Of course, some Europeans did travel before the Age of Exploration. For example, Marco Polo traveled on the Silk Road to Kublai Khan’s China in the 1200s. After Marco Polo returned to the Italian peninsula, he was captured as a prisoner of war. In prison, he told a fellow prisoner about his travels. The fellow prisoner was a writer and wrote a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. Marco Polo’s book encouraged other Western Europeans to travel.
