RoadTrip Nation – Define Your Road in Life!

Tuesday, Oct 16, 9:00am-3:00pm

Location: Look for the giant Green RV on the west side of the UMC!

Roadtrip Nation empowers you to define your own road in life instead of traveling down someone else's.

Engage in self-construction, rather than mass production. Be proactive and actively participate in defining your future by hitting the road and learning from Leaders who have resisted The Noise of conformity and stayed true to themselves.

Our philosophy is that when we listen to ourselves and are honest about who we are, and what we love, we are able to seek our own path and contribute to the world with our unique talents. We believe that by helping others discover their own paths, there will be a significant positive change in the world—the world needs people in tune with who they are and what they care about.



Stop in and meet 4 Roadies – learn about their travels, the interesting people they are meeting, and what they hope to do from here!

·         Mateo (Sociology Major, Cal State Long Beach) – interested in social work/urban planning/teaching/writing. Why is he on the road with RTN? Hated his corporate job. Needed reflection time to think about the path he was taking.

·         Jamie (English Major, UC Irvine) – interested in teaching high school English & vintage shop owner. Why is he on the road with RTN? To grow from new experiences, challenge herself, and travel & nourish her curiosity.

·         Megan (Elementary Educ, Bucknell University) – interested in teaching. Why is she on the road with RTN? To expose herself to new places & new people and see what happens.

Meet the RoadTrip Nation Roadies at 4:00pm in C4C, Room S350 - see some footage from their PBS series. The RTN Roadies will talk about their experiences from the road, and will answer questions about how CU students can get involved. Check out their video: http://vimeo.com/50164815
