I’ve never measured a successful trip by how many destinations I can circle on a map or check off a Bucket List.  To me the best journey, and the best ravel, moves more like a good conversation. It ebbs and flows. It rarely rushes, but it’s also animated and unpredictable. It is filled with banter and laughter, and invites participants to linger rather than march forward inexorably like a tightly wound clock. Want to have dessert?  A second glass of wine?
