All of them help to show Roadtrippers that there are thousands of ways to make a real difference in the world of clean energy—you just have to find the path that’s right for you.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">—\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information about the documentary, contact:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dan Ford \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">949-764-9121\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"mailto:dford@roadtripnation.org\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">dford@roadtripnation.org\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Roadtripper Bios\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>David\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">21, New York City, NY\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">David is finishing up his senior year at Columbia University and trying to figure out where to go next. He knows he ultimately wants to work in clean energy and is specifically interested in the intersection of computer science and sustainability. He’s currently drawn to the idea of making a positive difference by starting his career in a big tech company’s sustainability division. Still, he wants to make sure to explore every option available to him before he makes any big decisions about his post-grad path.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julia\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">23, New York, NY\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Julia just started working as an energy engineer, and she’s excited about her future in the industry. After studying mechanical engineering at Duke, she decided on a career in energy because she knew she wanted to be part of the mass transition to renewables over the coming decades. Since her career is still in its infancy, she’s hoping this trip helps her find a distinct niche where she can get hands-on with the technologies of the future. She knows this is a growing and innovative field, and she can’t wait to make her mark on it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Leila\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">19, Elmira, NY\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leila is just starting to explore the world of clean energy, but they’re feeling anxious about the urgency of this work. They want to see how they can overcome the anxiety and instead harness optimism as a tool to help get more people on board with the transition to renewables. Their interests include solar power, sustainable forestry, environmental justice, and city planning—and they’d ultimately love to combine them all by owning a plot of land and using it to feed, educate, and encourage the surrounding communities to live more sustainably. They hope this trip will introduce them to people who can show them how to make this dream happen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Featured Leaders and

Their interests include solar power, sustainable forestry, environmental justice, and city planning—and they’d ultimately love to combine them all by owning a plot of land and using it to feed, educate, and encourage the surrounding communities to live more sustainably.

Speaking with engineers, entrepreneurs, and more, the roadtrippers learn that when it comes to tech, it doesn’t matter where they plug in—just that they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">When most people think of innovative tech hubs, they’re more likely to picture Silicon Valley than a small town. But is it impossible to innovate outside the heart of a big city? In Roadtrip Nation’s new one-hour documentary, Small Town Tech, three young people from Yuma, Arizona, set out to explore what opportunities are available to them in their backyards and beyond. They speak to people who didn’t let the size of their hometown determine the boldness of their ambitions—and realize building a better future can just as easily start at home as in a thriving city center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Roadtrippers Ericka Amaya, Joccelyn Cardenas, and Anthony Brock each enjoy hands-on problem solving. Their next challenge is finding their place in the wide world of technology. 20-year-old Joccelyn (Jocey for short) wants to work in the gaming industry but doesn’t see much opportunity for coders or programmers in her area. Anthony, 20, dreams of one day owning his own tech shop, but hasn’t yet found a way to pay for college—and feels he’s reaching the limits of self-education. 18-year-old Ericka is proud to be from a small border town and wants to do something for her community, but is torn between pursuing cybersecurity, the medical field, or homeland security like her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Over two weeks and 1,500 miles, with featured stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Yuma, they interview people whose paths into tech began in, or led to, small towns. Speaking with everyone from software engineers and CEOs to medical professionals and game designers, the roadtrippers begin to see how expansive their paths can be despite any challenges they face. They hear from leaders who not only found ways to plug into tech industries, but did so as immigrants, first-generation college students, or women in male-dominated fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Catalina Laverde, a backend software engineer at Spotify, grew up in Colombia and immigrated to the U.S. when she was 18 years old. She learned English and studied at community college before transferring to a four-year university to study computer science. “Believing in yourself, being your own advocate, won’t be easy,” she says. “You won’t know everything. But you’ve got to stretch. Embrace those challenges, because they’re going to make you who you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Embracing challenges is a common theme as the roadtrippers talk to leaders like Isis Anchalee, the founder of the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag promoting diversity in the industry; Angelica Inguanzo, a frontend engineer at YouTube bringing the platform to a wider audience; and Raza Ahmad, a narrative creator bringing his gameplay ideas to augmented reality games like Pokémon Go and Ingress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Along the journey, Ericka, Anthony, and Jocey begin to see that their worries about finding a place to apply themselves can be relieved by the very interests that drive them. Technology allows people to work across time and space; its applications are endless—and, as the roadtrippers learn, no one is too far out of range to make a living doing what they love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10259\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Joccelyn\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From San Luis, AZ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joccelyn’s favorite subject in school was always math, but she wasn’t sure about studying it in college.

And he has so many interests, he’s not sure which to choose: satellites, 3-D modeling, computer science, and more. One possible route is the military, but until he decides for sure, he’s uncertain of his next move. Most of all, he’s looking for a community that will support him as he finds his focus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ericka\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 18\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From San Luis, AZ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ericka is excited to explore all kinds of fields, from law enforcement to cybersecurity to medical and agricultural technology.

Speaking with engineers, entrepreneurs, and more, the roadtrippers learn that when it comes to tech, it doesn’t matter where they plug in—just that they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">When most people think of innovative tech hubs, they’re more likely to picture Silicon Valley than a small town. But is it impossible to innovate outside the heart of a big city? In Roadtrip Nation’s new one-hour documentary, Small Town Tech, three young people from Yuma, Arizona, set out to explore what opportunities are available to them in their backyards and beyond. They speak to people who didn’t let the size of their hometown determine the boldness of their ambitions—and realize building a better future can just as easily start at home as in a thriving city center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Roadtrippers Ericka Amaya, Joccelyn Cardenas, and Anthony Brock each enjoy hands-on problem solving. Their next challenge is finding their place in the wide world of technology. 20-year-old Joccelyn (Jocey for short) wants to work in the gaming industry but doesn’t see much opportunity for coders or programmers in her area. Anthony, 20, dreams of one day owning his own tech shop, but hasn’t yet found a way to pay for college—and feels he’s reaching the limits of self-education. 18-year-old Ericka is proud to be from a small border town and wants to do something for her community, but is torn between pursuing cybersecurity, the medical field, or homeland security like her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Over two weeks and 1,500 miles, with featured stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Yuma, they interview people whose paths into tech began in, or led to, small towns. Speaking with everyone from software engineers and CEOs to medical professionals and game designers, the roadtrippers begin to see how expansive their paths can be despite any challenges they face. They hear from leaders who not only found ways to plug into tech industries, but did so as immigrants, first-generation college students, or women in male-dominated fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Catalina Laverde, a backend software engineer at Spotify, grew up in Colombia and immigrated to the U.S. when she was 18 years old. She learned English and studied at community college before transferring to a four-year university to study computer science. “Believing in yourself, being your own advocate, won’t be easy,” she says. “You won’t know everything. But you’ve got to stretch. Embrace those challenges, because they’re going to make you who you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Embracing challenges is a common theme as the roadtrippers talk to leaders like Isis Anchalee, the founder of the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag promoting diversity in the industry; Angelica Inguanzo, a frontend engineer at YouTube bringing the platform to a wider audience; and Raza Ahmad, a narrative creator bringing his gameplay ideas to augmented reality games like Pokémon Go and Ingress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Along the journey, Ericka, Anthony, and Jocey begin to see that their worries about finding a place to apply themselves can be relieved by the very interests that drive them. Technology allows people to work across time and space; its applications are endless—and, as the roadtrippers learn, no one is too far out of range to make a living doing what they love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10259\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/07/IMG_5663-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Joccelyn\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From San Luis, AZ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joccelyn’s favorite subject in school was always math, but she wasn’t sure about studying it in college.

He knows that now, because in his teens, he faced his biggest turning point, and made it through. For his whole life, his parents struggled with drugs, but when he was 15, both of his parents were arrested, and the next year, his father died of an overdose. Surviving that time and getting to college has given him a different perspective on the programs and policies politicians talk about. That’s why he’s majoring in political science at Marshall University. Born and raised in the heart of coal country in West Virginia, Ikie wants to get into politics to help start conversations and do something about the problems he sees at home. On this trip, he’s looking for inspiration from others who have come from small towns and gone on to make big changes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10103\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Esther O’Brien\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age 19\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Brookfield, WI\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Esther, theater was always a way to escape what was happening at home. And even when home changed, as she moved from an abusive household and bounced through the foster system, her love of acting persisted. At 13, when she and her brother were adopted into a big family, she gained 19 new brothers and sisters and a world of support. But every day is still a battle, even with her family by her side. The challenges she’s faced have made her stronger, and she’s determined not to let them limit her--or her opportunities. Theater, once an escape, is now her focus, along with elementary education. She’s planning on studying both next year at the University of Wisconsin—Stevens Point. That’s why she wants to see how others pursued many passions and reached their goals, so she can learn and grow from their stories.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Media Contact:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loureen Ayyoub, \u003ca href=\"mailto:loureen@roadtripnation.com\">loureen@roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nChristina Reagan, \u003ca href=\"mailto:creagan@kqed.org\">creagan@kqed.org\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for Roadtrip Nation: Beating the Odds is made possible by: ACT Learning for Equity in Learning\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Websites and Social Media\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Website:\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-admin/_wp_link_placeholder\"> roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEducation Site: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.org\">roadtripnation.org\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/RoadtripNation\">twitter.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"http://facebook.com/RoadtripNation\">facebook.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYouTube: \u003ca href=\"http://youtube.com/roadtripnation\">youtube.com/roadtripnation\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About APT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cu>American Public Television \u003c/u>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>(APT) is the leading syndicator of high-quality, top-rated programming to the nation’s public television stations.

Even through the stress of paying for school, the hard work is worth it if she can help other kids like her find that spark to become who they are, too.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10102\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1601a.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">James “Ikie” Brooks\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age 21\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Boone County, WV\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There’s nothing that can keep me down, says Ikie. He knows that now, because in his teens, he faced his biggest turning point, and made it through. For his whole life, his parents struggled with drugs, but when he was 15, both of his parents were arrested, and the next year, his father died of an overdose. Surviving that time and getting to college has given him a different perspective on the programs and policies politicians talk about. That’s why he’s majoring in political science at Marshall University. Born and raised in the heart of coal country in West Virginia, Ikie wants to get into politics to help start conversations and do something about the problems he sees at home. On this trip, he’s looking for inspiration from others who have come from small towns and gone on to make big changes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10103\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2018/02/IMG_1626a.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Esther O’Brien\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age 19\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Brookfield, WI\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Esther, theater was always a way to escape what was happening at home. And even when home changed, as she moved from an abusive household and bounced through the foster system, her love of acting persisted. At 13, when she and her brother were adopted into a big family, she gained 19 new brothers and sisters and a world of support. But every day is still a battle, even with her family by her side. The challenges she’s faced have made her stronger, and she’s determined not to let them limit her--or her opportunities. Theater, once an escape, is now her focus, along with elementary education. She’s planning on studying both next year at the University of Wisconsin—Stevens Point. That’s why she wants to see how others pursued many passions and reached their goals, so she can learn and grow from their stories.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Media Contact:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loureen Ayyoub, \u003ca href=\"mailto:loureen@roadtripnation.com\">loureen@roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nChristina Reagan, \u003ca href=\"mailto:creagan@kqed.org\">creagan@kqed.org\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for Roadtrip Nation: Beating the Odds is made possible by: ACT Learning for Equity in Learning\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Websites and Social Media\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Website:\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-admin/_wp_link_placeholder\"> roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEducation Site: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.org\">roadtripnation.org\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/RoadtripNation\">twitter.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"http://facebook.com/RoadtripNation\">facebook.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYouTube: \u003ca href=\"http://youtube.com/roadtripnation\">youtube.com/roadtripnation\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About APT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cu>American Public Television \u003c/u>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>(APT) is the leading syndicator of high-quality, top-rated programming to the nation’s public television stations.

Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.

Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests.

Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.

Determined to dismantle the marginalization that afflicts many urban populations, he seeks to channel his passion for community activism into a socially impactful path. 29-year-old Olivia experienced a stifling small town upbringing that made it difficult for her to express herself as a gay woman.

Ed, a recent college graduate from the small town of Colchester, England, is stagnating in a dead-end job and living with his parents. Determined to branch out of his hometown, he hopes this trip will give him the confidence to pursue broader possibilities. Tele’jon, an 18-year-old from violence-plagued Oakland, CA, seeks to channel his passion for community activism into a socially impactful career. 29-year-old Olivia left a stifling small town upbringing to join the Air Force and explore the world. Now looking to settle down, she hopes to blend her interests of sustainable farming and community-building into a satisfying livelihood. After meeting each other in San Francisco, the team hops aboard Roadtrip Nation’s iconic green RV and travels to Santa Cruz, CA. There, they interview climbing instructor Jakob Laggner, who left a traditional desk job to found Treks and Tracks, a company that leads outdoor expeditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1102: Mark Your Thresholds \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers’ search for wisdom continues in San Francisco where they interview Roy Remer, a volunteer coordinator at the Zen Hospice Project, who uses Buddhist principles to serve the emotional needs of the terminally ill. Roy reflects on the difficulty of letting go, and encourages the road-trippers to practice saying goodbye to the various stages of life in order to grow into the next version of themselves. Next, the team heads down to Southern California to talk the importance of culture with Omar Cardenas, a youth organizer for the Children’s Defense Fund. Omar’s personal transformation from troubled high school dropout to empowering mentor inspires Tele’jon, who aspires to do similar work. Later, the road-trippers arrive at the doorstep of Ian Harvie, a transgendered stand-up comedian whose self-deprecating brand of humor hilariously tackles issues of gender identity and societal expectations. Ian discusses his challenge-filled journey of self-acceptance, stirring up powerful emotions in Olivia. The road-trippers leave the interview feeling more resolute in their identities and determined to live their lives in a way that’s true to themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1103: Going With the Flow\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Against a backdrop of sweeping sand and swaying palm trees, the road-trippers make their way to Palm Springs to interview NASA engineer Adam Steltzner. Adam boasts an impressive resume that includes directing the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars, but describes an unlikely sequence of life events that led him to where he is: He was a terrible student in school, isn’t sure whether he graduated high school, and spent years aimlessly playing in bands, unaware that the Earth rotates on an axis. A fateful night looking up at the stars eventually kindled his interest in science, but his circuitous path teaches the road-trippers that it’s always possible to alter your trajectory. Later, in Taos, New Mexico, the team meets with Sherry Grathler, a river guide who backed out of a career in law to pursue the outdoors. Sherry discusses the challenges of defying societal expectations, and leads the road-trippers through a whitewater rapid excursion down the Rio Grande that teaches them the importance of going with the flow of life. Outside of their comfort zones but heartened by their new experiences, the road-trippers finish the week deep in the heart of Texas at a festive Fourth of July celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1104: Find Your People\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers meander through the South, eventually stopping in Louisiana, where they take an airboat tour through the swamps of Lafitte. The team is surprised to learn that their boat operator is also an alligator wrestler whose involvement with the sport is rooted in a Native American tradition that dates back hundreds of years. From there, the team heads to New Orleans where their interviews expose them to a range of individuals—including a chef, a graphic designer, and a veterinarian at a chimpanzee sanctuary—who represent the diverse influences and perspectives that make New Orleans so unique. Moving onto St. Louis, the team participates in a Zombie Fun Run and Olivia reflects on her affinity for life on the road, noting her appreciation for the way that traveling shakes you out of your habits. A long stint of driving lands the team in Washington D.C. where they interview Ben Drexler, a former non-profit professional who left a traditional 9-5 to become a poi (fire) spinner. Ben tasks the road-trippers with finding their own unique niches that allow them to express themselves. Feeling inspired, Ed and Tele’jon both give fire spinning a whirl, finding liberation in confronting their fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1105: Connect the Dots\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halfway through the journey, we find the road-trippers in Washington D.C., where they interview Brittan Heller, a human rights attorney. Brittan explains her \"connect-by-dots\" approach to career-building, which starts off with knowing what you’re passionate about and taking small steps grounded in conviction. This philosophy echoes with Ed, who realizes that every experience has the potential to shape him—regardless if he knows his final destination. Moving onto Philadelphia, the Roadtrippers interview Sal Donato, a racecar mechanic who owns his own shop. As a first-generation American, Sal exudes a hard-working, up-by-the-bootstraps mentality, which Olivia can relate to as the daughter of immigrants. Olivia leaves the interview inspired by Sal’s success story and the unquestionable joy he derives from his work. Later, after stopping to enjoy Philly Cheesesteaks, the team interviews Christine Borelli and Stacey Cruise, two women who revitalized a crime-ridden school by using compassion instead of punishment. Tele’jon is particularly moved by the school’s transformation and leaves the conversation feeling fired up about creating institutional change in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1106: Do It Now\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York City, the 36-foot RV wearily trundles through the city’s narrow streets, and the team miraculously finds a parking spot for their home in record time. Leaving behind their goliath transportation for a few hours, the road-trippers opt for a new method of travel: the subway. As they explore the city, Manhattan seems larger than life to Ed, whose small-town English upbringing has never brought him face-to-face with a bustling American city. After taking in the sights, the road-trippers meet Staceyann Chin, a spoken word artist and LGBT rights activist. Staceyann delves into her past and opens up about her rough upbringing, during which she was abandoned by her mother and sexually assaulted. Reflecting on the effects of traumatic life events, Staceyann notes that while these events will always remain a deep scar, they can also be harnessed for positivity—after all, it was her tumultuous childhood that compelled her to move to NYC and discover the outlet of poetry. Closing out the conversation, she encourages the road-trippers to feed their spirits, take risks, and make the most of their youth. Inspired by Staceyann’s urgings, the road-trippers decide to abandon their inhibitions and take a leap of their own. Driving to the coast, they plunge into the Atlantic and swim around in the pouring rain, truly soaking up the fleeting nature of the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1107: Rounding the Bend\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers reach Long Island, NY, home of writer Beverly Donofrio. Beverly recounts a long list of personal failures—getting put in remedial English, a failed thesis, a lost job—between bouts of reflective laughter. You have to laugh, she tells the road-trippers, and thrive from adversity; take a real look at the opportunities that are presented to you, and say yes as often as you can. From there, the road-trippers head to Detroit, MI, where they encounter one of the renegade artists who are taking back the city. Spoken word poet Airea Dee Matthews urges the road-trippers to find rebirth in collapse; in the mostly abandoned city, the artists of Detroit don’t see decay, but possibility. The road-trippers see the decay for themselves when they tour an abandoned building and experience the sense of freedom and energy that drives the artists’ push for regeneration. Next, in Chicago, IL, Tele’jon struggles to reconcile his mentors’ suggestions that he become a professor with his disaffection for the educational system. After interviewing Professor David Stovall, Tele’jon sees that David shares his concerns about access and privilege, and uses his position to create change. Tele’jon leaves the interview feeling more confident that he’ll go back to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1108: The Long Road Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 34 interviews and several thousand miles on the odometer, it’s the end of the road and the road-trippers have one interview left. In Milwaukee, WI, they interview Will Allen, founder and CEO of Growing Power, a nonprofit that proves local food systems can create jobs, improve the health of the community, fight racism, and bring urban and rural communities together. Will shares his journey from sharecroppers’ son to basketball player and back to farming and growing food. He poses a question—how do you stay energized?—and answers that you have to be passionate, and have the patience to put in the hard work to truly reach that point where the hours fly by. As the road-trippers get back on the road home, they reflect on the stories and lessons from the road. Tele’jon follows the common threads that connect the leaders’ experiences and truly understands what it means to say that everything is possible. Olivia has newfound confidence that you can’t make mistakes—there’s no wrong thing you can do, so do everything. Ed vows to leave his safety net and come to the edge and jump. “I’ve found a new world and a new way of living,” he says, “and I like it.” At the airport, Olivia, Tele’jon, and Ed say their last goodbyes and move ahead, determined to take advantage of everything the road has shown them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About Roadtrip Nation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roadtrip Nation started in 2001 when three friends fresh out of college weren't sure what to do with their lives. Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.

By speaking with accomplished professionals who have turned their passions into careers, the road-trippers gain a framework for building their own fulfilling livelihoods and are inspired to take the next steps to make their ambitions a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band of motley travelers all hail from distinctly different backgrounds, but are united by their mission to learn from those who have gone before them. Ed is a 22-year-old recent college grad from the quaint town of Colchester, England. Stagnating in a dead-end job and living with his parents, he hopes this trip will give him the confidence to branch outside his bubble and pursue broader opportunities. Tele'job, a recent high school graduate, grew up in notoriously dangerous Oakland, California. Determined to dismantle the marginalization that afflicts many urban populations, he seeks to channel his passion for community activism into a socially impactful path. 29-year-old Olivia experienced a stifling small town upbringing that made it difficult for her to express herself as a gay woman. A stint in the Air Force provided the exploration she hankered for, but she's now focused on finding a career that speaks to her interests in community and sustainable agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout over 20 powerful interviews, the road-trippers hear perspective-shifting advice from a wide range of interviewees, including: human rights attorney Brittan Heller, spoken word poet and activist Staceyann Chin, educational policy professor David Stovall, whitewater rafting guide Sherry Grathler, and Adam Steltzner, a \u003cstrong>NASA\u003c/strong> engineer who directed the landing of the \u003cem>Curiosity\u003c/em> rover on Mars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The philosophy that drives \u003cstrong>Roadtrip Nation\u003c/strong> is the search for individuals who have followed their interests and become successful by carving out their own paths.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Media Contact\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Christina Mitchell, \u003ca title=\"blocked::mailto:christina@roadtripnation.com\" href=\"mailto:christina@roadtripnation.com\">christina@roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Funding\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Season eleven of \u003cstrong>Roadtrip Nation\u003c/strong> is made possibly by AT&T, Hobsons, University of Phoenix Foundation and The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Websites and Social Media\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch4>Website: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.com\" target=\"_blank\">roadtripnation.com\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEducation Site: \u003ca href=\"http://roadtripnation.org\" target=\"_blank\">roadtripnation.org\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitter.com/RoadtripNation\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/RoadtripNation\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com/RoadtripNation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYouTube: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/roadtripnation\" target=\"_blank\">youtube.com/roadtripnation\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nRoadtrip Nation 11 - \u003ca title=\"Roadtrip Nation 11 - Member Guide Article\" href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pressroom/files/2014/05/Roadtrip-Nation-11_Member-Guide-Article.pdf\">Member Guide Article\u003c/a> (pdf)\u003cbr>\nRoadtrip Nation 11 - \u003ca title=\"Roadtrip Nation 11 - Social Media Toolkit\" href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pressroom/files/2014/05/Roadtrip-Nation-11_Social-Media-Kit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Social Media Toolkit\u003c/a> (pdf)\u003c/h4>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Season 11 Episode Descriptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1101: Climbing Out of the Safety Net\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsure what to do with their lives and seeking wisdom from others, a team of young adults sets off on a cross-country road trip to interview professionals in diverse careers who can provide insight on building a fulfilling life. Ed, a recent college graduate from the small town of Colchester, England, is stagnating in a dead-end job and living with his parents. Determined to branch out of his hometown, he hopes this trip will give him the confidence to pursue broader possibilities. Tele’jon, an 18-year-old from violence-plagued Oakland, CA, seeks to channel his passion for community activism into a socially impactful career. 29-year-old Olivia left a stifling small town upbringing to join the Air Force and explore the world. Now looking to settle down, she hopes to blend her interests of sustainable farming and community-building into a satisfying livelihood. After meeting each other in San Francisco, the team hops aboard Roadtrip Nation’s iconic green RV and travels to Santa Cruz, CA. There, they interview climbing instructor Jakob Laggner, who left a traditional desk job to found Treks and Tracks, a company that leads outdoor expeditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1102: Mark Your Thresholds \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers’ search for wisdom continues in San Francisco where they interview Roy Remer, a volunteer coordinator at the Zen Hospice Project, who uses Buddhist principles to serve the emotional needs of the terminally ill. Roy reflects on the difficulty of letting go, and encourages the road-trippers to practice saying goodbye to the various stages of life in order to grow into the next version of themselves. Next, the team heads down to Southern California to talk the importance of culture with Omar Cardenas, a youth organizer for the Children’s Defense Fund. Omar’s personal transformation from troubled high school dropout to empowering mentor inspires Tele’jon, who aspires to do similar work. Later, the road-trippers arrive at the doorstep of Ian Harvie, a transgendered stand-up comedian whose self-deprecating brand of humor hilariously tackles issues of gender identity and societal expectations. Ian discusses his challenge-filled journey of self-acceptance, stirring up powerful emotions in Olivia. The road-trippers leave the interview feeling more resolute in their identities and determined to live their lives in a way that’s true to themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1103: Going With the Flow\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Against a backdrop of sweeping sand and swaying palm trees, the road-trippers make their way to Palm Springs to interview NASA engineer Adam Steltzner. Adam boasts an impressive resume that includes directing the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars, but describes an unlikely sequence of life events that led him to where he is: He was a terrible student in school, isn’t sure whether he graduated high school, and spent years aimlessly playing in bands, unaware that the Earth rotates on an axis. A fateful night looking up at the stars eventually kindled his interest in science, but his circuitous path teaches the road-trippers that it’s always possible to alter your trajectory. Later, in Taos, New Mexico, the team meets with Sherry Grathler, a river guide who backed out of a career in law to pursue the outdoors. Sherry discusses the challenges of defying societal expectations, and leads the road-trippers through a whitewater rapid excursion down the Rio Grande that teaches them the importance of going with the flow of life. Outside of their comfort zones but heartened by their new experiences, the road-trippers finish the week deep in the heart of Texas at a festive Fourth of July celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1104: Find Your People\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers meander through the South, eventually stopping in Louisiana, where they take an airboat tour through the swamps of Lafitte. The team is surprised to learn that their boat operator is also an alligator wrestler whose involvement with the sport is rooted in a Native American tradition that dates back hundreds of years. From there, the team heads to New Orleans where their interviews expose them to a range of individuals—including a chef, a graphic designer, and a veterinarian at a chimpanzee sanctuary—who represent the diverse influences and perspectives that make New Orleans so unique. Moving onto St. Louis, the team participates in a Zombie Fun Run and Olivia reflects on her affinity for life on the road, noting her appreciation for the way that traveling shakes you out of your habits. A long stint of driving lands the team in Washington D.C. where they interview Ben Drexler, a former non-profit professional who left a traditional 9-5 to become a poi (fire) spinner. Ben tasks the road-trippers with finding their own unique niches that allow them to express themselves. Feeling inspired, Ed and Tele’jon both give fire spinning a whirl, finding liberation in confronting their fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1105: Connect the Dots\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halfway through the journey, we find the road-trippers in Washington D.C., where they interview Brittan Heller, a human rights attorney. Brittan explains her \"connect-by-dots\" approach to career-building, which starts off with knowing what you’re passionate about and taking small steps grounded in conviction. This philosophy echoes with Ed, who realizes that every experience has the potential to shape him—regardless if he knows his final destination. Moving onto Philadelphia, the Roadtrippers interview Sal Donato, a racecar mechanic who owns his own shop. As a first-generation American, Sal exudes a hard-working, up-by-the-bootstraps mentality, which Olivia can relate to as the daughter of immigrants. Olivia leaves the interview inspired by Sal’s success story and the unquestionable joy he derives from his work. Later, after stopping to enjoy Philly Cheesesteaks, the team interviews Christine Borelli and Stacey Cruise, two women who revitalized a crime-ridden school by using compassion instead of punishment. Tele’jon is particularly moved by the school’s transformation and leaves the conversation feeling fired up about creating institutional change in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1106: Do It Now\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York City, the 36-foot RV wearily trundles through the city’s narrow streets, and the team miraculously finds a parking spot for their home in record time. Leaving behind their goliath transportation for a few hours, the road-trippers opt for a new method of travel: the subway. As they explore the city, Manhattan seems larger than life to Ed, whose small-town English upbringing has never brought him face-to-face with a bustling American city. After taking in the sights, the road-trippers meet Staceyann Chin, a spoken word artist and LGBT rights activist. Staceyann delves into her past and opens up about her rough upbringing, during which she was abandoned by her mother and sexually assaulted. Reflecting on the effects of traumatic life events, Staceyann notes that while these events will always remain a deep scar, they can also be harnessed for positivity—after all, it was her tumultuous childhood that compelled her to move to NYC and discover the outlet of poetry. Closing out the conversation, she encourages the road-trippers to feed their spirits, take risks, and make the most of their youth. Inspired by Staceyann’s urgings, the road-trippers decide to abandon their inhibitions and take a leap of their own. Driving to the coast, they plunge into the Atlantic and swim around in the pouring rain, truly soaking up the fleeting nature of the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1107: Rounding the Bend\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road-trippers reach Long Island, NY, home of writer Beverly Donofrio. Beverly recounts a long list of personal failures—getting put in remedial English, a failed thesis, a lost job—between bouts of reflective laughter. You have to laugh, she tells the road-trippers, and thrive from adversity; take a real look at the opportunities that are presented to you, and say yes as often as you can. From there, the road-trippers head to Detroit, MI, where they encounter one of the renegade artists who are taking back the city. Spoken word poet Airea Dee Matthews urges the road-trippers to find rebirth in collapse; in the mostly abandoned city, the artists of Detroit don’t see decay, but possibility. The road-trippers see the decay for themselves when they tour an abandoned building and experience the sense of freedom and energy that drives the artists’ push for regeneration. Next, in Chicago, IL, Tele’jon struggles to reconcile his mentors’ suggestions that he become a professor with his disaffection for the educational system. After interviewing Professor David Stovall, Tele’jon sees that David shares his concerns about access and privilege, and uses his position to create change. Tele’jon leaves the interview feeling more confident that he’ll go back to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>#1108: The Long Road Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 34 interviews and several thousand miles on the odometer, it’s the end of the road and the road-trippers have one interview left. In Milwaukee, WI, they interview Will Allen, founder and CEO of Growing Power, a nonprofit that proves local food systems can create jobs, improve the health of the community, fight racism, and bring urban and rural communities together. Will shares his journey from sharecroppers’ son to basketball player and back to farming and growing food. He poses a question—how do you stay energized?—and answers that you have to be passionate, and have the patience to put in the hard work to truly reach that point where the hours fly by. As the road-trippers get back on the road home, they reflect on the stories and lessons from the road. Tele’jon follows the common threads that connect the leaders’ experiences and truly understands what it means to say that everything is possible. Olivia has newfound confidence that you can’t make mistakes—there’s no wrong thing you can do, so do everything. Ed vows to leave his safety net and come to the edge and jump. “I’ve found a new world and a new way of living,” he says, “and I like it.” At the airport, Olivia, Tele’jon, and Ed say their last goodbyes and move ahead, determined to take advantage of everything the road has shown them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About Roadtrip Nation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roadtrip Nation started in 2001 when three friends fresh out of college weren't sure what to do with their lives. Their solution? To road-trip around the country and ask people who do what they love how they got to where they are today. What started as a road trip sparked an annual documentary series, a number of books, online tools, and an educational organization—all dedicated to helping individuals define their own roads in life. In 2009, Roadtrip Nation expanded into education with the creation of The Roadtrip Nation Experience, a project-based self-discovery curriculum designed to help students explore their identities and find careers aligned with their interests. Today, Roadtrip Nation continues to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love.
