As travelers, it is our responsibility to adapt, otherwise we miss the whole point: the opportunity to gain a new perspective.

If travel has momentum and wants to stay in motion, as I mentioned earlier, then adventure has the gravitational pull of a black hole. The more you do it, the more you find a way to keep doing it.
