Introduction to Hit the Road

This project grew from a passion for travel.  I grew up on tour buses.  My mother was a travel host and planned niche tours all over the world, mostly with senior citizens, and I often left school for a few weeks to join the group.  One trip was a square dancing tour across the British Isles.  The memory of seniors with large petticoats underneath gingham dresses moving to the steps of a caller is something that remains etched in my memory.  Her tours were quirky and fun. 

Travel is in my blood.  I am looking for peoples stories.  I am looking for places to go outside of mainstream culture.  I am looking for adventures that take me away from urban living.

Here are some standard show formats that I do NOT want to follow. I want a cross between documentary and travelogue.
