27-year-old Cassie De Pecol from Connecticut set off on 24 July 2015 and completed her ambitious project on 2 February 2017, documenting her journey online as she went. ‘Expedition 196’, as her challenge was named, saw De Pecol smash the existing record of three years and three months, set by previous record-holder Yili Liu. De Pecol visited all 196 countries in 18 and a half months.
