Vasco da Gama

The Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama was born to a noble family

in small coastal town named Sines around 1460.

In 1498 the Portuguese navigator, Vasco da Gama, was the first

European to reach India by the route around Africa. He could reach
Calicut (in India). Essentially it was an exploratory expedition, whose
objective was to open the so-called "Spice Route" to India (for the
Portuguese).
This route allowed the Portuguese to avoid sailing through the hotly
contested Mediterranean and through the dangerous Arabian
Peninsula.
Also , the portugueses will gain access to India's riches—black pepper,
cinnamon, and other spices—and provide a reliable sea route.

He influenced Renaissance era by enchancing commerce in Europe

and teaches many childrens to chase your objetives and achieve it.
