I tell people that if I hadn't become an engineer I'd have become an explorer. A Himalayan explorer to be precise. While it's a rather romantic idea, it's a little hard and a little dangerous to do it alone. Having good company makes the journey twice more fun and half as hard.
What I'd like to try one day, when I find that elusive partner (has to be a girl, obviously :-P) is to start at a place and walk into wilderness with no destination in mind. Keep heading in the most interesting direction. Once the supplies are down to the last third and if there's no settlement in sight, turn around and head back to the starting point. And start all over again.
This is my dream way of travelling in the mountains.
