People Are the Destination.
Travel Is the Vehicle.
Hi, Neighbor. I'm Heidi.
I'm an Army Brat who has always been drawn to people, places, and the stories that connect them. That journey sparked a love of travel that has taken me to most of the States, almost 60 countries and six continents. Over the years, travel has taught me that strangers often become neighbors when we're willing to connect and the most meaningful part of any journey is almost always the people you meet.
Next On the List is my way of sharing that joy—celebrating curiosity, honoring differences, and finding connection one journey at a time.
The Heart of This Place
At Next on the List, I believe curiosity opens doors, connection builds bridges, and shared humanity has a way of drawing us back to one another.
This is a digital gathering place for travelers, dreamers, music lovers, lifelong learners, and armchair explorers—a place to feel welcomed, inspired, and at home while discovering more of the world and the people who call it home.
Because here, travel may be the starting point, but people, stories, and connection are always at the heart of it all. After all, travel has a way of turning strangers into neighbors and faraway places into something that feels a little like home.
Welcome to the Neighborhood.
However you arrived here—through a love of travel, music, culture, stories, or simple curiosity—there's a place for you here, and I'm so happy you stopped by. Take a look around and make yourself at home.
