before imagination & creatitivity...
The most unbelievably amazing and memorable moments in a trip are usually those out-of-plan surprises not originally planned on the itinerary...
...the unknown path may lead you to a culture's origin...the flight delay may send you a lifelong partner...a whimsical midnight hike in late winter may turn out to be a life-changing experience...etc etc...
Realizing this...sometimes people can go too far in search of such experiences...planning a trip (or a life)with only wild crazy imagination and lots of creativity but no realistic plans & projections...unaware that out-of-plan events can happen only when there's a plan in the first place...
A plan and a pre-determined destination is usually not where we want and will settle in the end, as we travelers as well as the situation constanty change on the journey. However we need the plan and a tentative 'destination' to kick start our bold journey. For some people, it may help to start with something (e.g. a blue print for life) somewhat modest and realistic, then...while learning and exploring on the way...gradually enriching & extending & distorting & coloring & 3D-ing that blueprint with new ideas & imagination & random impromptu bold moves...
