A few years ago, buddies Mike, Brian, and nathan faced the end of college with the realization that, like many a college student, they had absolutely no idea what to do with their lives. Their solution: take a roadtrip and interview people from all walks of life to learn how they got where they are. Their mode of transporation: a clunky, 31-foot green motor home. Three months and 17,000 miles later, they'd met the CEO of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, the scientist who decoded the human genome, and the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. They'd talked to bookstore owners, filmmakers, artists, and more than 70 others who had found their callings-their "open roads."

Mike, Brian, and Nathan had found their mission: to help others define their own paths based on passion, individuality, and nonconformity. They titled the project Roadtrip Nation, made a documentary, created a TV show, wrote a book, and now send teams of students on roadtrips each summer. FINDING THE OPEN ROAD shows how you too can create a roadtrip experience to discover whether you're traveling down the right course in life. Through a step-by-step guide to planning your trip, a roadtrip journal that offers the personal perspective, and more than 50 interviews that describe how others found their true roads, this inspirational handbook offers a nation's worth of wisdom for anyone trying to find their own authentic path..

SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

“You should be a lawyer, a doctor, an accountant, a consultant, blah, blah, blah. Everywhere you turn people try to tell you who to be and what to do with your life. We call that the noise. Block it. Shed it. Leave it for the conformists As a generation, we need to get back to focusing on individuality Self-construction rather than mass production Define your own road in life instead of traveling down someone else’s. Listen to yourself. Your road is the open road. Find it.”
—Mike and Nathan

*****
After college Mike Marriner and Nathan Gebhard had no idea what to do with their lives. All they’d been exposed to were standard career paths like doctor and consultant—roads that didn’t fit them at all.

To see what else was out there they took a roadtrip across the nation in a huge forty-foot RV to meet with people who had successfully defined their own paths in life—including the chairman of Starbucks; a lobsterman from Maine; the director of Saturday Night Live; the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic; the first female Supreme Court Justice of the United States; head stylist for Madonna; and the CEO of National Geographic Ventures. All told, one hundred and forty people candidly shared their stories about how they got from college to the present. Now in Roadtrip Nation, Mike and Nathan share the most compelling tales with you.

Along the way, they explain how you, too, can get out there and meet people on your own. From making cold calls to asking stimulating interview questions, Roadtrip Nation will give you the tools to create a life that you’ll look back on and say: “I was true to myself every step of the way.”.

If you ever dreamed quitting your job and driving off to explore America's highways and back roads then read this diary first. On Columbus Day 1997, Priscilla and Ken Rhodes quit their jobs, bought a 30-foot RV (even though neither one knew the first thing about RVing), and drove off to discover America. Their plan was to see 50 states in 50 weeks, spending a week in each state, and returning to their jobs in a year. Three years later they returned home, broke but not broken. This is Priscilla's diary of that road trip, a madcap adventure that is both exciting and heartbreaking as she experiences the exhilarating heights and devastating depths of life on the road. Follow Priscilla and Ken on their three-year journey across the United States and see what they discover about America and about themselves. In Volume 1: NEW ENGLAND, NEW YORK AND THE GREAT NORTHERN STATES Priscilla and Ken visit Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, the "State of Anxiety," New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Washington, and Oregon..
