A 29 year-old woman, Bethany Hughes "Fidget" will start her 20,000 mile trek from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Barrow, Alaska. If she completes this, she will be the first documented woman to travel the length of the Americas. She is very excited to start this 5 year expedition, while making stops along the way to educate and inspire people. She will begin this non-monetized trip in December.
I think that it is very cool that she is fulfilling her dreams, while educating people along the way. She really wants to learn about other people's way of life and promote woman rights in all the places she reaches along the way. "Our world is only as big as the information that we allow to come into it," Hughes continued, "so I believe being able to share what's going on to the opposite side of the world, and that they're not so different than us, we're going to make it a lot further."

That is so incredible that she is traveling 20,000 miles! I hope she accomplishes her goal and bringing feminism to countries that need it will help bring equal rights. (Bella Di Fazio pd:8)
