Matt Scheurich's misadventure with the Papua New Guinea tribesman was all over the news in the past few days.

Shot With Arrows In Clash Of Civilizations
 |
| Papua New Guinea tribesmen |
While Mr. Scheurich and his girlfriend escaped the attack and seem to be doing fine after the doctors patched them, the incident surely sheds a dash of light on potential risks of travel well-beyond the beaten path.
It is said that we discover the essence we are made of when facing the obstacles; and there is no doubt that one way of doing it is by traveling. History is full of brave people who engaged on journeys of discovery and self-discovery, like the guy who tries to hitch-hike all the way from Transylvania to Kamchatka, or the guy who solo climbed Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in USA, in January. These are travelers whose adventurous spirit keeps the adrenaline pumping through their veins and that helps them going the extra mile. But sometimes that extra mile gets them off the beaten path, on uncharted territory. And there's where the remotest corners of the self are supposed to be brought to light; that's if one manages to get out of it alive.
