💫 #3 greatest traveler. 14th century. What can ruin our vacation nowadays? Poor service in a coffee shop? Closed museum? Not too comfortable bed in hotel? Pfff....😏 -- Meet Ibn Batuta! The last great Muslim geographer, the globe spinner, a teller of tall tales, 😍and charming freeloader. Ibn travelled more than 120,000km (no ✈️ in 14th c☝️) covering what nowadays would be 44 countries. -- And he wouldn't fuss about uncomfortable bed... 😉 During his travels he was attacked by pirates, was held hostage (no biggie!), and had a great experience of hiding in a swamp for a week without food. -- His narrative is an ultimate guide to the Islamic world in the Middle Ages. Battuta’s journeys were more extensive that Marco Polo's, and his adventures reveal the joys of tourism. 🐾 #alinalosangeles #losangeles #historyoftravel #greatesttravelers #losangelesphotowalks #instagramlosangeles #lainstagram (at Malibu Beach)
