Caroline goes round the world in 80 ways

DUBLIN woman Caroline Casey has completed a modern adventure version of the round-the-world trip created by author Jules Verne.

But instead of taking 80 days, the near-blind 31-year-old and three disabled companions took 80 different ways of travel. They used almost every imaginable mode of transport on their three-month trek, covering more than 20,000 miles in the process.

Caroline picked up a People of the Year Award last month for her tireless fundraising efforts for charity, which included a 1,000km-elephant ride across India last year.
