Marco Polo
An Italian trader and explorer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road
Real World Example
Marco Polo was an Italian explorer who traveled extensively through Asia along the Silk Road in the late 13th century. He documented his travels in a book called "The Travels of Marco Polo," which provided Europeans with one of the first detailed accounts of the Asian lands, cultures, and riches. His writings helped spark curiosity and interest in Asia, encouraging further exploration and trade during the Age of Exploration. Today, Marco Polo's legacy lives on through his spirit of curiosity and discovery, inspiring adventurers and travelers alike. For example, when people set out to explore new cultures and places or even try unfamiliar foods, they're embracing the same sense of wonder and exploration that Marco Polo embodied.
