After graduating from college and grad school, and spending a year in the Navy, 24-year old Phil Knight decided he wanted to make a trip around the world. He asked his parents for money — it was the early ‘60s, and travel was still exotic and expensive — and boarded a plane to Hawaii.

In the months that followed, Knight continued his world travel and visited Japan, Hong Kong, Viet Nam, the Philippines, India, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Germany, France, England, and a handful of others countries. Many of the historical, cultural, and economic lessons he learned on his travels, he would remember and apply for life.
