In accord to this line of thinking , gaining insight seeking as one motive for and a result of adventure has been pointed to in earlier writings. Quinn (1990) notes that the human desire or drive to experience what is hidden and unknown initiates adventures. Similarly, Dufrene states : "we are attaracted by a deep forest or lake because it gives the impression that there is some truth to discover, some secret to abduct from the heart of the object. It is the eternal seduction of the the hidden" (1973:398). The reward for those who seek adventure lies in the discovery and unveiling of the hidden and unknown.
