Chronicling the adventures of an elite experiential marketing team. From the nine years on the road to new adventures in Portland, OR. We are the Roving Van Gelders and we can’t wait to see you down the road.
Why would two people whom don't live in a house, pay $20 to tour someone else's home? Well if you grew up in Illinois then you likely have an appreciation for Frank Lloyd Wright and have visited numerous buildings of his design. Fallingwater is considered by many to be the crown jewel of his long... Continue Reading →
Now that we have gone fully "barefoot", what I mean is that I no longer use tennis shoes anymore, just my Merrell Barefoot shoes; it was time for another test. As you might recall we somewhat foolishly took a 4 mile hike before we were ready, well weeks later our feet and muscles have been... Continue Reading →
You would think that two people whom travel by road as much as we do would never want to go for a drive on their day off. But the call of the Blue Ridge Parkway in early wildflower bloom was just too much. That and the $55 a pop ticket price to the Biltmore Mansion,... Continue Reading →
We've been pretty busy the last few days, fun busy. Since finding out that we would be visiting Asheville, NC on this tour I have been planning our visit. Bound to be packed with food, music, shopping, fishing, beers and a little history. The past few nights we have been out to see concerts, not... Continue Reading →

This is our second week in Texas and our second week of fun! Yeah I'm going to keep with the Texas is awesome phase for a little while. Last week put us in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and Waco, both crazy fun cities. While near Dallas we were able to have a home cooked meal... Continue Reading →
We had a little fun while that sun was out! Not only did temps rise to 70 during our show days but our day off was beautiful. Hot Springs, AR had lots of good in store for us. After visiting a spa for mineral baths and massages we headed to the Hot Springs National Park... Continue Reading →
I am afraid that this post will not be a restart of me posting on a regular basis. My work is very busy and very tough right now. We finish at about 8pm everyday and I'm just a little tired. Once things settle down I'll be back and share with you my ramblings out here... Continue Reading →
Here's a little of how my Saturday night went. We worked a pretty long day at the West Virginia Capital Complex with GtK. I did three TV interviews and welcomed guests all day, however it was a pretty normal day. That is until the capital's facility manager stopped by to take us on extra... Continue Reading →
