Buffy shares most of her secrets with her friends, but even Willow doesn't know of her passion for maps. She loves to open up the atlases in the library and look at all of the exotic places and unpronounceable names.

Sometimes when Giles is lecturing, she plans trips to India, to Kenya, to Alaska, to Peru. She plots routes and considers excursions, wonders what she and her friends will like the best.

But then Giles reminds her of the next demon to kill, and Buffy must abandon her detailed itineraries.

The Slayer has no passport to leave her destiny behind.
