Well, by adverturous I mean spontanious, I tend to plan details out for stuff. Even the random motorcycle trip that Morgan and I took last month, the idea was random but after the idea was established I already knew exactly what routes we were taking, where we were staying, even the places I wanted to eat at (not to mention I could picture the places I knew I would stop for gas).
