The World is Full of Good People!

Robin Greenfield has a simple idea… that people are good and the world is a good place.
So he decided to put his idea to the ultimate test by flying one way to a far off place with no money, no credit card, no cellphone, not even a toothbrush. Just the clothes on his back and a passport. Mainstream media portrays the world as a dangerous place, a place that you should fear and Robin is out to prove them wrong.
He landed in Panama City, Panama 4,000 miles and 7 countries from his home in San Diego, California with no camera of his own and made this film using the cameras of people he met along the way
He worked odd jobs to earn money for border crossings, travel, and food. To start off he collected cans and sold stuff he found in garbages. He worked on organic farms in exchange for food and a bed to sleep in. He foraged in the wild for food, ate food that other people wasted
and shared meals with the generous people that he met along the way. He stayed with people he met through sharing websites like couchsurfing and WWOOF and stayed with complete strangers that he met traveling and from social media.
He hitchhiked and took buses and even walked part of the way. Dozens of people picked him up on the road side and enjoyed taking part in his adventure.
Generous and kind souls gave him food, places to sleep and they insisted on getting nothing in return. He always tried to give more than he received because money is just one form of exchange. By traveling with no money it took him to places and introduced him to people
he never would have seen or met in any other way.
People showed him that we need a lot less to be happy and healthy than we think and that by living simply we can live freely. His happiest moments were those when he could help others that he met.
He arrived back in San Diego 37 days later with just 10 cents in his pocket.
28 people used their cameras to make this documentary. When he got home all he could think is PEOPLE ARE GOOD!

[lumpiathief]

Freaking amazing. Thanks for sharing your epic adventure!

[sriradhagovinda]

Awesome! Rob, for me, you are such an example of how if we trust in Higher power (nature is one aspect of that power) then we dont need to fear anything but accomplish anything. Many people just spend their life for creating basic security but lose themselves in the process, but if we have faith that people can be good, and work for a life beyond superficial then life is awesome. Because its not that everyone you found were helpful or nice to you, but its your faith and vision that kept you going. So you didnt quit when someone was not nice, but you went on. I admire your resilence. With a good heart and faith we can not only survive but do amazing things for humanity.

Wonderful message for a world so connected to fear that they aren't really living.

Great video Rob👍 YES people are Good! PMA

[austinthaijam]

part of me doesn't want to believe this video is true because I'm scared of the unknown and feel money gives me security. I want to be so confident and resourceful one day that I can make a trip like this happen.

[Davidthemarathoner]

Brilliant, Rob! Keep doing your amazing work and adding waves to the ripple which is helping make the planet a healthier, happier, more humanly-connected place... :o)

Congratulations for what you fighting for and defend.
I wish I could do as you do, detach me from the constraints and be in agreement with nature and the world around me.
Thank you for this great experience that you share and good luck for the sequel. Merci à toi Rob 👍🏼

[robertbenedict]

Yes Rob, I couldn't agree more. I backpacked across the USA, Canada into Alaska and found good and sweet people who were always generous. I also walked completely Barefoot as you do, and I still live a completely Barefoot lifestyle.
