The oldest person on earth unveiled

Elizabeth Israel (Ma Pampo) has gained fame as the world's oldest living person. This lady is alive and well . Pampo is the world's oldest , ever documented human, currently resides in Glanvillia, Dominica, West Indies.

The daughter of a slave, she started working in a plantation in Picard, Portsmouth, at the age of 25 and retired 79 years later. She says she has lived to 132 (she was born on January 27, 1875) because of her diet -including lots of dumplings and bush tea.

 Wow; the things we learn on VT! Thanks so much for sharing all your stories & info & great photos - top 5 stars all around! For the time being I'm not travelling for beaches, so this summer it's back to Scotland! What about you? Have a great day / Jess

 Excellent useful tips on Dominica. Hope I can visit the Caribbean one day. Right now have to be happy with just postcards from there :) SL

 Some excellent tips here. The low ratings puzzle me. Maybe some kind of VT glitch. I was in Dominica about 20 years ago, arrived and departed on a LIAT prop which held only about 10 passengers. The island was very undeveloped - and absolutely georgeous.
