unconventional
An unconventional choice or action is one that doesn't follow what's considered normal or expected. It can also describe something that's unusual or done differently.
Unconventional can mean doing things your own way and ignoring what others think is right. For example, if you decide to quit your job to travel the world without saving up any money, people might think it's an unconventional decision, but maybe it's just what you really need at that moment in life. You're not following the standard path of getting a stable job first and then traveling. This word can be used for choices or behaviors that break with tradition or social norms.
