I just never encountered the word 探訪 before, so i was quite at a loss on how to translate it
You need to split the two characters at times like this, since you'll encounter thousands, if not hundreds, of words made up in such ways in East-Asian languages. Or Japanese and Chinese, to be precise, since in these languages words are frequently compound words like such. Knowledge on frequently-used phrases/expressions helps a whole lot on the word segmentation.
Now I'll bitch about learning another language. Generally speaking, learning through translation practice is a good approach itself, but don't do that in public releases. Instead, buy or find yourself some textbook / exercise book, do the exercises, then compare your answers against the given ones in order to learn from the differences on selection of words, order of word/phrases, etc. I taught myself Japanese that way. (Of course this won't make you able to "speak" another language with your mouth, but you can still seek aid from anims / games / drama CDs.)
Last but not least, keep yourself not-so-sleepy next time.
