'Boston & Back': A Wilton Native Travels Across the Country

Editor’s Note: We first ran this story on April 30 but ICYMI a graduate of Wilton High School is doing something pretty amazing. 

A Wilton native and sophomore at Boston University is raising money to travel across the United States.

Justin Hawk and his roommate Jeremie Go plan on driving from Boston through the Midwest and Southwest to San Francisco in May. From there, they will make their way down to Los Angeles and continue back to Boston through Texas and the South.

By the end of the trip, they would have covered 48 states.

The project called ”Boston and Back” seeks to uncover how people across the country view happiness and what they believe is the key to a fulfilled life.

The duo will be sharing their findings with photos, videos and a DVD of the final documentary.

Hawk studies Journalism and Environmental Analysis and Policy while Go is also a sophomore pursuing a BSBA with a double concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship.

To support the two college students on their trip, join them on Kickstarter.

For more information on the project and to learn about Hawk and Go, visit Boston and Back.
