Season Two of Roadtrip Nation to Re-Air on Public Television

COSTA MESA, CALIF. (January 13, 2011) — Roadtrip Nation, along with KQED and American Public Television, will be re-releasing Season Two of Roadtrip Nation, a documentary series airing on public television stations across the country.

In 12 episodes and in more than 30 interviews, Roadtrip Nation: Season Two follows nine students who hit the road in three of Roadtrip Nation’s notorious Green RVs and travel coast-to- coast to actively participate in defining their futures—while also empowering its viewers to do the same. Along the way, the three teams of Roadtrippers will hear from inspiring leaders about the passions that drove them, the fears that they faced, and the steps that they took to define their own roads in life.

Several of the leaders featured in Season Two are: Richard Woolcott, the co-founder of skateboarding clothing company Volcom; Gabriel Garcia, an independent filmmaker; Tina Nenoff, an environmental scientist; My Harrison, a section chief for the FBI; and Atoosa Rubenstein, the editor in chief of Seventeen magazine.

The philosophy that drives Roadtrip Nation is the search for eclectic individuals who have resisted pressures to conform and who have become successful by following their own paths. This movement has spawned this fast-moving, free-spirited documentary series that follows the adventures and discoveries of roadtripping students as they cross the nation in search of enlightenment.

About Roadtrip Nation

In the summer of 2001, three friends decided to take a Roadtrip to seek their place in the world. The idea behind the Roadtrip was simple: If you don’t know what to do with your life, talk to people who are doing what they love, then ask them how they got there. The trio hit the road in a mechanically unsound Green RV, and three months and 17,000 miles later, had interviewed 85 eclectic individuals.

Since then, Roadtrip Nation has evolved into a movement to help individuals define their own roads in life: Including seven seasons on public television, three books, an online community, and a student network on more than 350 campuses.

In 2009, the movement expanded into education with the creation of RoadtripNation.org and the development of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a hands-on, engaging curriculum that guides students through an explorative process to learn about pathways relevant to their own individuality.

Roadtrip Nation is dedicated to inspiring people everywhere to create lives based on doing what they love. For more information, visit roadtripnation.com and roadtripnation.org.
