What do you call someone who travels nearly 50 countries in a year, puts themselves $27,000 in debt and can prove Coca Cola runs the world? Insane?
Well, actually, the adventurous man goes by the name of Ansane, and this trip was anything but insane. About to turn 30 (30 is the new 20, right?), Ansane went on the ultimate study abroad experience. But it turns out there wasn't as much studying as there was drinking … Coca Cola!
From the mountains of Switzerland to the Great Wall of China to the plains of Kenya to New York City, Ansane documented his experiences drinking a Coca-Cola in 48 countries through YouTube. Some of the cans may feature different languages or alphabets or are in a different bottle altogether, but for the most part, Ansane shows you the vast international appeal of this 125-year-old beverage.
Let's face it -- everyone wants to travel the world, but many are held back by money, the daunting task, the inevitable obstacles and, well, life. But Ansane wasn't about to let that stop him from this creative and innovative quest. The trip wasn't without obstacles of course (he didn't end up getting to Japan due to the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year), not to mention some crazy debt he racked up! But he still maintains it was worth it -- I certainly dug watching it, for sure, and I think you will too. Check it out below:
Ansane created a Facebook page called “Reset, Live, Grow” which shows video clips from each country from the past year. He is also on Twitter at @Ansane where he has the conversation hashtag #CokeAroundTheWorld.
Now it just remains to be seen what the famous soft drink company will have to say about this...?
