Desideroso di conoscere e di studiare il commercio, l'industria e l'agricoltura del mondo intero, la vita sociale e nazionale dei diversi popoli, ho cominciato il 2 marzo 1923, partendo dalla città di Graz (Austria), questo viaggio per una durata di sette anni.

Continuerò il mio viaggio per il sud dell'Italia e i Balcani.

- Description: Erwin George “Cannonball” Baker was a motorcyclist, car racer, and organizer famed for setting over 140 point‑to‑point records. His most celebrated run occurred in 1933 when he drove from New York City to Los Angeles in 53.5 hours (approx. 2,276 km /1,414 miles) in a Graham‑Paige Model 57 Blue Streak 8—a record that stood for nearly 30 years until 1964. In 1941, he completed a trouble‑free 6,517 miles (10,488 km) run in a Crosley Covered Wagon, to demonstrate its fuel economy and reliability. These drives inspired the later Cannonball Baker Sea‑to‑Shining‑Sea Memorial Trophy Dash - better known as the “Cannonball Run” - which itself inspired multiple films and a TV series

- Description: In April 1889, Mikhail Asseyev embarked on a journey from Lubny, Russia, to the newly-constructed Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. He journeyed with two mares, Diana, an Anglo-Don, and Vlaga, a Novorossisski. Asseyev traveled "à la Turkmène" – meaning he rode one horse in the morning and the other in the afternoon, with the led horse being completely unburdened. For, as all Long Riders understand, the horse's enemy is not the miles but the weight. Using this method, Asseyev averaged 100 kilometers a day. After traveling more than 3'000 kilometers, upon arriving at the Eiffel Tower with his two mares, the Society for the Protection of Animals awarded him a special gold medal, as his horses were in excellent condition
