Statement

The topic for my capstone project is creating the perfect post grad road trip with two of my close friends. When preparing for this class I along with my friends started to think of all the places that we've dreamt of visiting. We've always joked about taking spontaneous road trips in the middle of a semester or renting an RV and driving across the country to go see the salt flats out in Utah, but it always felt out of reach. We're always daydreaming and seemed to never have enough time to sit down and map out a route, figure out how much it would cost or figure out what cities we wanted to go to. So that's exactly what I did, I sat down and planned this whole road trip with the help of my friends. The goal of this road trip was to create the most fun, budget friendly, covid save, road trip possible. A set of brochures go into detail about the decisions we had to make in regard to lodging, food, transportation and the itinerary we chose for each major city we plan visit.
