- Description: Thomas Stevens is considered the first man to have completed a round-the-world journey by bicycle, between 1884 and 1887. He left San Francisco on April 22, 1884, heading east, initially following the Central Pacific Railroad to Ogden, Utah, and then continuing along the Union Pacific. He reached Chicago on July 4, 1884, and completed the North American leg in Boston. After crossing the Atlantic, he landed in Liverpool and began his journey across Europe, passing through England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and the Balkans, arriving in Istanbul. From there, after a stop in Asia Minor, he embarked for India, where he cycled across much of the subcontinent as far as Calcutta. Stevens then continued toward East Asia, but was forced to abandon the route in China due to political instability and logistical challenges. He redirected to Japan, where he completed the final leg of his trip before returning to the United States in January 1887. His journey, first reported in magazines such as Outing and later published in the book Around the World on a Bicycle (1887)

- Description: Robert Louis Stevenson, famed author of Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, was also an indefatigable traveler. Frail in health, he turned to travel as both remedy and inspiration. In 1878, he walked through France’s Cévennes region with only a donkey named Modestine, an experience that led to Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, one of the first works of modern travel literature. He later journeyed to the United States and, from 1888, settled in Samoa, where locals affectionately called him “Tusitala,” the “teller of tales”
