 Xuanzang - a seventh century Chinese monk
Xuanzang completed a sixteen-year epic journey to the holy places of Buddhism. Traveling overland it took him two years to reach India, where he became a student of philosophy at the famous Nalanda University. When he returned to China, he was able to take important Buddhist texts with him. During the final twenty years of his life he translated these texts and had many students, among them the emperor of China. See Wikipedia and In the footsteps of Xuanzang [ Xuanzang travelled through China, Kyrgistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India before heading back ].
