Roadtrip Nation Live: Veronica Belmont

Roadtrip Nation Live

It’s here! Our second Roadtrip Nation Live episode ever! (It’s kinda a big deal.)

 

Hannah, Jason (Ray is stepping out for this one, as he’s speaking at a commencement), and I will be sitting down with Tekzilla host (and avid gamer/social media guru) Veronica Belmont to find out how she defined her own Road in life.

 

Now, this is where you come in! We had such a blast with the first taping that now we want to open it to our local community to come and be a part of the Live audience!

Alumni Update: Lelia Lemghalef


The Roadtrip Nation philosophy is something everyone can relate to deep down. It’s truly an amazing project, and it certainly changed my experience forever.


As a Canadian, I had seen some of the U.S. before, like Cape Cod; Washington, D.C.; the Big Apple; Disney World; and Disneyland to be precise! And I had so been wanting to make a proper trip across the U.S. to get more familiar with it. I also happened to be in my last semester of university and about to step out onto the job market. One night in February 2006, totally out of the blue, Michael called me asking if I wanted to travel across the U.S. filming a documentary. Within two seconds, I said yes.

Stories that inspire me!

Hello! I wanted to share a video that has given me a spark of inspiration these past few days―you know the kind. Some of you may have seen this video on a Facebook feed, or on Good.is, so you will understand why this inspires me, and you will probably watch it again (for the fiftieth time).


If not, you’re in for a treat; maybe a little tear will trickle or a mini heart murmur will occur. Okay. I am saying too much.


Meet Caine.

Design-Inspired Graduation Gifts!

This post is dedicated to: The Return of Mad Men!


Q: Hey, Roadtrip Nation Design Team! My son/daughter/niece/nephew/friend is graduating from design school, and I have no idea what to get him/her as a gift. Whatever shall I do?


A: Don’t fret! We’re here to help! We’ve put together a guide of our favorite design-inspired gifts and resources to help your designer-to-be get on his or her feet in the design community—and get inspired!



Tawny:



Moleskine : I pretty much use Moleskine sketchbooks for everything, and every time I go to the art store I always see new Moleskine covers designed from different artists. I found this site where you can find all kinds of ideas to customize your ‘Skine! You can also find a lot of the designed Moleskines featured on their site. I love their design with the nifty pocket in the back panel as well as all the different sizes and styles. This is a perfect gift for your favorite doodler!

South by South West Friends!


Hello! Well, it’s been a solid week of recovering for Chrystal and I from the excitement and buzz of South by South West in Austin, Texas! We will have an edited video piece soon of the trip and the incredible people we met.


I was fortunate enough to spend some time with local Costa Mesa nonprofit Krochet Kids, which was at SXSW sharing the work they do with the women of Northern Uganda and Peru.

SXSW Insights

We’ve been learning so much out here at SXSW and meeting incredible people. We thought it would be fun to get some insights from the people here, so we asked a few folks this question: “Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 18-year-old self?”


Here are some of the answers we got.
