach in Tel Aviv, in the park - hundreds of people get together and dance. Shalom!

HEY!!! I love your video soo much! my dad works overseas so we have to travel around a lot and ive live in Sri-Lanka, Fiji, The US, Papua New Guinee, Botswana ( I loved your shot at Mokolodi! did you go to the cheetah cages and pet the cheetahs?!) and now im living in Ireland...

I want to do something like that someday, im just 13, so im going to wait.. :P

Did u rlly travel thru all those places??

NEXT TIME VISIT SPAIN!!
Bye

Genial!!!

Wow Matt. You've got a million and one comments already, but one more can't hurt.

I was amazed and breath taken when I saw the 2005 video. I envied you and admired you and your actions at the same time. You, your girlfriend, and friends are very lucky to be able to travel. You've said before that there is no secret, and that is probably true. When I say lucky, I just mean that you are fortunate to be able to follow your dream.

The 2006 video is more amazing, and seemingly more epic than the 2005 one. Although, I do prefer the verison of Sweet Lullaby from the 2005 Video. ;3

This is...sooooo.....awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

purely wiked and very touching!!!!!!

realy touching. i need to pay you for such a great movie !!!! excellent! so simple so touch hearting.

thanks
Israel

hi!!!! im writing fron spain
i only can say INCREDIBLE!!. THANKS

your videos are really cool.

come dance in new orleans next time

Hey man I enjoy seen you enjoying...funny dance!!

I try to watch this at least once every week. Don't know why but it makes me want to run up to the rooftop of the building and start shouting to all the people in the city (Singapore).
Sometimes you don't need any words.. just dance your heart out and get everyone else to join in.
It's THE ANSWER to everything, at least for a while..

Your dancing videos are very enviable.

But why didn't visit Korea?

If you visit Korea, I'll be happy.
