On his website, Matt admits all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames, but later realized he might be missing out on some great things life has to offer.
In 2003, he quit his job in Australia and used the money he saved to wander around Asia until the money ran out. He originally made his website so his family and friends who keep track of his adventures.
Then, his friend gave him an area. They were taking pictures in Hanoi when his friend said, "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance. I'll record it." He was referring to a particular dance Matt does. It's actually the only dance Matt does. He does it badly. More than 37 million hits on YouTube later, he has gone viral.
Matt lives in Seattle, Washington with his girlfriend, Melissa, and dog, Sydney.
