In 1872, a doctor told "frail invalid" Isabella Bird to travel for her health.

She didn’t just take a cruise - she ended up riding 1,300km through the Rockies in winter and becoming a world-class explorer.

Watch her story below!

"I have found a dream of beauty at which one might look all one's life and sigh." (On the Rocky Mountains)

✒ #IsabellaBird, English historian, naturalist, and explorer, #DOTD 7 October 1904. #History #Travel

Like the Queen of Cups, Isabella Bird traveled with deep intuition and an open heart: turning solitude into strength and adventure into healing. Her journeys remind us that rivers etch their stories into stone.

#VROUWENDAG! ☀️Een mooie dag om een wat reisheldinnen in het zonnetje te zetten! De eerste: #IsabellaBird ging de hele wereld over, kwam op plekken waar mannen zich indertijd amper durfden te vertonen en kon leven van de boeken die zij daarover schreef. #reisheld
