The document outlines a proposed road trip design project, where the goal is to plan the "perfect" road trip after graduation. It discusses interviewing family for advice, conducting a survey to gather popular destination ideas, brainstorming potential stops, and prototyping a draft itinerary with notes to remain flexible and explore detours if interesting sites appear. The key aspects are gathering input, considering popular spots, and creating an initial plan that allows for spontaneity along the way.
