I recently wrote a guest post for The Travelling Squid about the book by my travel hero: Nellie Bly.
I didn’t like the book in the beginning but I changed my mind during my second reading.
Find out why on The Travelling Squid’s blog: The Squid’s Book Club – Around the World in 72 Days.
I learnt of her during my visit to the Jules Verne museum in Nantes.
In the three-storeyed house, there was a little corner about Around the World in 80 Days book. At that corner, and there was a yellow A4 poster of a vintage-wearing lady.
The little description that accompanied the photo told me that she was a journalist (like me!) and had went on a round-the-world trip in only 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes. How impressive!
