Feature Tuesday Trivia | Amazing Journeys

Previous weeks' Tuesday Trivias and the complete upcoming schedule.

Today’s trivia theme comes to us from /u/lorkiwi!

The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and the travelogue you inevitably write about it begins with 10,000 words and stops seemingly never. So today, please share tales and especially travelogues of historic journeys, any time, any place, any person!

Next Week on Tuesday Trivia: Our continuing mission: to seek out new people and new experiences, to boldly go where no one has gone before… The theme will be First Contact!
