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.

After a 1 hour and 15 minute fast paced uphill trek, I arrived at Paro Taktsang. The pilgrimage was like something out of Avatar, a dream to trek, through low hanging clouds with a harrowing drop at any given moment on either side. Prayer flags swayed through the pines, prayer wheels spinning in the breeze, and tsa-tsas (ashes of the dead) wedged between crevices of stone. Passing over a bridge and waterfall and up the last flight of stairs, I entered one of the chambers where I was completely alone. Tip-toeing past the glowing butter candles and sacred relics, I kneeled on a rug, cracked open an aged window and rested my head on the windowsill to reflect and admire the massive 2,000ft plunge into the vast Himalayan valley below, as clouds swiftly passed. Without my phone or camera equipment, I was able to consciously enjoy this moment in peace. ? • • • #expedition196 #everycountryintheworld

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.”

Of course, travelling is a great chance to open new horizons and learn something new for yourself. This has been made possible with the help of  Meets.com! Life is short! Take a chance right now! Travel the world, meet new friends and explore this big world together!
