Balloons cannot be steered. This means that when you fly a balloon, you go where the wind takes you. This is why it is important that you know about weather conditions and wind patterns; you should also choose your launch site carefully.
Since the wind direction is not the same at different altitudes, if you want to go in a particular location you can usually ascend or descend to find the favorable wind direction.
