Do you like travelling? If taking trips is your favorite way of spending your spare time, then this post will inspire you for sure!
27-year-old girl Cassie De Pecol, let’s call her MISS UNIVERSE, is close to completing an incredible mission – to visit all the 193 sovereign states of the world, including Taiwan, Kosovo and Palestine. This fearless traveler from Connecticut, USA, began her journey in July 2015, immediately after her 25th birthday celebration.She has already crossed out 180 countries from her wish-list, having made 254 flights to achieve her goal. Now, Cassie has only 45 days and 26 flights left to complete the biggest journey of her whole life.
This incredible journey became possible for the girl thanks to sponsors and investors who have contributed to the creation of an educational documentary that Cassie is filming during her exciting round the world trip.
The girl, being a Peace ambassador for the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism and Skal International, organizes meetings with tourism students from different parts of the world to discuss questions concerning the responsible eco tourism and the economy.
Also Cassie is co-working with travelers and scientists who are involved in collecting water samples for testing them for the presence of microplastics.
Cassie in one of her interviews said: “Since school, I’ve had this desire to visit every country in the world, intrigued to learn more about every culture, natural habitat, and religion.”
“Going to every country was for me a personal quest to learn as much as I could about our world, stepping outside my comfort zone and becoming comfortable in the unknown, while also aiming to leave a legacy behind.”
Being for 15 months on the road, Cassie has faced both highs and lows, but she agrees that travelling solo helped her shape some of her life experience.
Cassie usually spends from two to five days in each country.
Finally, Cassie said some really great words: “Though I haven’t yet become the first documented woman to travel every country in the world, I imagine that the feeling of accomplishment and awe will be overwhelming.”
