Nellie travel diary

The diary of past trips or future trips. With Nellie Bly as inspiration, the first woman to have circumnavigated the globe in 72 days, the Nellie travel diary invites them to move. Nellie Bly was a recognized and acclaimed journalist. In 1889, she decided to go around the world in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg, the hero of Jules Vernes (around the world in 80 days). She aims to beat this record. And she will get there hands down. What better “godmother” for the Nellie travel diary? Small (A6: 14.8 x 10.5 cm), this travel diary will accompany them everywhere in their pockets or in their bags. Its wide variety of papers (drawing, watercolor, lined, colored) will adapt to all their travels, whether artistic, cultural, sporting or family. They will be guided by its cover image in the colors of the orients and packed their bags! Inspired by Elizabeth John Cochrane aka Nellie Bly was born in 1864. She was an American journalist. Her parents intended her to be a companion or a governess, but Nellie preferred to write poems and stories. She was hired by the Pittsburgh Dispatch newspaper after writing a letter to them opposing a sexist article and writing an impressive piece herself about family, divorce and children. It was then that she took on the alias of Nellie Bly, to protect her anonymity and her family. From that day on, she wrote numerous articles undercover in the factories to denounce the working and living conditions of the working class. In 1890 she decided to go around the world trying to beat the record of Phileas Fogg, the hero of Jules Vernes' novel Around the World in 80 Days. She thus embarked on board the Augusta Victoria of the Hamburg American Steamship Line, at the port of Hoboken. Arrived in France, she learns that an interview is planned with Jules Verne in person in Amiens. Then she resumes her journey. Passing through Suez, the Red Sea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, San Francisco and finally crossing the United States. She circumnavigates the globe in 72 days: record broken. Towards the end of her life, she ran an industry of metal canisters, inherited from her husband. Notebook ideas -Travelogue - Sketchbook
