Dancing Around the World

matt Dancing Around the World Why can’t we find jobs like this?!!!

Why is Matt dancing around the world? Because some gum company is willing to pay for it.
Actually, Matt had already been dancing before Stride approached him with a sponsorship deal.
They just asked Matt where he wanted to go and paid his travel expenses. Since Matt started dancing three years ago, he hasn’t had to get a real job. What’s so interesting about a guy doing a “farmer’s jig” in different locations (including one underwater and another in a US military airspace) around the world? It a lot more fun and inspiring to watch than you may think. The wide scope of his travels is amazing and his latest video is even better for including participation from locals in the cities he visits!

This is almost as good as Terry’s bush man idea (see previous post)!

    I have been thinking of different ideas (hopefully I’ll illustrate some level of progression though posts) about how to generate supplemental income on our world travels. Manali and I were talking one day about the trip, and tinkering sort of jobs, and she mentioned she heard a couple, venturing on a similiar sort of journey, [...]
