Travel stories are about the longing for something with a counterpoint of fear of the unknown and its dangers. To make your story interesting, find the object of longing and find the the source of peril. The longing and the peril may be great or small, but they are always at the heart of the story.

Since you have guns and explosions, the perils are pretty clear. What is the longing that drives the traveller to brave these perils?
