Traveling the World and Setting Records
From July 24, 2015, to February 2, 2017, Cassandra De Pecol traveled to every sovereign nation on Earth. A sovereign nation is an independent country with its own government.

Later, in 2019, another traveler named Taylor Demonbreun broke both of these records.

Her trip around the world cost about US$111,000. This money came from sponsors who supported her adventure. Cassandra also filmed her travels and shared them on her social media pages. This allowed many people to follow her journey.
