In Roadtrip Nation: Season 3, three teams of students from the UK, Canada, and America traveled across the country in three green RV's, meeting with individuals from all walks of life along the way to ask them how they got to where they are today. All of them shared their stories of where they were at in their early 20s and how they stayed true to themselves while setting out to define their own roads in life. Contrary to what they had learned from academia and society, the students found out that nobody had it all mapped out in their early 20s. Everyone wandered at one point, and it was through this ambiguous period of exploration that their paths began to surface.
