Amelia Earhart went to fly around the world in the year of 1937
Amelia Earhart, at age 40, flew a Lockheed Electra Vega (along with her navigator Fred Noonan) around the world. She did not make the entire trip and was last seen in Japan.In 1928, the plane that she flew across the Atlantic as a passenger, piloted by Wilmer Stutz, was a Fokker F.VIIB called the "Friendship."When she made her solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932, landing in Ireland, the plane was a Lockheed Vega that she referred to as the "Little Red Bus," probably due to its comparatively roomy interior.The jury is out on this one. Some say it was a Lockheed Vega and others claim a Fokker F....can anyone help out here??
She was 21 when she flew herself .
Amelia flew to so many places across US and the world it is impossible to list them all.

There were several who flew around the world but they did it with several stops. In 1924, a team of US Navy personnel flew 3 floatplanes around the world.The first solo flight around the world was made by a young German noble, Baron F.K. Koenig-Warthausen. At 21 years of age, and with only a few hours flying experience, he flew from Berlin to Moscow and continued around the world.Another adventurer was a speed loving English lady, the Honourable Mrs. Victor Bruce, who, with only a few weeks flying experience, set off in 1930 and flew around the world in her small biplane.Also a German lady pilot, Elly Beinhorn, also in a Klemm, flew around the world in 1931. None of them could fly their aircraft across the high seas, and all three made their crossings aboard liners.The first "true solo" pilot was Wiley Post in 1933 in his Vega, the "Winnie Mae".Source: soloflights.org/intro_e.html
