in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
The extraordinary circumnavigation of Jeanne Baret
As I write, Cole Brauer should just be finishing the Global Solo Challenge having just spent four months at sea, to becoming the first American woman to race non-stop around the world alone. She took her 457,000 instagram followers with on the journey, allowing them to experience her emotional highs and lows, vicariously through their screens. However on International Women’s Day we thought it would be poignant to jump back 250 years to when the first women ever, encircled the globe, without even a facebook page.
