Summer is here, which can only mean one thing: road trip!

You may be thinking about hitting the sweet highway, but odds are you won't come close to wearing down the tread on your tires as much as one couple did when they made the long, long trek from China to South Africa in 2010.

The couple captured footage from their encounters with all sorts of people in a whole slew of countries, ranging from Namibia to Egypt to India to Uzbekistan and all posts in between. They made a short film about their experiences and set it to music by Matisyahu.

At the conclusion of the video, the address for a website appears where people can learn more about the crew who's done time in the car that made the epic trip.

For all the troubling talk about international relations we see and hear on the news, this video is a refreshing slice of life and the good people we meet along the way.
