- Description: Harry Alverson Franck was an author who published A Vagabond Journey Around the World in 1910, an account of his journey around the globe. He initially intended to travel without money, weapons, baggage, or supplies, relying instead on personal effort and local resources for both protection and daily needs. He later modified this plan, deciding to carry a Kodak camera and a small amount of money (104 dollars) to cover photographic materials. The main aim of his journey was to live and work alongside local populations in different parts of the world. He followed no fixed itinerary, leaving the route to chance and to changing circumstances
