This is the story about Matt Harding, who’s 5 minute travel video has been viewed by twenty five million people on YouTube, and is impossible not to love. As an Africa Travel Blog I should also mention that during these 5 rich minutes he manage to feature eight African travel destinations which include Zanzibar, Mali, Madagascar (x2), Zambia, Morocco and South Africa (x2). It took him 14 months to create the video, and he visited 42 countries all over the world in it’s making.
It’s not much more to say other than: “Please watch this video”. It gave me the goosebumps and made my fiance cry (!). And I wish to say “thank you” to the two South African guys who walked into the store where I work yesterday and showed this video to me. I have watched it countless times since then.
Here’s the video:

You will find even more videos and information on his website: www.wherethehellismatt.com





I did not cry! I said that I almost cried!!!
Hey you guys!
I am goofing off on my birthday and decided to have a look at the TD website, specifically your blog to see what’s new.
I enjoyed the Matt dance around the globe.
We are going to see Up In The Air tonight to check out the Travel Pro. I got in some Platinum; one set. Elegant stuff but pricy! $350 for the 22″. Worst case is that Ron and I will end up with it and then have to take an expensive vacation to show it off.
A light rain is falling today. We were getting a bit smug about our warm weather as Europe was covered in ice and snow all the way down to “sunny” Provence. We need serious rain as you know.
Love and hugs
KT
