- “Brains, Beauty, & Breeches - World Tour Offer For Lucky young woman… Wanted to join an expedition…”
That was the ad that Aloha Wanderwell saw in 1922, and right away, she felt as if it had been written especially for her. She was only 16 years old but already knew that being a “proper young lady” was not for her. From a young age, she had an unquenchable thirst for adventure. Aloha was just waiting for the right opportunity and now knew she had found it.
Seventy-five countries and 380,000 miles later, Aloha Wanderwell had become the first woman to drive around the world, earning the moniker of “the Amelia Earhart of the open road.”

Aloha Wanderwall... perfect name for such an achiever too haha 😁
A long-ago predecessor of our present-day explorer, Wonderhussy!
I love this kind of stories! I made a song about Amelia Earhart, she tried to fly around the world but dissapeared, its on my channel.
Maybe I should make one about Aloha, some kind of fussion jazz, like Cassiopea inspired, like that kind of music that is played in race games, but with a funky twist. Aloha Wonderwell, in march.
Can’t wait for more great updates and content from this amazing channel!!!
I cannot believe I have never heard of this lady before today!!!! A very informative and education video!!!! Thank you.
Hey, Karl. I'm interested in a Geographics about inflation in Germany after the Treaty of Versailles was signed. I think it'll be a very interesting period to cover! Great video hosting on this one as well! I don't mind the tangents. I feel that it keeps the pace of the videos interesting.
You're the Best karl! Please keep beign the host
Well done all. marvelous story.
Imagine the curbs she struck…
She's the reason curbs were invented. To keep women on the roads. 😂
Love this, I'm always happy to see bios of women. It's hard to believe that no one has made a movie of her life, it's fascinating. Geena Davis would have been perfect for the part.
Good video thanks
Thanks.
Can we drop the intern from the introduction it's been like 5 months lol
well done
they didn't put the writer's info in the description
Wait this women is named after a hawaiian word and is not hawaiian. Oh while writing this u said it came later so its a nickname
Suggestion karl! Please do henry III of England. The most pious king of the country
Can y'all please do a video on Henry A. Wallace, George Westinghouse and Rutherford B. Hayes
I’d like to see a video about Jack Kevorkian
I prefer Karl because I can understand him when he speaks and he's not a fast talker. Also I like his pacing and enunciation
Woman.
Also, it would have been nice to have had more information on her later years.
Who WAS that guy half way through?
Yooo karl
Female drivers: no wonder it took so long.
i see karl i click
Suggestion: Can you please do one on The Kelly Gang from Australia?
Wow.. talk a a low bar for celebration
First *Woman

Honestly Karl is the best host for this channel. Simone was too serious, he is a better fit for his current channel.
Unfortunately the view counts completely disagree with you.
@user-zf7ig4uu1p give a brother a chance. He just started when Simone started was he pulling the same numbers? Plus to be honest the content is not the same as when Simone was the host which ultimately hurts Karl.
@@Warlord0302 I don’t dislike Karl. I think he’s doing a good job. I’m just pointing out that this channel hasn’t been as well since Simon left.
I totally disagree. Simon did such an incredible job with his voice and showing the best and worst of a story. You can clearly remember his narration. This guy you barely remember his format and views are much lower. I stay subscribed to Simon’s warographics
This leaves me wondering what would happen if Simon did this in the style of Brain Blaze.
i mean….she didn’t actually @make it around the world” though did she? 🤣
Bet she still couldn't park...🤣. Great story though.
I call bs as Japan is not land locked so impossible to drive to
Don't be silly. Then they drove the Pacific to San Francisco. Oh yeah ... really happened.
i mean….she didn’t actually “make it around the world” though did she? 🤣
Nope
I think Simon died
No, he is still around. Just not doing geographics anymore.
@@giselematthews7949 lol i know, i was just making a joke
After all
You're my Wanderwell
I suppose if she had taken her driving test and passed. She would have been able to turn left or right negating the extra long journey for some bread and milk. & Don't let's bring reversing a Car into it, as some women might be able to reverse fairly well after a few years practice. Maybe...
