Every adventure requires a bit of spontaneity and, while it was not the first time, our stop at Selenunte stands out as one moment where I was grateful to be surrounded by avid adventurers. Given the chance to make our way to the acropolis on our own, we carved our own trails through the thick underbrush, over hills, and through tunnels of ancient fortifications. These unplanned moments often gave me the greatest views of places we viewed: whether it be the unvisited rear of the acropolis or the side streets of a great city, it is the road less traveled that yields the greatest treasures.
