Heartland Tour: Archive

Jan 24th

The first alarm went off too early. I knew it wasn’t time. A bit annoyed I tried to roll over and get back to sleep for what I knew to be at least an hour before the real alarm would sound. The alarm that would shout out to me, remind me, this is the last day. This is the final day. The alarm signaling more than for me to roll over and acknowledge the dawn of a new day; signaling an end of...

The Road

I wish I had written more here to keep you all updated on the craziest, most wonderful experience! Touring is unlike anything else. Especially touring as a non-profit. We are not just partying and spreading fun like it’s free. We have rough days, llittle sleep, not so nutritious foods, and just random moments that make this kind of journey so utterly indescribable. But at least if I had been...

This is #TheReliance.

We speak for those silenced. Those trafficked and repatriated, those victims of the violence. We’ve lived our lives til’ now, free as we can be, nw we use that freedom to see North Koreans freed. You see, we’re not much different. Us, you and I. We all bleed the same blood, we all live until we die. We rely upon each other to make our voices heard. Refugees rely upon us for the...

9 ways to save money on the road.

Hello Internet World! Dylan here with a few tips on how to save money when traveling. 1. Don’t Eat Out All The Time: This is probably the easiest way to save money on the road. You think you’d be able to fight the temptation, but it isn’t so easy when you’ve got a limited chance to eat somewhere in a city you’ve never been. I know it’s always tempting for me to not eat at The Chicago Diner...

Hello internet world! Dylan here (Ubaldo to be exact). This is my first “<3Land” blog post and I’d like to thank LiNK for the opportunity to hop on tour again. LiNK will always hold a place in my heart and I am humbled to know that I will always have a part to play in this whole thing. So you wanna know about me, huh? Maybe not. Well too bad, I’m here for...

All the craziness!

So much has happened to us in the past two weeks that it is extremely difficult to figure out where to begin. Two weeks ago three Nomads arrived to Arlington and only 2 Nomads continued the journey. We were down one man, but our spirits were so up! We came out here to break records, spread our passion all over the Heartland and whether we are two or three we will overcome! We hit Oklahama and...

Texas A&M

We had an amazing week! Every group we presented with added their own touch, made their unique contribution, and made us feel so inspired and privileged to be on the road. Garza brought us to our first high school on tour! Ya’ll were so great! Then we hit ACC: Northridge, which proved that Austin was as cool as peeps around Texas had said. It was our largest screening to date, attracting...

End of the Heartland Spring 2011 Tour

I’m back in CA and it is so good to see all the lovely nomads, LiNK staff and interns. It seems like it was just yesterday that we all set off on our separate journeys. Expressing how I feel is going to be hard to do over a tumblr blog. I’m happy to be back with the nomads. Kinda sad to know we have to say goodbye again. Enjoying the time I have now. Let’s talk about...

wyattwalker: Vice Guide to North Korea: Part 1 Getting into North Korea was one of the hardest and weirdest processes VBS has ever dealt with. After we went back and forth with their representatives for months, they finally said they were going to allow 16 journalists into the country to cover the Arirang Mass Games in Pyongyang. Then, ten days before we were supposed to go, they said, “No,...

When we first set out on tour I thought it would be easy to post updates on tumblr/facebook/twitter regularly. NOT. Somehow, I am definitely going to try and make more time to do so. I regret not posting on certain events, people, and places. Currently, we are in Michigan. WHAT A LOVELY PLACE. The house me and Tim stayed at last night is literally less than 10 minutes away from Canada! How...

URBANA-CHAMPAIGN

WOW. We are on the road again and headed to our first screening with a chapter. The Urbana-Champaign Chapter to be exact! Can’t tell you how excited we are!! St. Louis has been so good to us and we have made a lot of new friends. We just hit the road and are on our way to Indiana. There is no doubt in my mind that the Urbana-Champaign Chapter is going to have some amazing people. IF...
