First and youngest American woman to visit every nation ranks Pakistan 5th best country in the world
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.



Beginning when Cassie was 23 on the Pacific island of Palau in July 2015, the trip lasted 18 months and 26 days - half the time of the previous Guinness World Record.



Her journey, Expedition196, was almost entirely funded by sponsorship, has been an installation in sustainability and ethical eco-friendly tourism.

Talking about Pakistan, she said that one must visit it “to get a true sense of raw, authentic Asian culture, and for the food”.
