An amazing achievement in such a short space of time.
It’s pretty much everyone’s dream to go on an adventure travelling the world and discovering exotic, far-flung places. It’d be amazing.
A woman from America named Cassie De Pecol did the whole thing in one go, and by ‘the whole thing’ we mean she travelled to every country in the world in one trip.
Cassie visited all 196 countries in a manic 18 and a half months period on a challenge she called ‘Expedition 196’.

The incredible journey saw her break the Guinness World Record for visiting every country in the world in the shortest amount of time, she destroyed the previous record of three years and three months which was set by a guy called Yili Liu.
Cassie spent only between two to five days in each country and she had a budget of £160,000.
The 27-year-old left her home in Connecticut on July 24, 2015 and returned a few weeks ago on February 2, 2017.
