“I’ve often thought about the results of making some of these big trips. I haven’t done anything great for humanity; it was mostly that I’ve done something great for myself. But I do hear from other people who say they have been inspired by my travels. Hopefully, I can get them to look a little farther, a little deeper into themselves, into what they can do.“
