ADVENTUROUS Jenni Stevenson from Dorchester resigned from her job as a senior prison officer and has jetted off on a holiday of a lifetime. She is taking advantage of budget airline Ryanair's
offer to fly for £1 and she is taking 10 flights and visiting six countries over the next few weeks.
Starting from Bournemouth, the itinerary takes in Dublin, Cork, Glasgow, Paris, Madrid, Marseille, Fez in Morocco, Barcelona and Pisa.
Mrs Stevenson, who is travelling light with just one bag, plans to stay a few days in each city and sleep on camping sites.
