Nellie Bly, a pioneering American journalist, set off on her ambitious journey around the globe in an attempt to complete it in less time than the fictional adventurer Phileas Fogg, from Jules Verne's novel 'Around the World in Eighty Days.' Bly's trip started on November 14, 1889, from Hoboken, New Jersey. Traveling alone, she braved numerous challenges and navigated cultural differences, showcasing her immense determination and savvy. Throughout her journey, she made several stops, including England, France, Egypt, India, and Japan, before returning to New York City on January 25, 1890. Bly traveled by ship, train, and other forms of transportation, all meticulously planned, despite some unforeseen delays and challenges. Notably, she had to make adjustments to her itinerary due to conflicts and limited schedules in various countries. On her return, she was welcomed as a national hero, and her achievement not only captivated the public but also sparked conversations about women’s roles in society and journalism. This famous expedition highlighted the spirit of adventure and the possibilities of globalization that were emerging in that era. Bly’s experiences were chronicled in her writings, which received tremendous media attention and inspired future generations of women to pursue ambitious careers. Her completion time was 72 days, 6 hours, and 11 minutes, a record that stood for many years.
