Amerikalı genç kadın Cassie De Pecol, Temmuz 2015’te başladığı macerasını 18 ayda tamamladı.

ABD'nin Connecticut kentinde yaşayan Cassie De Pecol, 2015 yılının temmuz ayında 196 ülkeyi gezmeye karar verdi. Yanına yalnızca bir çanta ve fotoğraf makinesi alan genç kadın bu hedefini 18 ayda tamamladı. İşte Cassie De Pecol'un 18 ayda dünyayı dolaşırken yaşadığı serüvenlerin görselleri;

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

Just talked about my (potential) newest project for YOU on Snapchat (@cassiedepecol) which would involve mentoring you guys through online webinars, Skype sessions, etc. that would further your potential with following your dreams in regards to entrepreneurial development (and travel). Is this something you guys would be interested in? No worries if not, but if so, comment below and let me know! Also what specific types of things you'd want me to cover (sponsors, trip planning, business plans, etc). 📝 If I see a serious interest then I'll start working to have it scheduled for you guys in the new year, I'll need a minimum of 1,000 of you guys (youth, students, dreamers and doers) to want to sign up! There'd probably be a small monthly fee since you guys would be the first to see the documentary and be exposed to the new book, as well as tons of inside tips to finding sponsors and investors, but not too much, I promise, since I know most of you are students and I've been there too 🌞. Looking forward to reading your comments!! 😀 Thanks!! 🌎❤️🌎

Some people, when they hear your story, contract. Others upon hearing your story, expand. And this is how you know. - Nayyirah Waheed • • • Tama's curiosity was so innocent and humble. She was generous and strong. That home made tortilla you see sitting on a plate on the floor, she would not let me leave until I ate it all, and drank my entire mug filled with the freshly squeezed camel milk that her son had brought in just moments prior in these massive iron bowls. We didn't speak the same language, but exchanged so many words through just our smiles and eye contact. She was seemingly happy and content living in the simplicity of it all, near to the border of Yemen. I met her family who she loves, who loves her. She lives in a beautiful home with simple, artisan decor, and is nourished by fresh, traditional food, including baby popcorn made from the corn grown in her garden, not to mention the camel milk that makes a nutritiously bitter yogurt, which she also had me try. And yet, she liked to sit in silence on the floor at the front door of her home, watching the camels walk by while feeling the fresh breeze. I loved the color of her abaya and hijab, my favorite color and so beautiful on her. I told her this and she thought it was funny. Moments like these make travel and living in the moment, living in simplicity, so real. 💙💚

We cruised through a category 10 "storm" on the Beaufort Scale with 30-40ft waves and 50 knot winds. Safe to say, many of us were in our rooms throughout most of those two days as we crossed through. The Captain told us that it was the worst storm he'd seen since 2005 and also, that had we not left earlier than originally planned, the storm would have been, and I quote, an "unsurvivable" one. What a fantastic Captain to ensure our safety. It was an adventure and I honestly wouldn't have had it any other way even if I was a little uneasy about the waves 🌊🇦🇶💙 • • • Thanks for the pic @takingtimeout as we touched down on Paradise Island 👌🏽
