Phileas Fogg's wager of £20,000 would be worth over £1.8 million in 2020.
Fogg's hip flask is engraved 'Traveler' this is US spelling, not British spelling. It should be 'Traveller'
The opening credits are set around a clockwork timepiece that displays moving landscapes around its rim.
So disappointing - not much of Verne left
I like when things get re-imagined, as long as the heart of the classic story and the essence of the characters - all that made the original story - is still strongly there. This adaption isn't that: Phileas Fogg in the book is a cool, mathematically precise, unflappable man, always in control of himself and his surroundings. Passepartout calls him "a machine." But in this, Fogg is an unorganized, scared, scampering bundle of fear - there is nothing of Verne's hero here at all. Jean Passepartout in the book is a curious, pleasant, friendly man who balances Fogg's cool demeanor and who has lead an adventurous life but is ready to settle down and serve as Fogg's domestic help. He's creative and emotional. In this, he's got some sort of violent insurgency in his past, and he's on the run, and lacks most of what made Verne's character so compelling. I was so excited to see this... and gave up after two episodes. So disappointing. Pretty, though.

This book is interesting and keeps your attention the whole way through! At first I was kind of irritated at the author for not giving Olivier, the cute French guy a chance. But then towards the end of the book she starts to realize she has to let things flow and not try to control them. She seems to feel more at home in America than in Europe and starts to unwind a bit and then she falls in love! She planned her dates with no down-time at the beginning and therefore was grumpy all the time! It makes you realize how important it is to always have time for yourself alone otherwise you can't enjoy things no matter how nice they are. Better to travel to one spot and stay a while than to always be on the move and tired. Great book!
I just ordered this book for my daughter. I read it between 10 and 15 years ago. It was fun to read and in a roundabout way it inspired me to be more proactive in pursuing a life partner. I’ve now been remarried for eight plus years!
Funny book. I really enjoyed reading her stories.
Funny and engaging. Brings back so many great memories of dating. I’ve only gotten to page 114, but I can’t think of anyone I know who wouldn’t enjoy this lighthearted read. Bravo Jennifer! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
5.0 out of 5 stars

fantastic boo, arrived safe and well packaged. having had the opportunity to read this, I can highly recommend it! It is a must! it is fantastic!!! buy from amazon as much cheaper than the shops!
I’m afraid I did not enjoy reading the book at all. Even though the writer tries hard to keep the reader entertained with so many plot twists, I could not get mentally involved.
I swear I have never read a more tedious book in my life, how this can be marketed as Travel Literature defies belief, it contains precious little travel writing or descriptive text at all. Instead we are treated to a extremely long and boring account of one woman's desperate attempts to find herself a husband - clearly done with the book in mind!! So if I were the poor unfortunate who eventually got picked as the author's "soul mate" I'd be asking myself juat how much cash she's made out of our whirlwind romance! Its like a kiss and tell before there's even been much kissing! Considering how much the author rambles on about what a "spontaneous traveller" she is and basically just how jolly great she is and how she can't understand how no lovely man has ever realised this, she is really really dull. Her writing is patchy and disjointed, her descriptions are poor or nonexistent and the plot that the whole book hangs on is pathetic. She even makes the other poor guys on her datefest sound dull and I am sure that not all of them could have been. Bad bad book, this was even recommended in Heat as the book of the week - all I can say is she must have paid them and that Gene has clearly had a lucky escape. Do not touch with a bargepole - Jordan's book was better than this.......

As head of PR and spokesperson for Lonely Planet travel guides, Jennifer Cox has explored the most remote regions, toured the most exotic terrains, and bonded with people the world over. So how come finding her soul mate in London turns out to be a virtual dead end? Certain that the man of her dreams is out there somewhere, Jennifer sets out on the trip of a lifetime, dating her way around the globe—across 18 countries in 6 months—to find The One.
Around the World in 80 Dates is a fresh, funny, emotionally honest and revealing account of Jennifer's global dating adventures. From the Skate Date in Paris to the High Roller in Vegas, from the Love Professor in Sweden to the Dead Date in Italy, Jennifer tests her chemistry with a bevy of potential partners, assisted by her loyal Date Wranglers. But as she continues to flit from country to country, her adventure takes on a life of its own. If Mr. Right is out there, somewhere, is he worth giving up the trip of a lifetime?
Join Jennifer Cox on a date with Fate and see if travelling the world in search of love really is a passport to happiness.
Settling into a steady rhythm of drinking, crying, drinking, crying, I became aware of the music for the first time: ‘ Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to . . .’ I glared at the radio: I’ve always hated that song. My feeling was that if the only way a man can remain standing upright is by leaning heavily on you, surely it’s best just to let him fall right on over. But since today was the day I’d discovered Kelly had been cheating on me for pretty much the five years we’d been together, I let out a long, ragged sigh: too exhausted to cry any more. It was also the day I had to accept that maybe there’s a little bit of Tammy in us all? I really loved Kelly. Which was surprising because he actually wasn’t that loveable. He was very sexy – one of those dark, brooding types, with piercing green eyes and a tangle of curly black hair. He was tall and strong, with a gentle mouth and a chest broad enough to do a week’s ironing on. But he was also self-centred, secretive and moody. The kind of guy who sits in the corner of a bar, smouldering over a beer and a shot. For some reason I was drawn to ‘the difficult ones’, and Kelly was as difficult as they came. A man who would sooner eat broken glass than tell you where he’d been, what his plans were or if he loved you. I have no idea why I kept trying: when he’d wanted to go to parties on his own; stayed out late; kept a phone number with just an initial next to it . . . In fact, for some reason it made me try harder. Over our five years together, as Kelly morphed into Clint Eastwood, I increasingly turned into Coco the Clown, pulling out all the stops to entertain him, make him feel involved, get his attention. I did the emotional equivalent of driving a small red pedal car around the ring of our relationship, frantically parping on my little horn as bunches of flowers popped out my shirt and small men in orange wigs, emptied buckets of custard down my trousers and twanged my big red nose. It was not dignified. And, ultimately, it was pointless. I knew in my heart we would only ever share a ‘now’. Never a future. Then I rang the number with the initial next to it, and our ‘now’ was over.
As soon as I split up with Kelly I went straight to the airport and got on a plane to New York City. The experience of being in New York is like stroking a man-eating tiger: as much as it scares the bejesus out of you, for those moments it allows you to touch it, you know you are blessed and immortal.
And on this occasion, like every other I’d been there, New York uplifted me. I lost myself in the markets, boutiques and coffee shops around Greenwich Village and Harlem, whacked softballs in the batting cages over on Coney Island until my arms sang. Being in the city didn’t cure my heartache but it distracted me and stopped it getting worse, and for that I was grateful.
I actually had to be in New York for work, so in a way it was good timing (if such a thing exists when you’re talking about splitting up with your boyfriend). But then again, I worked in the travel industry so it wasn’t that unusual for me to be heading off somewhere. I loved travelling and had been determined to get a job in the industry from the moment I discovered its unerring ability to make me feel really good.
This was especially true after an ugly break-up. Some say that time is a great healer, but I discovered years ago that it’s actually travel that quite literally moves you on. Staying on the crime scene of an awful break-up is the worst thing you can do: too many painful memories and reminders. I subscribe to the ‘pack up your troubles’ school of relationship recovery, and let me tell you, it works. It had been almost by accident that I’d learnt travel mends a broken heart. I was 18 and William was the first big love of my life. We were at school together and shared the kind of pure and trusting love only possible when you have yet to experience that first deep cut. When William dumped me out of the blue for Melanie (a girl who shopped at Miss Selfridge, who had never even been to Glastonbury), I was completely unprepared for the shock. I spent that whole summer after my A levels moping around: crying on my best friend Belinda’s shoulder, making her come for long walks so I could tell her (again) how awful it was and how I was never going to get over it. But when, at the end of summer, I left home for Leeds University, I was really surprised to discover that out of sight really was out of mind. Here I was in a whole new place, with no painful memories. There was no danger of bumping into Will and Mel in Leeds, I didn’t have to go to our places on my own or have people drop into conversation that they’d all been out together the night before. So, free from constant reminders of my old Will and his new girlfriend, I got over him and on with my life.
All thanks to the M1 and National Express coaches. But my lesson in the healing power of travel didn’t end there. It was my next boyfriend who taught me that travel makes things easier for the dumper (as opposed to the dumpee) too. Peter was the guitarist in a band I sang with in Leeds, and we lived together for most of my time at university. He was gentle, kind and very cute. But sadly, as time went on, it became increasingly clear that ‘gentle and kind’ weren’t enough. I really didn’t want to hurt him – Peter didn’t deserve that, plus I remembered how bad it felt – but as much as I loved him, I felt restless and the need to move on. But I couldn’t end it. I really tried: I’d psych myself up, telling myself I was going through with it this time, but at the last minute I’d think about how upset Peter would be and I’d lose my nerve. Actually, a couple of times I did end it, but Peter persuaded me to give us another chance. I was hopeless: I just couldn’t face his heartache and make a clean break. Until I went to Australia.
It was one of those whimsical decisions that only makes sense after you’ve done it. I’d just graduated from university and had no idea what I wanted to do next. Going to Australia on my own for three months suddenly seemed the perfect solution: it would be both an adventurous challenge and the chance to think everything through.
So I flew into Perth, Western Australia. And virtually the first thing I did when I arrived was to call Peter and split up with him. As crazy as it sounds, I needed to go to the other side of the world to do it: I wasn’t there to watch him fall apart, knowing it was my fault and still caring about him. And because I didn’t feel wracked with the guilt I would have felt at home, I got over it far more quickly (as did he). I was free to fall madly in love with Australia and I stayed, travelling all over Australasia for the next six years.
I think I have to be honest at this point and confess it wasn’t only Australia I fell madly in love with. I might have been Peter’s girlfriend when I flew into Australia, but six months after arriving I was Philip’s wife.
I’d been in Australia for two weeks when I met Philip. He worked at a theatre company where I’d landed a job, and it was love at first sight. A spellbinding, charismatic, risk-all Outback Romeo, I
