The last stop is where life truly begins.
This is a community travel blog for everyone who wants to show the world the most desolate, beautiful, moments of their life.
The Laststopping philosophy has its origins in cold Russian winter nights, where adventurous souls travel to the end of the metro line in Moscow to catch a glimpse of real Russia and drink the night away in foreign environs.
It has since evolved through the actions of hundreds of people in numerous countries to imply a life long desire to seek out situations, places, and emotional experiences where the Last Stopper can experience being "the other," whether that be at the end of the line, the end of the earth, or at the end of sanity, love, and beauty. Travel not required, but it does help. Call it a turning point, an end of the world, or something that moved you, whatever it is, please share your pictures, video, or words with us.
This site has been created to catalog the world's geographical, spiritual, and emotional Last Stops - please share yours with us, click on "submit a last stop" below!

Thank you! I very much appreciate your attention to the blog and your message.
Where in Russia do you live?
A very interesting collection concerning my favorite last stop, Grozny.
A short multimedia work from Grozny: Nine Cities project has been nominated for Moving Image Award/ People’s Choice.
“Grozny: nine cities’ by Maria Morina, Olga Kravets and Oksana Yushko draws a portrait of the wartorn city that is the Magnum ideal of both art and reportage, mixing ambient sound, video and stills to create a view of a city trying to rise from its knees, stoutly refusing pity,” by Roland Hancock, Daily Telegraph.

I continue to wonder about Gaza. It seems like the ultimate last stop.

In a world where this conflict never seems to end, I’d like to ask you - would you move to the Gaza Strip if you were sure you’d help at least one person in doing so?

A geographical last stop. Briar Summit, above Laurel Canyon, this picture looking out towards Griffith Park and the Hollywood sign. Briar Summit is a small park west of Runyon that is also one of the highest points in Los Angeles. From the peak you can see 360 degrees from the ocean to the valley. Unlike Runyon however, there are never a large number of people here. I took this sunrise picture this on a Sunday morning, I had a view of the entire Los Angeles area and there was not another soul there enjoying the moment. Some of my favorite moments in life, my favorite last stops, have been finding solitude in the middle of the world’s largest cities.
if i could be anywhere else right now, it would be there
Yes! A last stop at the top of the world, on to the beauty just beyond the ridge …
Do you ever wonder what lives just beyond where your eyes can touch? Do you ever wonder if you would love it there?

Thanks Tyler. I think that is a new best quote on laststopping philosophy, could be the mantra.

I love this shot, and wish to someday visit this last stop, one of the ends of the world …
St. Petersburg, Russia. This is where laststopping originated, oh so many years ago. The city is a phantom of itself, a place that should not exist, but revels in its own beauty. During White Nights you disappear into the sky, drunk on passion.
