Wanderlust
Have you guys seen these videos? Rick Mereki spent 44 days taking 18 flights to 11 countries, and he saw stunning views, ate beef tongue, and learned to dance with a beautiful woman. These short films are incredible. Don't they make you want to hop on a plane and go somewhere amazing?

ps. the first one is my favorite, it makes you giddy to watch it :)
wow! these are amazing!! I'd love a getaway right now!
I've seen them the other day and I totally agree with you, they make me crave adventure. The EAT one is my favourite. Have a lovely Friday, Joanna:)
Mmmm I'd love to take a vacation with him :)
Oh my goodness. Sitting at work just got better and intolerable at the same time! I want to go!!

I found these myself last month, they are so wonderful!
Love it!
Now I'm craving an adventure. Holding goats and riding elephants and eating so many beautiful things. Thanks for sharing!
what brilliant editing! especially MOVE, they are really inspiring and they make you want to pack your bags and grab your passport...
ah yes...when these were first being shared around the web a few weeks ago I watched them at least three or four times a day. I LOVE them. so inspiring. this world was always thought to be so enormous and then the more I watched these videos I had this feeling like we're all so close and so similar as people. we live in such different places but our lives are so intertwined.
I can't possibly choose a favorite! I love the first one too but then I watch the food and I want to eat everything and the colors are outrageous! and then I see "Learn" and WOW! it makes me want to try every last thing. amazing.
really cool videos! i am feeling a trip coming on. could use some snow. i am thinking the alps.... hmmm.... better start planning x
these are incredible! and he's so cute :)
A teeny crush? I'm in love.
yes, move was my favorite, too -- so amazing.
haha, leslie, he is a stud!! :)
I have more than a tiny-tiny crush...and now a giant travel boner.
I saw these a few weeks ago and have been itching to hop a plane ever since!
my sister is off on an adventure around the world with her boyfriend at the moment, I sent her these videos just after she left as a taster of how amazing it could be! they make me mega jealous though... i've got ants in my pants watching them :)
So cool! Now, I'm definitely in the mood to plan a vacay to a place I've never been to - Turkey/Greece :)
Now, to go - first I need to find a job that will fund it :D

So inspiring and of course it doesn't hurt that he is so adorable! I am hungry now.
those videos are amazing! I can't pick a favorite- I love them all. And he is a-dor-a-ble :) Thanks for sharing!
They're fun! xo
so amazing! makes me want to travel!
These are literally the coolest thing I've ever seen (I posted them a couple months ago and am still nagging my husband to take me somewhere amazing STAT!)
Wow!!
(first one is my favourite too)
I ♥ to travel around the world!
Food is SO imporatant to me-especially when I am travelling! I can't wait to be at the coast in Kenya eating seafood! MMmmm!Thanks for sharing!
L.O.V.E. these! They give me goose bumps and a real itch to travel.
I saw them via http://almostfearless.com - a travel/adventure blog worth checking out if you are interested in travel as a lifestyle. It doesn't always come easy but Christine and Drew the blog authors are proof that you can travel indefinitely and grow a family at the same time. Now that's wanderlust!
Great! Thanks for that!
I love these videos, but I adore the "move" one

the videos are so cute! i'm loving it. :)
This is so wonderful. I might be a little in love with this guy too.
I second Leslie. He's irresistible!
Love it! Andrew Lees is such a cutie... my gosh.
On top if it all...dude is hot!
Wow! THIS is how to live. Doesn't he look joyful?!
Yes, he is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL. i would travel/kiss him anyday ;)
Just long enough to keep my attention.
I like the food video. Made me hungry.
Cool how he ends with desert and champagne.
The chap was easy to rest my eyes on.

The first one is my favorite! And I think I have more than a teeny crush on this guy - don't tell my boyfriend!

For me, personally, they don't make me want to jump on a plane right away. First I want to sit back in my chair and just wonder, just think about how amazing the world can be if you simply take it with love and an open heart.
There is so much to apprechiate, to learn.
These made my day. They make me not just want to go out & travel, but just to LIVE life more fully! Thank you for sharing, Joanna!
The 'genius' label you assigned is perfectly right!
I have a mega-huge crush on this guy!
amazing!! what a wonderful journey. it makes you realize that life is really about exploring and learning. how enriching and beautiful. i'm inspired!
Love Love Love!
Oh wow! I love the Move video. Can I please go traveling now!?

ahh my computer wont let me view them. Ill have to try again later :)
I think i have a crush too! haha.. but the LEARN one when he came out of the water on the elephant.. It gave me chills.. I want to do that one day~ Rick take me with you next time! ;)
I love these videos.
I moved to Mexico in June, and tongue tacos haves become my new favorite food. The meat is so flavorful and tender. You must try it.
I just love these!! Gotta travel!!!!
Oh my goodness. Teeny-tiny crush? I think I might be in love!
I love these! What a cutie too! And for the record beef tongue is delicious!
Uh huh, he's cute ;)
Oh my goodness. I may have a teeny-tiny crush on him as well. What an amazing experience that would be.
These are amazing. I watched each of them twice. And may have just told my husband (we're both home sick) that my crush is not to teeny-tiny on this guy. Incredible.
love them. and totally understand shoko, he is so hot ;-)
Um major crush. Wow!
Someone get me on a plane! x
Oh.My.Goodness. "teeny-tiny crush"? You gotta be kidding me, especially after the "learn" video, i have a humungo CLOSSAL crush on this guy! he basically lived all my life dreams in 44 days.*swoon*
LOVE!!!!!!
Great films - aren't they a commercial campaign for STA travel?!
Wow these are so cool, and the the guy is definitely a cutie.. thanks for sharing, will borrow them from you!
i fell in like when i saw the first 2 a few weeks back. the learn one wooed me. so awesome
How fantastic! I have more than a "tenny-tiny crush" on him! X
I saw those videos around a month ago and literally couldn't stop watching them. There's nothing like travelling, eating while doing it and getting to experience new things. That's just how life should be!
Can I marry the guy? Please???

These were for an ad campaign by STA (Student Travel Australia) and they've been on TV over here for a while! He is a total cutie, and the best bloke!
i don't know what shoko's talkin' about with this teeny-tiny crush stuff - 'cause after watchin' that - i've got one big ol' humongously gigantic crush on the boy! ;)
Those videos are my current favorites. I just can't stop watching them!
These have been floating around for a while, but they're from here (Aus) so I guess it took a while for them to go from TV and STA site -> aus blogs -> intl blogs. They are great though!
Also... I'm fairly certain it was a group of three! (Obviously not all in the video :)
That's EXACTLY what I want to do with my life. I love the first one. So inspirational...

I have seen them before and they keep giving my goosbumps evertime i watch them.
It reminds of the move http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/
Love to see it over and over again!
I posted the move video on my own blog awhile ago, because I just couldn't get enough of it.
To Shoko, I have a little crush too. He might be my ideal man that I've never met. Ha I need to find someone who is so willing to move, eat, and learn! Ahh!
Eek, he's so cute!!
Don't tell my boyfriend I said that.
Oh my gosh- amazing! Reminds me of this video: "Where the hell is Matt" (sorry for h e double-hockey sticks, but that's just what it's called...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY
He is absolutely adorable! I see him having his own show on The Food Network soon. And yes that food video made me very hungry :-)

super awesome and quite inspiring!

These are fantastic!! Thank you and we do want to hit the road now! Wonderful. ; )
i think i have a crush on him too. i love the film about food. i love food!
I think the videos are amazing, but why did he do so many countries in such a short time? Only 4 days per country? He must have been running from point to point!
What a hottie!
The learn video was my favorite! Swimming with elephants, making authentic pasta? Also, looks like he got some kind of workout in everyday! Perfection.
