Roadtrip Nation is a USA television series that sends a bunch of freshly-graduated college students on a road journey that’s outside their comfort zone.

When Roadtrip Nation arrived in New Zealand, the participants had heard about the famous hospitality and fantastic scenery, but they knew little about the country’s unique culture. After 18 days on the road, all three teams had discovered New Zealand’s special points of difference in their own way.
