Amateur Traveler episode 109. Today the Amateur Traveler goes to Barbados.

Learn why George Washington's only overseas journey was to this sun-drenched island. I got my bags packed on a roll.

I'm heading out there and I'm ready to go.

Looking real good in my passport photo.

15 hour flight oh I don't think I'll ever be coming home

you know I love it I got to see one more cathedral.

I know that I should be heading home,

I'm your host, Chris Christensen. I have two news stories for you today. The first one may be a familiar story

you may have seen if you've ever been to YouTube.com, Dancing Matt.

just as a keepsake.

Those videos started to get passed along from friend to friend until they turned into millions of views on YouTube and other video sites.

Well, Matt is on the road again and he's turned this funky dance into a sponsorship with Stride gum and they're funding yet another

trip for dancing mat. Also in case you haven't seen it in case you're the one who didn't
