Highway Motorist Tip Number One:
Get gas even if you think you have time later! If you don’t, you’ll end up in the middle of nowhere California with no gas station in sight and a beeping gas light!

One last Jazz Hand photo done by the Vagabonds!

The rides our daredevil team faced to take Tour Launch to a whole new level…literally.

Team Norheast took Tour “Launch” maybe a bit too seriously. As soon as we rolled out of the office, we headed off to Vegas! We stayed with my grandparents there, but [...]

Already? We knew their planning time here at the HQ was going fly by… but now they’ve really driven away. Gone for an unpredictable 10 weeks of event-hosting, shoe-selling, couch-sleeping, and memory-making. When I tell you they are an eclectic, motivated, passionate, spunky, intelligent group of young people, I’m not doing them justice. My excitement [...]

Friday marked the last day the Vagabonds were in the office at TOMS headquarters! Today, we hit the road on our tour of the Southwest and we couldn’t be more stoked. Last week was absolutely nuts – preparing for a three month tour in a van is not an easy thing. We organized and packed [...]

Its always exciting to spend time with President Clinton, but this past weekend at the second annual CGI U was extra special. The energy of the thousands of students that attended was unreal, and they were just as inspiring to me as TOMS and the One for One business model is to them. Here’s a [...]
