Zara Rutherford, 19, is set to be the youngest woman ever to fly solo around the world and she has opened up about her journey so far.<\/p>\n<p>Rutherford, a teen of British and Belgian descent, set off on Aug. 18 from Belgium and headed west toward America. She said although her journey has been tough from the start, it\u2019s definitely been worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough journey, but I am so happy to be here,\u201d said Rutherford. She has since made landfall in 12 countries and has made several stops in the U.S. Additionally, Rutherford recently visited a Virgin Galactic outpost in the American leg of her journey and described her time there as \u201camazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up I never really saw many women in the fields that I was interested in and always thought that was quite discouraging, so I\u2019m hoping to change that,\u201d she said. Her hope is that more young women will be moved to pursue careers in aviation and the STEM fields.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zara Rutherford, a 19-year-old pilot on a three-month bid to become the youngest woman to fly solo around the world, reached Costa Rica on Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OosvYvs6CB\">pic.twitter.com\/OosvYvs6CB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1435681845379837958?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The teen pilot also said she wants little girls around the world to see what she\u2019s doing and feel inspired to reach for the sky.
