My grandma is famous.

For years since I was younger my parents always told me that my grandma was the most traveled woman in the world. She now lives with me and occasionally while talking to her I look at her trophy that she got when she was put into the Guinness world book of records.

Today I got bored and googled her name because she's never said much to me about it, and I found one interesting article on her:

Here's the paragraph she's in (her name is delphine):

Quote:
Not only is Bouvet utterly isolated from the rest of the world, but landing on it once you get there is next to impossible. John Clouse—"No. 1 world traveler," according to Guinness (see Clipperton Island profile)—has failed twice to reach Bouvet because of inclement weather: "I got 400 meters from there once, but had to turn back." One person who has made it to Bouvet is Delphine Cooper of South Bend, Indiana, who like Clouse, is a member of the Travelers' Century Club (initiation requires proof of having visited 100 or more countries and territories). Cooper chartered a boat to Bouvet, and after identifying a safe landing place, switched to a small rubber raft to make the final push to the shore. "I caught the weather just right," she reports. "It's not a beautiful island, but it's thrilling to know that I'm one of the few people that has ever set foot on it. What makes a place unique for me is the margin of difficulty to get there."
