What’s in a Name?

What’s in a name? In the case of a blog or website, it is everything. When I started this blog in 2016, I wanted to find the right name. One that implied adventure and mystery, allowed for local travel items as well, and also allowed for different topics and discussions. I looked and searched and it seemed every word that I thought of was already taken. I was getting frustrated. Every word and combination of words that I tried was already taken or for sale as a domain for hundreds of dollars. Then suddenly, it was right in front of me. My word. TRIPS!

From the Cambridge Online Dictionary –

Trip – a noun, a journey in which you go somewhere, usually for a short time, and come back again. Synonyms – adventure, break-journey, circumnavigate, drive, excursion, expedition, jaunt, odyssey. Slang use – a person or experience that is strange or entertaining and exciting.

That was my word – TRIP(S).

A word that means adventure and journey whether it is short or long. Any experience that you see, feel or excites you, is a trip. There are many kinds of trips that you can take – overseas or just down the street. It could be a conversation, a movie, a painting, a theatre play, or book. Something that makes you leave yourself, and your everyday life to experience something new and interesting and different. That is what the words TRIPS means to me. I hope you agree!
