She’s hoping to become the first documented woman to travel to all 196 countries. Cassandra only has 15 more to visit in the next 40 days


The trip has cost almost $200,000 so far but the costs are covered by sponsors


She also uses her Instagram as a platform for advertising in exchange for free accommodation


She’s only 27 but she’s already seen more than most will see in a lifetime


From meeting lion cubs and skiing in the mountains of Colorado


To relaxing on the beach in Kiribati



Cassandra doesn’t go anywhere without her camera and her map of course 




She’s well on course to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest person to travel to all Sovereign States (plus an additional 11 countries). Her amazing journey is called Expedition196 and she’s traveling as an Ambassador for Peace on behalf of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism. We might not be able to follow in her footsteps, but we can at least follow her inspirational journey via Instagram. Go Cassandra!
