Hello world!
Welcome to The Next Big Adventure! When we backpacked around the world in 2007-2008 we realized we wanted to live a life less ordinary and The Next Big Adventure was conceived. With more & more travelers staying on the road longer, volunteering, blogging their way along, we also strive to become location independent. We do not want a life tied to a cubicle and 2 weeks of vacation. We don’t want to be people “living for the weekend’, we want to live life large everyday!
We’re just starting this website, having chronicled our previous trip on the bootsnall.com blog The Adventures of Jim and Rhonda, so we hope you follow us along on our quest for a life with no regrets.
