Навколо світу за півроку: американка побила рекорд

27-річна американка Кассандра Де Пеколь стала першою жінкою, котра здійснила навколосвітню подорож, а також першою людиною, якій вдалося це зробити за такий малий проміжок часу.

В середньому на кожну країну вона витрачала від 2 до 5 днів. Своїми враженнями вона ділилася в Instagram. У ході подорожей вона зустрічалася з місцевими студентами та влаштовувала для них презентації.

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.

Загалом на навколосвітню подорож вона витратила 200 тисяч доларів.

Just a few of my friends who hosted me for lunch in #Yemen. These were just half of the brothers who I dined with, the ladies don't like to have their photos taken and I wanted to respect that, they were all so shy yet so incredibly sweet and kind. The citizens of Yemen are really, so hospitable and happy. I loved being in their company. They live so simply yet comfortably with the love of their family. Family is very important in Yemen. I'm so honored that Yemen was my last and final country of #Expedition196. The most challenging to get to but one of the most rewarding once in . Zero fears, zero regrets, just respect, acceptance and love

Звичайно ж, не обійшлося й без пригод. До прикдаду, в Перу її пограбували в таксі, погрожуючи ножем, на Гренаді її прийняли за наркокур'єра та відпустили лише після ретельного огляду, в Північній Кореї солдат заглянув їй у очі та сказав: "Ми вас знищимо", а в Бахрейні та Лівії туристку запідозрили у співпраці з ЦРУ.

Relish your own sacred experiences of travel, no two one is better or worse given the circumstances • • • Still, many people think that spending even a day in a country doesn't count as actually "being there", let alone the providing one the ability to "experience" anything. I know a lot of you who follow my journey are travelers, so I'm going to ask you to chime in on this in the comments section down below. Tell me the best experiences you have had in the shortest amount of time in a country. How did time impact your experience? What made your experience so memorable? Do you think if you had stayed there longer, it would have made for a more powerful experience or was the drive to maximize time what made that experience all the more enriching? • • • Some of the most powerful and life-changing experiences I've had during my travels, happened over the course of an hour or two. On a bus heading to Chile after a short stay in Bolivia, I sat next to a local Bolivian woman who shared tons of local indigenous fruits with me and we shared a long, amazing conversation in my broken Spanish and her broken English. This was the best "Bolivian" experience I'd had and it happened over the course of 4 hours. I even lived in Bolivia for 2 months years ago and didn't have the opportunity to meet someone so intriguing nor taste such eclectic local fruits, in those two months. Or in North Korea, where the most powerful handshake of my life happened with the soldier in this photo. It was 5 minutes of power and fear that shaped my life in a major way. I could go on and on but the bottom line is; yes, 2 days is more than enough. Maximize your time, leave all preconceptions at the door to allow for the ability to dive in head first, and let the unknown of these quick yet deep experience win you over. Sometimes we need to let go of this theory of time determining whether or not we are able to gain a sense of place. Sometimes... that one experience is just enough to peak your interests to want to go back in the future to dive for something deeper. But then again, maybe not. • • • So... what are some of yours?! ‍♀️

До слова, попередній рекордсмен-мандрівник професор зі США Або Лю здійснив поїздку за три роки, три місяці та шість днів.
