Man travels the world giving free hugs

One man is bringing smiles to many people around the world.

Dan Sylvester, also known as the human high five, started making it his mission to heal those affected by tragedy.

Sylvester began spreading love after his friend died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. He biked across three continents, volunteering at charities along the way.

Now he has made his way to Las Vegas, hugging victims of last months deadly shooting.

Sylvester said he's planning a similar trip to Sutherland Spring, Texas to help bring smiles to the faces of the people who lost so much.
