Cassie De Pecol est la première femme a avoir visité 196 pays à travers le monde en seulement 18 mois. Un périple courageux pour cette voyageuse américaine hors norme âgée de 27 ans qui a entamé son voyage en juillet 2015. Cassie a battu un record avec son projet @Expedition196 , et devient ainsi la plus jeune femme à avoir visité autant de pays en si peu de temps. A la suite de ce tour du monde, la voyageuse a effectué le TOP 10 de ses destinations préférées et encourage les voyageurs et explorateurs à ne pas passer à côté des pays qui figurent dans son classement. Bonne surprise, pour nous, la Tunisie figue dans ce fameux classement, en 7ème position, devançant des pays comme le Perou ou Costa Rica. Le pays préféré de la voyageuse Cassie de Pecol, qui a dû faire tamponner 4 passeports durant ses escales et a pris pas moins de 250 vols, est la Mongolie. Cassie a commenté son passage en Tunisie sur les réseaux sociaux et a publié sur son compte instagram que "Ici (ndlr en Tunisie) vous pouvez expérimenter l'esprit du nord-Afrique. Il y'a un grand nombre d'anciens vestiges et le village de Sidi Bou Said situé à 20 km de la capitale Tunisie m'a juste agréablement surprise…". Nous partageons avec vous dans ce qui suit le TOP 10 des destinations préférées de celle qui a fait le tour du monde en 18 mois: 10 – USA (Amérique du nord) : Lots of questions coming in with the most common being, "How can I do what you do? I want to travel the world but don't know where to start." Thinking back to when the idea came about, I had to face several main fears of mine, the most prominent being death…The thought of maybe dying on this trip (sorry it's depressing, but it's true), since the risks, I was told, of traveling as a female alone would be "very high". Let me share with you what the first thing was that I had to overcome in order to get to where I am today. ???? If you choose to accept that the consequences of you pursuing your dream might involve death, if you're willing to not only face your fear, but embrace your fear, learn from your fears and accept the risk of death to pursue a dream, you've just taken the first step towards achieving something you never deemed possible for yourself to achieve. If you choose to face the inevitable consequences of death, your mind has already made room for the freedom and choice to devote every ounce of yourself towards making that dream happen. As soon as you accept the consequences of fear, failure, and death, there will be no other option, no other choice than to motivate yourself, devote yourself, every ounce of yourself, to persevere towards succeeding in your personal life's quest that you set out for yourself. So, throw yourself into the fire of your own fears; always know that death is near and accept that, and devote your life and every ounce of yourself to that specific quest. You can do anything, you can do what I do, if that's what you're into, but most importantly, you have the power to pursue your own goals and succeed in doing so by becoming accepting of death, fear and failure. #expedition196 Une publication partagée par Cassie De Pecol | Official (@expedition_196) le 10 Nov. 2016 à 15h03 PST 09 – Costa Rica (Amérique Centrale) 08 – Pérou (Amérique du sud) 07 – Tunisie (Afrique du nord) We can secure other people's approval if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that. – Mark Twain يمكننا الحصول على موافقة الشعب الاخرى اذا الحق تجتهد; الا ان حكومتنا تساوى مئات ولا التوصل الى ضمان ذلك. #SIDIBOUSAID blew me away ???? #Expedition196 #PeaceThroughTourism #EveryCountryInTheWorld #Tunisia Une publication partagée par Cassie De Pecol | Official (@expedition_196) le 3 Déc. 2015 à 7h22 PST 06 – Oman (Asie) I don't follow trends or try to compete with anyone.

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 Une publication partagée par Cassie De Pecol | Official (@expedition_196) le 6 Juil. 2016 à 2h58 PDT 01 – Mongolie (Asie) Away from wifi, social media and being totally alone tucked away in a remote location with this wild husky and the wild horses for my 27th birthday brought me to the happiest and most peaceful place I'd ever been to on this expedition. For that, I am eternally grateful. And I now know what I want when this expedition is all said and done… ⛰ #wildmongolia #expedition196 Une publication partagée par Cassie De Pecol | Official (@expedition_196) le 26 Juin 2016 à 4h30 PDT S.B.
