How to hitchhike across the US in 162 seconds [Video]

How do you condense a year of hitchhiking around the US into 162 seconds?

Well, if your name is Benjamin Jenks, you take a load of photos, making sure your camera is at exactly the same angle for each one, stitch them all together and set it to a funky dance beat.

It’s sort of like one of those videos that were really popular a couple of years back. You know, the kind that had someone taking a photo of themselves in exactly the same sport for three years. The difference is, this is a lot more dynamic and, dare I say it, a lot more fun.

According to Jenks, the video took three months to shoot and two years to create.

He used a Nikkon d70 to document his trip, which saw him cover 5 000 miles (8 047km) and meet 930 people.

The travel bug seems to have bitten Jenks hard, as he has a whole load of other travel videos.
