It&#8217;s a video of this guy dancing in places all over the world. I checked out his website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wherethehellismatt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Where The Hell Is Matt?&#8221;<\/a> and learned a bit about why he&#8217;s doing this. Apparently, he just decided he didn&#8217;t want to work anymore, so he saved up some money, quit his job, and traveled. While traveling, he did a silly dance at the request of his friend and posted it online. It was quite popular, so he decided to do it more often in the various places he traveled. A year later, Stride Gum asked him if he would consider taking a trip around the world and dancing wherever he goes. He agreed and has been doing it ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The videos he&#8217;s made are all entertaining, but this one is really the best. It&#8217;s also a video that was posted to YouTube in 720p (which is how I&#8217;ve embedded it below). Visit the direct link and you can watch it full screen. Make sure you click on the &#8220;watch in high quality&#8221; link off the bottom-right corner of the video on YouTube&#8217;s site. You can also create a YouTube account and change your settings to always display the &#8220;high quality&#8221; version when available.<\/p>\n<p>The song featured in the video is incredibly beautiful.
