Where the Hell is Matt?

He had a simple plan. He was going to program and play video games for the rest of his life. Then something snapped and he started his world travels on the money he had saved. This video shows all the places he has been.

You can read Matt’s journal and enjoy a first hand view of his travels:

I love the entry from Singapore:

Transit.

And for as long as I remain this way, I’m okay. When I stop moving, that’s when problems catch up.

But this isn’t right, is it? Surely this is not the way it should be. Airports are soulless, antiseptic. Why am I at peace here? Why am I only happy when I’m going somewhere?

I don’t know. I suppose, looking at myself from afar, the question itself is fairly obvious.

What is this guy’s deal?

But it’s only just occurred to me. It took 49 flights in twice as many days for me to notice. This is abnormal. Abnormal, maybe, in a bad way.

Sometimes travel is an escape from the mundane and sometimes its an escape from other things. The one thing you can’t run away from, however, is yourself. Enjoy Matt’s travels from the beginning and feel yourself transported to a different world.
