Islington u3a member Rosemary followed in the footsteps of Victorian explorer, Nellie Bly, by going around the world in under 80 days.

She copied Nellie Bly's journey, visiting the places that she visited over 100 years earlier. She says, "I wanted to promote women explorers."

She shares this in the September episode of the u3a radio podcast, which also includes an interview with newly appointed Third Age Trust Chair Liz Thackray, music-loving u3a member Lee and other fascinating u3a members.
