# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ibn Battuta left Tangier in 1325 and didn't stop. For three decades he moved through Africa, Asia, and the Iberian Peninsula, covering distances that wouldn't be matched until ships and rails remade travel. He was a scholar and a Muslim making hajj, but the road became the point. By 1354 he'd seen more of the medieval world than anyone on record. Near the end of his life he dictated the Rihla — A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling — an account that survives as both itinerary and artifact. He died in 1368 or 1369, having walked farther than the age could measure.
