‘The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world.’ These words by famous naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt come to my mind whenever Nadine and I are on the quest for a new travel destination. Apparently born with an insatiable spirit of discovery, we like to form our views and opinions on people and places by going there and seeing for ourselves instead of relying on pictures and hearsay. And if this includes the occasional, disturbingly close encounter with wild animals, the better it is.
