Connecting with others

Matt has backpacked around the world to 70 countries and all the 7 continents. He has danced badly around the world, in front of famous landmarks. He danced with many people from Tokyo, Japan to Paris, France. From Christmas Island, Australia to Mumbai, India. From Antseranana, Madagascar to Marid, Spain. He literally traveled around the world to dance badly with random people.

"People want to feel connected with each other" Matt said. They do, and as i saw on the video, that these people were smiling and having fun and acting ridiculous. They like to be with each other and to connect. Laughing, smiling, dancing, acting funny- Matt has brought people together by just doing a dance.

There are 6 billion people in the world and we are all linked together one way or another. People from different races, religions and nationalities came together to do a silly dance. Matt has helped bring the world together by doing a dance.

I chose the picture for it shows children from different races and backgrounds, holding hands and literally connecting. It shows that you don't have to be the same religion or nationality to be friends.
