Ferdinand Magellan's slave, Enrique. Enrique was brought to Europe from the Philippines and became Magellan's slave. he went on the voyage around the world with them, and when Magellan died in the Philippines after going around South America, Enrique jumped ship and swam to an island in the Philippines, roughly the same place he lived before he was a slave.

Magellan didn't make it the whole way himself, but his ships sailed down the east coast of South America and through the Strait of Magellan (named after him), through the Pacific, the Marianas and Guam, and on to the Philippines, which is where Magellan died. Elcano, in the only ship that survived the entire voyage, traded in the Spice Islands (Maluku), went through the Indian ocean, came around the cape of Good Hope, and then west and north back to Spain. The ship that tried to go back through the Pacific route was captured and wrecked.
