The author Miriam Beard once said that traveling is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of the living. Meeting other people, experiencing other cultures, and yes, eating food foreign to our tastebuds - these are but few examples of the things that initiate the change in us. There is joy in traveling! It is this joy that penetrates our being.
I would like you to meet Matt Harding. Matt is a 30+ yeard old from Connecticut. He initially traveled within Asia and he danced badly in different places. When his dance videos were posted and seen by people through the web, he was flooded by requests from people all over the world to dance with him. A sponsor showed interest and the rest is history.
See the moving joy of travel in the video below... 14 months in the making, across 42 countries, and a cast of thousands... And yes, he danced in the Philippines.

ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeleteMatt Harding may not be a household name, but his dancing is world famous. Last year Time named his “Where the Hell is Matt?” video the year’s #1 viral video–and for good reason. By clumsily dancing his way from India to France to Hawaii to Micronesia to Bolivia and Tanzania and more, he showed the world that one awful dance could show us all what a really small world we really live in. Everyone–men, women, and children–joined him in his spirited, joyful dance.
Matt’s first book “Where the Hell is Matt?” ($14.95 hardcover, Skyhorse Publishing) is the story of Matt, his travels, and his videos. Told with humor and illustrated with over 200 of Matt’s own photographs, it is the perfect summer read for anyone who loves Matt’s video and wanted to hear from Matt how his journey started, whom he met on the way, and what he saw along the way.
“Where the Hell is Matt?” is available from booksellers everywhere–on line and in stores. Please let us know if you need or want any further information about Matt or his book.
Sincerely,
Heather Chapman, Publicity Assistant
