Expedition 206 - What does happiness mean to the world?

by JunLoayza | View Comments |

If you had the opportunity to find happiness in every region of the world, would you do it?  I would too :)

My good friends from around the world are competing for the opportunity to do just that.  The opportunity is called Expedition 206, where the winning team will travel to 206 countries in 1 year and tape, blog, and Tweet about their adventures and the people they meet.

The amazing part is that we get to choose who goes on the trip! Check out my descriptions for the teams below and then decide who you want to vote for.

The Teams:

Team WOW

Brendan - Brendan is a rock star who currently lives in China.  He has done various video shows over there and does the funniest “Chinese call” for a waitress.  He’s such a fun loving guy with a big heart - you can truly tell that he cares about the people he meets.

Greer - When I first met Greer, I thought that she was a nice, tranquil girl who liked to play by the rules.  As I got to know her, I realized that she is much more of an adventurer than I am and could probably beat me at many extreme sports.  I’ll never forget her and Justin’s dance routine and her Capoeira skills.

Erin - Erin is a sweetheart.  I had the opportunity to work with Erin and had a blast because of her energy and enthusiasm.  Erin actually just got married last week so wish her congratulations!

Team Sha-ba-ba-doo

Sam - Sam and I had a blast during our time together.  The guy is a Chinese male cheerleader from Canada - what’s not to like?  My most memorable moment was when he spontaneously started jamming on the piano and we all sang along to With or Without You by U2.  I can’t wait until he becomes a Chinese Pop Star!

Dave - Dave and I didn’t really have the opportunity to bond.  Like Tony (in the team below), Dave can captivate an audience with his words.  He can really jam on his harmonica so he and Sam could make an awesome musical duo.

Josephine - Josephine is a go-getter.  She loves to compete and I can tell that she really wants to win this.  Josephine has the language skills, travel experience, and will power to make the yearlong trip.

Team The Mix

Antonio - Antonio is a Shaolin Master from Mexico City.  I’m totally serious!  I’m jealous of his facial hair because mine only grows out in small patches; it’s quite sad.  I had the opportunity to collaborate with Antonio on multiple projects and I feel he is one of the strongest people in this competition.  I know I’ll be visiting him sometime in the future in Mexico City to hang out and train in the art of Shaolin. Hermano, te deseo todo lo mejor!

Kelly - Kelly knows how to have an awesome time.  During the U2 concert, Kelly and I snuck down to the pit by utilizing a weapon that no man can resist - a French accent.  I swear we were so close that we could almost touch Bono.  I guarantee that if Kelly goes on the trip, you will always have something entertaining to watch.

Tony - My boy Tony is a storyteller.  I greatly admire his ability because I’m more of a listener and responder than a captivator.   His attention to detail in his videos and his straight up passion for this opportunity is exactly what this expedition needs to be successful.

May the best team win!

Haha! Your post is so timely. I just took 20 minutes trying to figure out what your video Project 206 was for. I was going to vote for team WOW, but then had to log in and that tiny barrier killed my mild enthusiasm.

Side note, your application video is way better than these… :)

This is a great idea for a travel contest.

Did you help set this up Jun? How do you know all of those people?

Hi Jun! Just wanted to say thanks for you putting the effort into this; I love all the descriptions you wrote about all of us. I hope we can run into each other again - maybe we should have a reunion for the 18 after the expedition is over?
Cheers! Greer
