Lewis and Clark, Christopher Columbus, and Marco Polo are individuals that we think of when it comes to exploring. Their travels were undoubtedly mesmerizing, and the stories they had to tell must have been unparalleled. The sights, the sounds, and the culture that they witnessed surely had an effect on their lives. Fast-forward to our day, where exploring has taken on a new connotation – channel surfing. Even though we may be chained to our La-Z-Boy, we can still take in the sights of the world.
