Uskoro rekord: Devojka koja je obišla skoro sve zemlje sveta

Kada čujete da je neko putovao u pedeset zemalja, budete impresionirani, a ako je neko putovao u sto - to je zaista fascinantno. Dvadesetsedmogodišnja Kasandra de Pekol iz Konektikata je od jula 2015. posetila 181 zemlju sveta.

Neumorna avanturistkinja, koja planira da obiđe još 15 zemalja, na dobrom je putu da obori Ginisov rekord za osobe koje su do sada najbrže obišle sve suverene države (plus dodatnih 11 zemalja).

Svoje putovanje nazvala je Expedition196, a putuje kao ambasadorka mira u ime Međunarodnog instituta za mir.

Predstavnici ovog instituta su na Instagramu napisali da možda neće biti u stanju da je prate u stopu kada je reč o njenim putovanjima, ali bar mogu da uživaju u inspirativnim fotografijama koje deli na Instagramu.

After a 1 hour and 15 minute fast paced uphill trek, I arrived at Paro Taktsang. 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

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs • 💚 • #expedition196

Exulansis. 🕷 The tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it - whether through envy or pity or simple forgiveness - which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in the fog, no longer even looking for a place to land. @thedictionaryofobscuresorrows #expedition196 My travel partner (A.K.A.
