IgoUgo Picks Your Top Travel Videos

IgoUgo Picks Your Top Travel Videos Photo

Photo by Shady Ady

We didn’t know what we were in for when we asked you to share your travel videos. We’re not surprised that one of our favorites makes us hungry for some caliente cuisine, but who knew we’d be equally inspired to throw on some dancing shoes—especially if there’s a table involved, à la Shady Ady’s music video?

The Englishman captured an enthusiastic young hip-shaker while volunteering for a year as a teacher near Ecuador’s Cotopaxi Volcano. Our IgoUgo member is noticeably absent from the dance routine, but maybe that’s because he’s the first to admit that this 3-year-old student “has better dance moves” than he does. See for yourself.

Idler ups the ante with her artistic take on dances from around the world, culled from her photographs of Washington, D.C.; London; Barbados; and the American West. Not dancing to this one proves nearly impossible.

And Daniel Baer over at Tripfilms has our mouths watering with his (equally danceable) short, Gava Says Eat Here. Our tour guide certainly knows his way around Mexico City restaurants, including an Italian place run by Mexican chefs trained in America.

Thanks to all of the filmmakers who shared their experiences with IgoUgo—and we hope the rest of you enjoyed the show.
