How many countries have you ever visited? Only a handful of people can say that they have visited 10 or more foreign countries. Cassandra De Pecol, 27, has visited 181 countries since she started in July 2015.


She has 40 days left and 15 countries to visit to be the first documented woman to visit all 196 Sovereign states in the world.

If she can manage that feat, she will be breaking the Guinness World Record for being the fastest person to visit all Sovereign States on Earth.

Cassandra says her goal is to visit every country on earth in less than 3 years and 3 months.

She is calling this trip Expedition196; she is traveling on behalf of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism.

She started in Palau on July 1, 2015, and is traveling as An Ambassador for Peace.

So far, the trip has cost nearly $200,000 but is has all been covered by sponsors.

To help with her accommodations, Cassandra uses her Instagram account to serve as a platform for advertising.

Cassandra says she chose to live her life in a unique way.

She lives a low-key life, does what she wants when she wants and inspires others along the way.

It has been a memorable trip, she has met lion cubs.

Skied the mountains in Colorado.

And has relaxed on the beach in Kiribati.

There also were many beautiful sights like this spot in Mostar bridge located in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Traveling with her camera has been a must – and her trusty map!
