Aloha Wanderwell: First Women to Drive Around the World
“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.”

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.
Aloha Wanderwall... perfect name for such an achiever too haha 😁

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.
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.
Imagine the curbs she struck…

She's the reason curbs were invented. To keep women on the roads. 😂
Well done all. marvelous story.
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
Can we drop the intern from the introduction it's been like 5 months lol
Thanks.
well done
You're the Best karl! Please keep beign the host
they didn't put the writer's info in the description
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
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
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.
Yooo karl
Who WAS that guy half way through?
Suggestion: Can you please do one on The Kelly Gang from Australia?
Female drivers: no wonder it took so long.
i see karl i click

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.

@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.

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.
Bet she still couldn't park...🤣. Great story though.

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...
