I really like to travel, hopping from place to place, seeing natural wonders, witnessing what other people have built and wondering how they live. So the great explorer Marco Polo has always interested me, traveling in an age full of exotic mystery. And now I can recreate Polo’s adventurous travels by using this incredible map. Passing through Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, China, Mongolia, Myanmar, India and many other nations, you too will see wonders, fascinating people and fabulous architecture, hear poetry, and even learn about how Polo’s stories came down to us. Enjoy this adventure of a lifetime!
