With the exception of maybe going into space, I've never had a great desire for exploratory travel. Paddling down unknown rivers in the deep dark with disintegrating clothing due to the humidity and hardships holds very little charm. I think it's impressive what others do on their adventures as they go into uncharted territory, but there's something about a bed and a bathroom that floats my boat. Still though, I have nothing against reading a good book on the subject.
