Marco Polo was the original, trailblazing tourist. He was born into
a wealthy Venetian merchant family in 1254 and at the age of 17 he
embarked on an epic journey to Asia, as one of the first westerners
to ever visit China. When he returned 24 years later he recorded
his extensive travels in a book – publishing possibly the first
travel guide ever – and introducing Europeans to Central Asia and
China.
Marco Polo’s travels have since inspired countless adventurers to
set off and see the world. Allegedly, Christopher Columbus set off
across the Atlantic with a copy of Marco Polo’s original book!
