Aloha Wanderwell: First Woman to Circle the Globe by Car

Aloha Wanderwell: First Women to Drive Around the World 2 Mar 2024 --- “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.” → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

Robin Hood: The Most Celebrated Outlaw in All of History

Robin Hood: The Most Celebrated Outlaw of All Time 1 Apr 2024 --- We find ourselves in England, during the late 12th century. The country is in disarray as King Richard the Lionheart is off fighting in the Crusades, leaving his throne exposed to the devious machinations of Prince John. The younger sibling covets his brother’s power and plans to steal the English crown for himself. He is aided by the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham, who uses unaffordable taxes in order to oppress the peasantry and fill his master’s coffers. Is there nobody who will stand up to such tyrants? Nobody who will pick up the bow and the sword and fight for the innocent people of England? Well, in fact, there is one such man. A brave outlaw who will lead a gang of rogues and outcasts against the reign of terror. A charitable bandit who will steal from the rich and give to the poor. A man known as Robin Hood! → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
