Lina Bögli undertook two major journeys and wrote a book about each. From 1882 to 1902, the daughter of a small farmer from Bern traveled around the world from Poland. Alone and penniless. In Australia, she earned her first money as a tutor. She had to work to live and get ahead. For 10 years via New Zealand, the Samoa Islands, Hawaii, to America and Canada. She wrote an epistolary novel about this, "Forward", which first became a bestseller in English, then in German, Polish and French.
Her second trip took the 52-year-old from Friedrichshafen to Asia in the fall of 1910. She worked as a teacher in Japan and China. After her return, she wrote her second book "Immer Vorwärts" (Always Forward) about her trip to Asia in Poland in 1913. From spring 1914, she lived in "Kreuz" Herzogenbuchsee until her death in 1941. She was active in social life, gave lectures on her travels, wrote in her diary and corresponded with her acquaintances worldwide throughout her life.
