- Description: Nicolas Bouvier, a Swiss traveler and writer, is celebrated for his travel narratives that blend deep cultural insights with captivating storytelling. His most famous journey, undertaken in the 1950s with friend and artist Thierry Vernet, took them from Europe to Asia in a Fiat Topolino. This adventure is immortalized in his acclaimed book "The Way of the World", where he poetically and accurately describes the challenges, discoveries, and human interactions encountered along the way. Bouvier's journey stands out for its ability to capture the essence of places and people, turning every experience into an internal journey as much as a physical exploration of the world

- Description: A woman of intrepid spirit, unyielding determination, and a thirst for knowledge, she embarked on solo journeys across the American continents – North America in 1885, Central America and the Caribbean in 1886, and South America in 1887. At every destination, she sought out what she termed "the most humble people," diligently recording her observations for future publications back in Paris. In her travel accounts, she challenged the prevailing societal views about adventurous women. Her journey in 1888 took her to India, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Sumatra, Vietnam, China, and Japan. In subsequent years, she continued her travels to Africa, Europe, and returned to America. Facing numerous adversities, including attacks by brigands and thieves, her travels were a testament to her courage and resilience
