- Description: According to a contemporary article, Mihaylo Milavanovitsch from Belgrade undertook in 1899 a long walking journey across Europe. Departing on 5 April, he had already covered about 50,000 km (31,100 miles), passing through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Trieste, Ragusa, Salonica, Bucharest, Athens, Constantinople, Kiev, Smolensk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Le Havre, London, Lisbon, Madrid, Marseilles, Nice, Turin, Milan, Como, and Lugano. At his stop in Ticino, he still had around 2,000 km (1,240 miles) to complete his itinerary back to Belgrade via Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. Described as a 24-year-old young man, robust and with “the face of an apostle,” he spoke German in addition to his native language. The stated purpose of the journey was education; he carried a small notebook in which local newspapers recorded each arrival with dates and official stamps, thus gathering signatures in many European languages

- Description: French globetrotter who claimed to be undertaking a world tour accompanied by his dog. According to research by the Orkney Archive (2025), Charles Millot left Paris on 22 April 1901, aged 20, after betting with friends that he could walk around the world in six years without money, funding himself by selling illustrated postcards bearing his portrait. Between 1902 and 1903 he travelled across Europe - from Italy to Germany, Belgium, England and Ireland - finally reaching Scotland and the Orkney Islands, where he was photographed with his dog “Dundee". At each stage he visited newspaper offices and police stations to register his progress and have his consular papers stamped. British newspapers described him as a tireless, multilingual self-promoter known as “the French globe-trotter”

- Description: George Moore was an Irish writer known for his cosmopolitan life and extensive travels between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into an aristocratic family, he left Ireland early and settled in Paris, where he mingled with bohemian circles and impressionist painters. Initially drawn to painting, it was his encounter with French literary circles that set him on the path to writing. His journeys continued through Italy, Spain, Egypt, and back to Ireland, always combining geographic exploration with intellectual introspection. Works like Confessions of a Young Man and The Untilled Field reflect his restless mind and critical, often provocative, outlook
