Project Description

Hello, my name is Robin. I am an educator, a traveler, and a storyteller. I am a fabulous combination of savvy businesswoman meets travel writer. I earned my MBA from INSEAD, the #1 business school in the world, and am a professor at NYU.

In 2012, I introduced my idea "Where is Robin?” I had returned home from time abroad and dreamed about planting seeds of curiosity in children about the world.  Over time my vision evolved into a company called Diplomat Books with the purpose of creating children’s travel books. We believe that learning about people and places far from home in early education leads to greater respect and compassion as adults.

 

Robin

Success is measured by the impact we have on the next generation: instilling a sense of curiosity, maximizing engagement among children of different backgrounds, and establishing a tone of respect and compassion among people. We launched in November 2015 and brought our first adventure travel book to market and set out to become “the Lonely Planet for 5-year-olds”.

In the past year, I have shared my story with over 3,500 people, brought our first book to market, established a national distributor relationship, and recruited a team of illustrators who will help me grow and scale the platform.

Thanks to the Internet, we live in an increasingly global world with access to people and places different than your home. Often misunderstanding between people can result in fear. Staying open minded and curious is a life skill needed to bridge our differences. I learned this skill through travel. This life skill is like a muscle that became stronger the more places that I visited!

Possessing the skills to understand differences among people is as important for your survival as the pursuit of your best life! Travel is an important life experience. It opens up your mind and teaches you how to be curious.

My passion for travel, fearlessness in new situations, and vulnerability to share our experiences inspires people to recognize that travel is an important life experience and to pursue their best life!

With this character and the travel story lines, I want to create a world that sets the tone for curiosity and encourages the muscle of curiosity to develop and remain alive throughout one’s life!

The Campaign FAQs

WhereisRobinFrontCover_RGB

November 2, 2016 marks the second year of my journey. I am currently working to complete a collection of city books, which will be available in stores in November 2017!

With this crowd funding campaign, I am taking the next big step and pre-selling copies of these books to raise $10,000 to fund the completion of these books.

The collection of USA city books follows Robin on her adventures around New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco! Each book is uniquely illustrated in the colorful, fun, and creative manner as presented in our first book.

Currently, all books have color covers illustrated, storylines structures, and images sketched. During the winter we will continue to complete the books and head to editing by early Spring.

Backers will receive advance copies of the printed and electronic book by early summer – months ahead of their availability in stores in November 2017!

If you love our concept and recognize that travel is an important life experience, we promise you a memorable journey full of learning, laughter, and love. Don’t let me fly alone – support my campaign and come along!
