"Traveling often requires determination, energy, fortitude, and
resourcefulness; but exploration also demands intuition, faith, a tolerance
for uncertainty, the willingness to embrace change, and the recognition that
the object being sought cannot always be defined with precision and will
sometimes lead to unpredictable consequences."
