Cute story: Author visits every place called Aberdeen in the world

I can identify with this guy. When I was in my early twenties, I went to visit places just because of their name. I went on a bike tour to a remote village because it shared my last name (now my maiden name). Sometimes you just need the spark that gets you going, and you make a lot of other discoveries on the day!

From http://maysville-online.thimblemedia.com...&articleid=9645:
 
He found 34 villages named Aberdeen scattered across the world and then set out to visit as many as he could find.
Accompanied by filmmaker Alan White, Bull documented his travels by video. The 1-hour, 45-minute video covers Bull's journey to 28 Aberdeens around the world in a span of 16 weeks. In total, he traveled 95,438 miles.
In Kentucky, Bull said he met a man who asked him where he was from. 'I said 'Aberdeen,' and he replied, 'No you don't, I know everyone there,'' Bull said.
