Spinning The Globe And Flying Wherever It Lands

three - when I was a kid I had a glob on my desk and I used to love spinning it closed my eyes point my finger somewhere random and then open them up to see where I landed letting my imagination run free about what that country would be like and if I'd ever get to visit it and the answer was almost always that I'd probably never get to but fifteen years have passed and I've realized how life-changing of an experience seeing other parts of the world and experiencing new cultures truly is so today - leave it up to chance and throw ourselves into an unknown country we've decided to live out this childhood fantasy to make the spin more specific we've decided to rely on Google Maps as I'm feeling lucky feature which spins the globe and truly sends you somewhere random but also somewhere very specific and like a finger on a globe would Matt and I are the ones going on this adventure because Amara's Egyptian passport requires him to have a visa for most countries so unfortunately a last-minute trip is impossible for him and given that matt hasn't been able to travel for months because of his Ironman training the hype to go on this trip was high oh this is the ultimate I feel like tribal dream just fully chance decide where you go anywhere in the world you know when you're a kid that you dream of doing that like now we're actually gonna get to fly there all right oh my god I am feeling lucky right here Wow the powers wait so we're only doing one click and then we just fly there I think so my friend I think so oh boy it's actually shockingly nerve-wracking three two Australia's so far you're the Great Barrier Reef we've never been no I know we wanted to go forever where I'm aware just like a dream of mine down to go so bad that's really this could have literally sent us anywhere freakin Australia time to reveal to the boys where we're going and what do we think Wow crocodiles Gator Isis Aussie advice we are booking the flights to Brisbane right now and here is a little secret for all you people who want to travel we have a website yes--there calm on that website there is a tab called an adventure if you click this it is freaking crazy what it does we are saving $400 use our friend Guillaume who's a travel hacker set up this plug-in on our website to find the cheapest flights I had not found anything cheaper than what is on yes where we go on the bricking Pau Hana but to make this more interesting we've added a twist to it but we'll explain at airport it says Brisbane I still can't believe it thank you thank you we have decided that once we arrive in Brisbane it's a two and a half hour flights to get to the actual Great Barrier Reef we are going to find two very very lucky strangers who have never been to the Great Barrier Reef and who are from Australia we're gonna ask them if they want to join us if we're gonna go to the most iconic place of a certain continent we got to take people who have never been

think people seriously oh man it was unreal has to go for you two fellas yeah you like the coolest place standard a bike as our journey to the Great Barrier Reef came to an end we were supposed to part ways the next day but after having had such an amazing time with Luke and Travis Luke decided to stay with us to explore the area it's rain forests and massive put faith back in my I wasn't very happy I was happy but I wasn't use a legends dead said legends like Richard you should be freaking for myself when we first arrived in Australia we truly had no idea what our adventure would look like we're honestly quite nervous when we start these trips because of that but then we stumbled onto Luke having no idea what he'd gone through which gave us such an eye-opening perspective that we never know what the people we walk past on the street every single day are going through and that it's so easy to forget that every human we cross is somebody totally different from us dealing with all of their own problem so next time you pass someone on the street and make eye contact I think we should all be a little bit more like Luke and give them a smile and a Hello because at the end of the day you never know how far they can take you and before we go we want to mention that from now on we're gonna be offsetting our carbon footprints by donating to Terra Pass which provides funds to green
