WHAT OTHERS SAY
Testimonials
“I went in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted to do and it has changed so much. Initially, I thought I had to do what would earn me the most money in the long run and now I am seeing how much more important it is to do something that is meaningful to me.“
Student
Valencia College Orlando, FL
“Roadtrip Nation impacted the students in my class by demonstrating that there are ways to research careers, passions, and interests while recognizing that you are not alone when you are not sure what the future holds. The experiences that RTN provides for students really helps open the door to their communities in ways in which they may not have thought of before. I love Roadtrip Nation and hope to continue to use it as part of my curriculum.“
Rob Camp, Teacher
Linn Benton Community College
“My students feel empowered by the lessons, and they look forward to challenging themselves to get out of their comfort zones. No longer is fear a valid excuse in our class, mainly because Roadtrip Nation provides countless examples of real success stories from people who conquered the same apprehension as my students. I also sense a purposefulness that my students have never exhibited at such a young age. They now understand that the process is far more profitable than the product – that learning a new skill is more valuable than gaining an accolade – that personal growth and discovery will most definitely lead them to a successful and fulfilled life. My students often refer back to their favorite RTN lessons, even as seniors.“
