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.
Last week in California, its been real but I'm ready to move on. The mountains are calling. Next week takes us to beautiful Utah. There should be time for camping if we can get a spot somewhere. Notes from last week: Still trying to strike a balance with my studies and work. Still putting things... Continue Reading →
It's finally Portland week!!! We arrive yesterday with views like the shot below to keep us rolling. It was a LONG drive. In California and Oregon trucks are limited to 55mph on the interstate, that makes for some slow going. Lucky for me I had lots of time to finish a paper for my class,... Continue Reading →
Another week out in San Jose, enjoying the lovely spring weather. This week is pretty busy but next week will be very exciting. We are going to Portland, we spend so little time out West and Oregon gets neglected. I'm already looking forward to the food.
I want to give a big congratulations to the Seth and Abby!!! Being AVG is pretty awesome. This is the start of our nearly month long stay in the San Jose area. We are going to make a trip or two up to San Fran to see family and Josh is looking at what camping... Continue Reading →

Vegas was great, but a week was enough for me. I do look forward to another visit, this time staying at a resort with a killer pool. We are back in Phoenix this week and will soon be making a run to California that will take us through May.
It takes watching just a few seconds of Lord of the Rings to get an idea of how beautiful New Zealand is. With so many wonderful places to go why would you ever spend a day inside or at a museum? For two people who often spend their days off at an exhibit missing some... Continue Reading →
VEGAS BABY!!!! After five years on the road it's nice to go to someplace for the first time. Not only will this be our first visit to Vegas but it's a long one. We will be here for an entire week. We have some good friends who live here and are going to show us... Continue Reading →
Well that is the famous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, taken from the comfort of our rental car. We spend about a week around the LA area but only had one afternoon off to see the sights. Instead of hopping onto one of the tour busses we just cruised around to take in the local... Continue Reading →
