"Have you ever been out walking and found a new path? And have you followed it to see where it would go? Have you ever stood on the bank of a river? And have you wondered where it would take you? Maybe you have looked at a mountain and said, "One day I'll climb that mountain and find out what is on the other side." If you have done any of these things, then you have had the itch to be an explorer. The itch to follow unknown paths, to travel along unknown rivers and to cross unknown mountains is what exploring is all about. It means going to new places. It means finding out what they are like and how the people there live."

(The Explorers by Ernest Langford)
