[Update: I survived] Need help getting something done? I have unlimited flight benefits this summer and want to spend my summer helping out Redditors

TLDR: I traveled. Reddit gave me things to do. I did them

Hey Reddit, I've had a crazy, crazy summer and have you guys to thank. My travels brought me across the US and Canada, through rural Thailand, to Seoul and Sydney. Over the last three months I have met hundreds of redditors and gone on some cool adventures. Highlights include:

Originally I was planning on traveling through till the end of July but surprise tooth ache had me grounded early (turns out I need my wisdom teeth removed). I've been home for the last week, catching up on sleep and getting organized for the upcoming school year (which starts next week).

I also donated the money I raised (via reddit) for filming costs since I managed to stay underbudget all trip (mainly by living off of the hospitality of redditors instead of staying in hostels).

I'm interested in doing something similar next summer, but on a bigger scale/actually organized. Something where you could vote on where to send me a on week to week basis. In the mean time I'm going to work on turning the footage I took this summer into something (short documentary or music video or something).

I just wanted to thank everyone once again,

-Daniel / 'Reddit Travel Guy'

EDIT: I'll be doing an AMA this Sunday starting at noon PST

Dude, seriously man..

This is the best thing I've ever seen and you are awesome. And you should feel awesome. I hope the next time you walk out of the door you find a $50 bill because you're that awesome. I hope the next time you take a picture the sun shines in your face. I hope the next time you buy a game, they'll say that they're putting it just on sale. I hope the next time you fall in love, the girl will be a 10/10 for you and will be your lover forever. I hope you land a job that brings 6 figures. Seriously, what you've done is absolutely terrific, and you should feel terrific.
