It’s easy to “travel” the world from the comfort of your home. There’s no shortage of vloggers showing us what each and every country has to offer. And you need just scroll through Instagram to live vicariously through them. There are people racking up impressive lists of places they’ve visited. And some even boast about having been to every, or almost every one.

Today, we can book a plane ticket using just our phones. We can find out about our destination long before we even arrive. We’re likely to know exactly where we are going. How long it’ll take to get there. What some things will cost. And what to pack. But it wasn’t always like that.

The Age of Exploration began in the 15th century. Also sometimes called the Age Of Discovery. Europeans started venturing out of their comfort zone and into the vast wide world. Fuelled by a drive to find trade routes, spices, knowledge and wealth. While their “discovery” of the Americas and Africa brought back big benefits, it also opened up the door to colonization and slavery.

Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias led the first European expedition around the southernmost tip of Africa. And helped pave the way for a trade route between Europe and Asia. Dias left Europe with three ships in August 1487. He managed to pass the Cape of Good Hope the following year. And sailed out of the Atlantic Ocean, around Cape Agulhas, and into the Indian Ocean.

I'm not really sure we should be including Liz Truss for the UK. She was only Prime Minister for six weeks, and for nearly two weeks of that Parliament was closed for national mourning for the Queen's death. I'm not blaming her for the death of the Queen, but given that the last official duty the Queen performed was to meet with and invite Liz Truss to form a Government before dying two days later, Liz Truss is clearly a jinx. 😆

Men are much tougher on women than they are men (also other women are quick to censure their own sex so they get it from both genders.). If Rishi Sunak, who lost phenomenally in an election, had been a woman, the male politicians would have ousted him long ago. Misogyny is stronger in the US than racism--proof is black men got the vote 1870 before women 1920.

Following hot on Dias’ heels was Christopher Columbus. He was an Italian explorer. He’s often credited with “discovering” the New World. But those already living there at the time might beg to differ. Columbus was on a mission to find a direct route from Europe to Asia. He made four transatlantic trips in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502.

Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan and his crew were the first to circumnavigate the globe. It took the crew three years to get back home. But it was so dangerous that only one ship returned. As History.com notes, “only 18 of the fleet’s original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.”
