Matthew McConaughey’s Weird, Wild Travels

Dec 22, 2008 at 3:30pm

Matthew McConaughey is really getting around these days, and he wants his fans to know all about it.

The 39-year-old actor—who along with his girlfriend, Brazilian model Camila Alves, welcomed son Levi Alves McConaughey into the world in July—has posted a free-wheeling travelogue on his MySpace celebrity page, detailing his recent bout of wanderlust.

“Hey all, back on the west coast after some incredible travels…cool inspirations seen and done via the road and had some real just keep livin (jkl) moments along the way,” begins the post, which includes a pic of McConaughey and his brood.

“I spent my 39th birthday on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon…almost got ‘butted’ off the edge by a ram and caught some shooting stars,” McConaughey continues. “As for the first sight of the GC, mother nature created something that looks so fake, its real….cool.”

Whoa; that’s far-out, daddy-o! Tell us more—like, perhaps, about your sojourn in your girlfriend’s homeland!

“I went to Brazil for the first time to visit my lady’s family and tour the land a bit,” the ab-tastic thespian reveals. “Found a very proud and happy culture there. We ate, we drank, we danced, and they tolerated my stumbling through the Portuguese language….I will return, beautiful country, beautiful and classy people…thanks Brazil…cool.”

Way groovy, man! It’s good to hear that McConaughey made it back in one piece—and that his Brazilian excursion went a lot more smoothly than his last trip abroad.
