Ocupaţie geograf, profesor, globe-trotter

Dumitru Dan (n. 13 iulie 1890 - d. 4 decembrie 1978) a fost un geograf, profesor de geografie şi globe-trotter. S-a remarcat prin faptul că a cucerit titlul mondial pentru înconjurul lumii pe jos.

Înconjurul lumii

Buzoianul Dumitru Dan a participat împreună cu alţi trei români, Paul Pârvu, Gheorghe Negreanu şi Alexandru Pascu - toţi studenţi la Universitatea Sorbona - la concursul organizat de Touring Clubul Francez în 1910, care prevedea efectuarea înconjurului lumii, pe jos, pe 5 continente (cu excepţia Antarctidei). Premiul pus la bătaie a fost de 100.000 franci francezi. Au participat alţi 200 de concurenţi din 25 de ţări. Dumitru Dan a reuşit performanţa de a termina primul cei circa 100.000 km, pe care i-a parcurs în 6 ani de zile, între 1910 - 1916. El a fost singurul român care a terminat competiţia, ceilalţi trei tineri au decedat în timpul călătoriei.

Tinerii au plecat la drum pe data de 1/14 aprilie 1910, pornind din Bucureşti pe jos spre Braşov, apoi spre Budapesta şi mai departe până la Paris, locul de unde s-a dat startul cursei. Dumitru Dan a fost singurul român care a terminat. Performanţa sa a rămas neegalată, fiind înscris în Cartea Recordurilor. Călătoria l-a purtat pe 5 continente, peste 3 oceane, prin 76 de ţări şi prin peste 1.500 de oraşe. A rupt 497 perechi de opinci şi 28 de costume naţionale.
