Bo Hai
Born in China, I, Bo Hai, had dreams of becoming a famous traveler and trader, prospering off of the world’s communication. As a child, I wanted to learn from different cultures and bring back goods to better myself. I grew up in the countryside of the Yuan Dynasty where my family had a hard time. People in the countryside, where I grew up, suffered from frequent natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and the resulting famines. The government's lack of effective policy led to constant revolts. As soon as I could, I joined the navy to learn how to navigate myself around the seas. I excelled in my studies and soon became one of 10 apprentices on a sailing expedition to trade with the port cities of western India. I will, of course miss my family at home but I am ready to experience the journey that awaits. We will be navigating to Calicut, a city of which I have heard great things. All of my travels will be recorded in my traveler’s blog.
