But why?

I am often asked why I am taking an extended break from study to see the world. Sometimes I think it is because I am searching for the meaning of life (not 42 as widely believed). Other times I suspect it is because I am lazy and averse to all forms of labor: physical or mental. Whatever it is I am doing on this voyage hasn't revealed itself to me yet. Maybe I won't know for years to come...

and maybe it isn't the destination but the journey that is important.
