Travel is largely about undergoing internal changes in response to (or in concert with) the external changes in landscape, activity and culture. Anyone can go nice places and take lots of photographs, but probably National Geographic will do this better than you can. Anyone with a fat budget can participate in all sorts of weird and wonderful activities and write about them, but there's Outside Magazine and a host of imitators....and tens of thousands of other bloggers, some of whom are far crazier and more inventive than you.
It's the process of your own development, interwoven with the sights and sounds and movement through time and space which interests me. Not many people can write about this engagingly, and fewer still can sustain it for the length of a book (personally, I hit the wall around two pages).
Good luck!
