A man, a Vespa, 49 States, 8 Canadian provinces and a personal mission to spread kindness, compassion and volunteerism. This documentary chronicles the experiences of Peter Ramstine “Matua” as he makes his way through Utah, Wyoming and Colorado, a small part of his 40,000-mile long journey.
“I want to inspire people to reach-out to their neighbors. Not the neighbors they know, but the ones they don’t know. I want to inspire people to stop by ‘that soup kitchen‘ they’re always passing by. I want to inspire people to do ‘that thing‘ they’ve ‘always wished they could do.”
“Moreover, I’m doing Vespadition because I’m personally tired of talking-the-talk without walking-the-walk. I’m fed up with watching things happen and complaining about them without doing anything meaningful to change it. I’m doing it because I’m tired of being sad at the sight of some of the things I see going on in this world. I’m doing it because I’ve decided simply that I must.”
“I’m doing Vespadition to do it. To be kind. To be compassionate. To volunteer to help-out wherever I can to help make even the slightest, smallest difference.”

I'm sad to report this fellow Peter / Mauta is not who he represented himself to be. The trip has been terminated.

Wow, this story has taken an amazing turn! Turns out Peter may not be who he says he is.
I hope Maggie continues to follow this story as it develops.-

Maggie..what an awesome video. You caught the essence of what Vespadition started out to be. Peter did touch many people in a positive way, unfortunately what will be remembered is how the trip ended, not the hope with which it began.
