What is the difference between exploring and being lost?

I'm off to Galicia, Spain, a beautiful province in the north for 7 days to work on a forest restoration project. I'm going solo again and I am so excited and just a tad bit anxious, but I finally can't wait to have this experience. Full recap when I come back for sure! Until then, I leave you with this, a quote I hope might accurately describe my adventure when I return...

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
