ISLAMABAD – An American woman, who has just broken the world record of being the youngest woman (27) to travel all the 196 sovereign states in record time (18 months 26 days), ranks Pakistan as the fifth best country in the world to visit.
Cassandra De Pecol is the first and fastest documented woman to travel to every sovereign nation.
