Road Trip Nation started with four friends and one question: "what do I want to do with my life?" Fresh out of college and unsure about the career paths in front of them, they were determined to expose themselves to more than just the traditional life roads. They hopped in an old RV, painted it green, and hit the road to talk with inspiring people from all walks of life to find out how they came to do what they love for a living. Today, Road Trip Nation has evolved into a PBS series, three books, an online community, and a student movement. RN sends people on the road who are interested in exploring the world outside their comfort zone, talking with individuals who chose to define their own road in life, and sharing their experiences with our generation.

Here are some examples of the kind of social activism that make this country so great. More...
