I feel that \u201cnext stop,\u201d indicates that this is a constant journey of sorts. It doesn\u2019t matter where we are stopping, there will always be adventure. It could be a journey of life, love, road trip, or really anything. I feel that there is a sense of adventure in all of life&#8217;s major (and minor) crossroads&#8211; I am thinking specifically of my upcoming wedding, buying a house, maybe kids sometime in the future. Those sorts of things.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason I chose the phrase \u201cnext stop\u201d was because Brighton and I road trip more often then flying. We end up driving to many of our destinations since I just love the feeling of being able to up and go without the hassle, stress or regulation of packing for a flight. While it takes longer, I enjoy the freedom of being able to dictate my own trip while on the road versus the skies. You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing along the way when you fly. Of course, there are also pros to traveling by plane. Next Stop is ambiguous for a reason. It leaves room for interpretation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Life-on-the-Edge.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-918 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Life-on-the-Edge.jpg\" alt=\"Life on the Edge\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Life-on-the-Edge.jpg 960w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Life-on-the-Edge-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>This is what I call living life on the edge&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second part, Adventure, is super clich\u00e9. I know! But I\u2019ve been using the word for so long it seemed natural to go with it. I call everything an adventure. You never know what will happen on an adventure. Everything could go wrong. Everything could go smoothly. Your plans may change entirely. I generally use the word adventure as a way to describe a new or unexpected experience. One definition for adventure is \u201can unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity.\u201d With the exception of \u201ctypically hazardous\u201d, I\u2019d agree with that definition. While I do like to live life on the edge\u2026 or cliff, despite Brighton\u2019s protests, I generally won\u2019t do something that I know will put my in immediate danger. I do like to take chances though. I feel that it\u2019s important to experience new things and not to live in a bubble. Adventure begins outside of your comfort zone!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/adventure-begins-at-the-end-of-your-comfort-zone.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-921 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/adventure-begins-at-the-end-of-your-comfort-zone.png\" alt=\"adventure begins at the end of your comfort zone\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/adventure-begins-at-the-end-of-your-comfort-zone.png 940w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/adventure-begins-at-the-end-of-your-comfort-zone-300x251.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 11: The Meaning Behind My Blog Name It came to me one day when I was brainstorming ideas at a coffee shop with Brighton.
