Any middle-aged, midwestern American, white male executive on a business trip to Europe, Latin America, or Asia.

My boomer dad retired from Caterpillar and travelled the entire world from Seoul to Tel Aviv. Mostly because US aid packages require spending a large portion of that aid buying from US companies like CAT

>Throughout his travels, Ibn Battuta kept close company with women, usually taking a wife whenever he stopped for any length of time at one place, and then divorcing her when he moved on. While in the Maldives, Ibn Battuta took four wives. In his Travels he wrote that in the Maldives the effect of small dowries and female non-mobility combined to, in effect, make a marriage a convenient temporary arrangement for visiting male travellers and sailors.

> Taghaza was a commercial centre and awash with Malian gold, though Ibn Battuta did not form a favourable impression of the place, recording that it was plagued by flies and the water was brackish.[146]
>until he reached the capital of the Mali Empire.[i] There he met Mansa Suleyman, king since 1341. Ibn Battuta disapproved of the fact that female slaves, servants, and even the daughters of the sultan went about exposing parts of their bodies not befitting a Muslim.[150] He wrote in his Rihla that black Africans were characterised by "ill manners" and "contempt for white men", and that he "was long astonished at their feeble intellect and their respect for mean things."

>Some scholars have also questioned whether he really visited China.[169] Ibn Battuta may have plagiarised entire sections of his descriptions of China lifted from works by other authors like "Masalik al-absar fi mamalik al-amsar" by Shihab al-Umari, Sulaiman al-Tajir, and possibly from Al Juwayni, Rashid al din, and an Alexander romance. Furthermore, Ibn Battuta's description and Marco Polo's writings share extremely similar sections and themes, with some of the same commentary, e.g. it is unlikely that the 3rd Caliph Uthman ibn Affan had someone with the identical name in China who was encountered by Ibn Battuta.[170]

I would tell them to pick a lane and stick with it, but they don't even do that in traffic.

I liked Mark Twain's travel book. He took a ship to Europe and bounced around there and then into the Holy Land and other spots along the Mediterranean. The cool part is this was an era modern enough for him to do this conveniently, but the places were all still 100% authentic. He and his buddies would go find ruins in Jerusalem or wherever and just break pieces off to take home. I can only imagine what that all would have been like.

What is it about these places today that makes them inauthenic? Like I've been to Jerusalem and there's obviously a side of the city that caters to tourists and pilgrims but it's still very much a place where people live and work. Lots of the shops in the old city just have people selling groceries and clothes and shit.
