Truly a quote to live by. I went to Copenhagen for just 2 days. I ended up hanging out with people from 2 continents, seeing the city, partying, karaoke. I NEVER saw it coming! I thought it‘d be a quick city trip! It ended up being amazing!
I spent 6 months travelling in one country and still feel like there are so many places and things unexplored. For me I'd rather travel deep and take it slowly; I learn and experience more from travelling one country for a few months than visiting dozens of countries in one month. Just my own perspective, I don't really care how many countries I've been to - the number of countries doesn't define the growth I gain from travel. And I don't always agree a person who's travelled 100 countries is better travelled than a person who's only been to 10 countries. But so many people nowadays are turning travelling as a competition, or something like "done, been to this country, corss it from list, where next?".
I strongly agree. The number of your countries you’ve been doesn’t mean the growth you gained, you just put yourself into a vagrant and think it’s an achievement 😂
I know a lot of people still think that it is something impressive to travel solo as a woman across the world! The truth is, that there are more women doing it then you can imagine! Women who cycle all around the world, even walking around the world, camping, hiking, volunteering and traveling OVER LAND without flying on a little budget to see as much as possible! Traveling is so diverse and everyone has it's own speed of traveling. Everyone has a different Idea of what to achive from it. Some are running away from life some towards it. Don't care what other people do, just do your thing!
@@Just_a_Lad- Yep, hit the talk show circuit - with the internet, it's easier than ever. You can know almost everything about the country (from locals or other travelers) before you visit.
You have completed my life goal! I never wanted to be the fastest to visit every country but I desperately want to travel to every country on the planet before I die. You are an amazing woman!
*My goal was to visit every continent before I die. I've only traveled through Europe and Latin America, and of course, within the U.S. I would love to some day go to India, Japan, Morocco and Samoa. Maybe, some day, when I retire. If and when I do travel again, I went to take my time and enjoy each place. At least spend a week in each country. Enjoy the cuisine and visit the sites.*
I got teary twice while watching this. The first time was during your Cuba story when you illuminated the gorgeousness of the human spirit. So touching, and that story does not get told enough! The second was when you made yourself completely vulnerable to the world and talked about your depression and the 'dark night of the soul' moment you experienced. I know those dark nights can extend far longer, however it's super inspiring to hear you so articulate, so compassionate, so aware, and so open. I feel for you Cassie and all you've been through. Thank you for sharing your story. This is what truth and beauty looks like.
Love the story about 🇨🇺 Cuba! Latins are always warm and welcoming people. Love to travel and I started doing it when I had no answer for my life. Thanks for sharing.
❣️Love from Pakistan.🇵🇰 I am here because I watched her two to three TV interviews mentioning Pakistan as beautiful and peaceful country and she like Pakistan most among 195. So I was searching for her name and came here .
This video have made me inspired. I'm 20 years old Indonesian teens and just couple months ago, i just realised how valuable is ur life, I took my life for granted and since that moment i realised that life is more important than that. "You'll live for one hour, or you'll live for 1 thousand years. But the beauty of it, you'll never knew". This couple weeks, i decided to change my faith way, my perspective, i'm gonna start my own journey at next march
I've been to 78 countries. I can't imagine 196. There are some countries of which I wouldn't even want to visit for at least a decade until things clear up.
2 and counting. Oh, never mind... Just kidding. It's just 2 but if all goes well, next year I'll be able to visit more of them. I'm so excited! But, in my opinion, it's not the number that counts. It's the experience. You can be in all the countries in the world and still someone else has had a better experience than yours. Still, travelling is great! :D
You are right Cassie. No matter what happens, don't give up. Follow your dreams and work hard towards them. You will get there someday. Thank you Cassie for this amazing trip.
Traveling can be part of the profitable business. There are economic imbalances in prices of products around the world. It is possible to travel around, and to trade the things that have price differences between countries.
I am shocked nobody has mentioned her trip to Panama. They made a whole show about it! You can see all of her incredible skills on display! Her specialty skills are making fire and making trap baskets! Her super power though is self delusion. It knows no bounds...
I had only been to just one country & the experiences changed me a great deal. Can't imagine what travelling to the whole world would be like. Mind-blowing
This REALLY spoke to me. The past 3+ months I've been contemplating this same thing. I can either go to college after this year of high school or run away to see the world. The best week of my life happened to be with complete strangers in a distant place, and ever since I've wanted the same feelings of adventure amd connection again. I think this just convinced me to go.
No , the real reason that you travelled 196 countries is because you are an american and you got a passport that allow you to visit over 170 countries . But for a guy like me with an Eritrean passport I can't do so much when it come to travel.
Sure, i can visit any country i want with my 300 us dollars monthly income :) Accept that, being citizen of USA, Germany, UK, France etc any developed country gets you remarkably ahead in any area of life.
Thank you for sharing your honest and self-revealing testimony, it confirmed that what you are looking for is not outside but inside. you saw a little bit of you in every country you visited. Congratulations. Stop searching... start enjoying.
As an adventurer and traveler, whether visiting all countries or several countries and visiting some countries are all great to learn, know the different cultures and the country itself. But the most important is to have fun of what you do at the time when you are and enjoy the good times with yourself ! 🤍🤍
Seems like she just hopped through the world without actually experiencing it deeply. It was more about the quantity over quality. Sounds like more stress than enjoyment. 2-6 days per country is nothing!
Omg, there’s so many negativ comments. Why? What for? She is just a normal girl, who wanted to do something positive with her life. And she did it! Cassie, I heard about you for the first time but I want to tell you that I’m proud of you! And I hope you had a wonderful time when visiting my country, Poland. Take care girl! The world is yours! Kamil from Poland
"The best way to be happy is to make others happy." I'm sure you positively impacted many others in your pursuit. A genuine smile sure can go a long way, especially for those in despair., and I have a feeling you spread your warm smile around the globe. I think your story is as much the story and experiences of everyone you encountered as well. Thank you for enduring such an arduous adventure, you have clearly made an impact. Time will tell if it's the impact you desire :)
Love this Cassi! This is just the video I needed see to help give me the push to book my first SOLO trip! I leave for Yosemite National Park in 2 weeks for a hiking trip and couldn't be more inspired or empowered after watching this video!
I can´t believe, that after travelling 196 countries she came to the recognition of the inherent Goodness of people...She really must have had God protecting her with tons of good luck !
What experience? Surely not making friends - maybe entering and exiting so many airports and planes - she became an expert and now can do it with her eyes closed.
I love how people are bashing her for not travelling the way they see fit. To each their own! Some people travel to immerse themselves in a different culture, others prefer to do the whole touristy thing, while someone else might just go on shopping trips around the world. Their time, their money, their preference. Doesn't mean it's wrong.
Ignore the haters. Small people always hate people who brave their fears and do great deeds. You're awesome, Cassie! Respect. By the way, it is not unusual for highly intelligent people to suffer from serious depression and melancholy, so, you're not alone.
I love the solo female travel side of this experience but what about her carbon footprint? the time spent with the locals? To me she has been travelling way too fast, not experiencing it enough because she was jetlaged and had 2 days or so only in the country which took her some 3 months and hundreds of dollars to get a visa to ... Was it just to break the record and create the buzz?
I think it is wierd how Cassie reacts to negative comments. I get it, negative comments can hurt someone but not explaining it and shutting someone off by saying someone is just jelouse doesn't really gives a good impression. And Noemie really has a point and is just saying what she thinks what you might have missed out on is just her way of saying that she wouldn't want to travel that way and that is fair enough! I agree on that, I wouldn't either. No jelousy here as traveling is my life right now. Just be okay with the fact that not everyone sees the joy in rushing from country to country!
Very good point. I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad that she feels empowered and excited by the trip itself, but I definitely had some questions, too.
Cassie De Pecol i feel sorry for you, from a fellow solo female traveller. Take your time, whats the point of travelling if its only to get some trophy stamps and break a record.
I am a woman, travelled to 40 something countries, few of them solo. I visited few of them many times, because I love them, I dont go somewhere just to have next country on my list, instead I sometimes prefer to go to the same great place again. I dont even post photos on fb or anywhere else from most of my travels. I dont need recognition for that. When I hear somebody travelled like this, just to get world record and giving speeches about it, the first thing that comes to my mind is neurotism. When she started talking I knew that she must've done it for wrong reasons. To feel better, to feel the best, to achive something that others will admire you for. It's neurotic. There is no point in rushing through countries like this. Always ask yourself: If nobody knew about what I'm doing and I got no recognition for that, would I still do it? If no, then you are doing it for wrong reasons.
Same. Even her own channel is threatening people if they give her constructive criticism. She's scary :s Obviously the depression is still there in the form of anger, possibly borderline personality disorder.
Travel is an education, especially when you pay your way by working and not begging. I travelled for the fun of traveling, and I always worked from 7 to 70.
You've inspired me Cassie, I know the frequent feelings of melancholy you experience, no matter what you do somehow you can't help but feel empty and sad. Travelling I feel is my way out too and hopefully I can achieve what you have. Although I just want to teach English and travel abroad.
Congratulations Cassie! Very inspirational! Indeed, travelling is a great experience that can open your mind and help to break down prejudices. I am glad that this experience helped you to overcome the issues you were facing before
The point of travelling the world is to experience each place in its entirety. Your reason for exploration should not be a world record and it doesn't matter if you are male or female its about the experience you had and what it means to you. If you were so scared then why would you go if you felt that you were in danger. Truth is you're gonna be in danger anywhere you go no matter what gender.
Last final Quoting: We are given this magnificent minds, and these powerful bodies, and it doesn´t matter where you come from, your monetary status, your religion, your age, how others judge you, what your friends and family say you can or can´t do. It doesn´t even matter what your dreams are. None of that matters. What matters is your truth. You´re either here on this earth for one more hour, or you´re here for 100 more years, but the beauty is you´ll never know. The most effective way to do it, is to do it. Nothing else matters but the next step you take, and the respect and growth that you owe to yourself. So find that one thing that brings you just a little bit of excitement and devote yourself to it 150%.
I was disappointed to learn that someone can travel to 196 counties and have nothing to say other than I am a young girl who traveled on someone else's dime and all I could say was how scared I was doing it. I wish you had stories about how the locals of those "scary counties" would live their lives in those "scary" places. The girls who didn't have only 14 days to live there under someone else's dime. Had to go out to work, buy food , or go to school and come back to a house that doesn't have a "in case of bomb room" while transported by armed guards. There are a lot of ways to get on the Guinness World Records that isn't an accomplishment. You are on the same list as the guy who put the most straws in his mouth, or the fastest time a person can enter a suit case, or most spoons balanced on a face, and many other useless so called records. My fear is that you did all of that and you didn't learn anything and it is just such a wasted opportunity.
Let's say she took a flight between each country and then onward ground transport from the arrival airport to a destination within the country. The travel alone would take up about 195 days of the 547 days (18 months). So now we're down to 349 useful days to actually engage with a country and its people, nature and culture. But those 349 days get divided between 196 countries, giving her about 1.78 days on average per country. Not even enough time to get to know the layout of the arrival airport in each country. About 36% of her trip was spent in airports, planes and taxis - I guess she must think that these are the aspects of travel that are the most enlightening.
Twobirdsbreakingfree we don't know what she did and didn't experience or what she did and didn't see on any of those days, so how are we to determine that the time she spent wasn't at least somewhat valuable??? You're assuming- stop.
Twobirds is analyzing the numbers which is always interesting. I'm sure Cassie could give an amazing presentation about the airports and planes because her taxi story was great. 195 "travel days" is a testament to Cassies endurance. Also, she said enlightenment can happen anywhere. Perhaps even here in TH-cam comments!
the Dyer Warner's orange theory explains your respond to this honest, self-revealing testimony, please don't be harsh on others much less on yourself. too mathematical my friend
You're awesome, very inspiring story. I love to travel and wanted to all my life. Since 2011 I have now visited about 20 countries, and plan on visiting at least 100 in the future. Good luck, great speech.
Thanks for sharing your amazing feat and personal story. It is really impressive. I agree that traveling teaches us so much and we grow in unexpected ways. Happy travels to you wherever you go. (And try to block out the negative comments- it's always a reflection of them- never you. They are not happy people. Just keep being you!) Trek on, Love on! Eileen
I see so many comments in here asking who paid for her travel. Like guys guys guys, let's not just Click on a video and start typing without even listening to what is being said. In a couple of comments, Cassie herself had to explain about her work ethic and how she saved up. Like come on. Have some respect. She does need to gone on giving explanations for her achievements all the time to every single person ! Listen to her talk and she says it all there !
Don't get the negative comments. It was a project, a complex project, that she wanted to undertake. People do stuff like that. If you want to say someone is a dry speaker go to almost any conference and you'll get the range of good to challenging speakers. Otherwise, it falls into the category I call they were there and I wasn't. It would take more than 14 minutes or whatever to really cover it regardless of who went.
I personally have traveled the world solo as a female and it is EXTREMELY scary and takes a very strong willed person to do it. Maybe she didn't get "enough time" to stay in each country to experience it, but unless you have actually traveled to the other side of the world alone, personally, your opinions are irrelevant. The WHOLE entire trip is an adventure to include the flying, cabs, layovers ect. Its not just about the destination that makes it an experience, its the journey from start to finish where you meet amazing people to share stories with. I applaud her for breaking records and would like to see anyone who is negatively commenting on this to try to do something comparable. Also, when you are traveling alone, you will be pulled out of depression because reality sets in when you see how impoverished the entire world is in comparison to Americans!!! That reality alone can pull you out of depression and break your entitled mindset, which usually is the cause of depression. As for "not spending enough time in each country", each region of the world has its own different but similar vibes so you can get a good feel for the Middle East or South East Asia by hopping around to surrounding countries. Traveling the world alone as a female is very dangerous and it takes a lot of risk and spiritual strength! Also, being creative to get sponsors to help pay for you is a way of making and earning money. Most people don't have creative insight into accomplishing their goals which is way you will not be breaking world records. God bless Cassie! I have respect and empathy for her :)
If you have UAE passport you will get easy access to all over the world. I have indian passport but i am in UAE ,here all country people are working . Any way am very proud of you
Incredible you young lady. Hats off for your speech and your courage to travel around the world as a single women in your expedition. I like to travel too. I save some money for my traveling every year on my own in some parts of India. I want to travel abroad once on my own with my limitation. My limitation is, I have low vision, I'm kind of partially blind.
I have been able to travel to several countries for my age & that is all thanks to my PRIVILEGE of being Canadian and the sacrifice of my immigrant parents who gave up their careers back home so my sister and I could be where we stand now. I 100% acknowledgment this privilege. I think she also needs to acknowledge this BIG privilege of the passport she hold. Also we can go to 100 counties & so on, but my biggest gratitude is the connections & acts of service I have been able to do to make the world a better place. At the end of the day, even if we go to just one country, but make someone smile and change the life of someone, that’s more important and all worthwhile rather than going to 100+ countries.
_Just one brief experience can shape your whole life_
Yes, it can. Just ask Louisa Jespersen and Maren Ueland. Oh, wait. You can't.
i went for a 2 week vacation to toronto for pride at 19. I came out to my parents shortly after. Changed everything.
Truly a quote to live by.
I went to Copenhagen for just 2 days. I ended up hanging out with people from 2 continents, seeing the city, partying, karaoke. I NEVER saw it coming! I thought it‘d be a quick city trip!
It ended up being amazing!
I felt that
too bad 21 days wasn't enough to make her a decent human being.
I spent 6 months travelling in one country and still feel like there are so many places and things unexplored. For me I'd rather travel deep and take it slowly; I learn and experience more from travelling one country for a few months than visiting dozens of countries in one month. Just my own perspective, I don't really care how many countries I've been to - the number of countries doesn't define the growth I gain from travel. And I don't always agree a person who's travelled 100 countries is better travelled than a person who's only been to 10 countries.

Hey I think she has a point and you can consider it !
think before you sleep brought me here
FR. The majority of her personality is being a young American Blonde Woman
I didn't expect that history of your behind the idea for your travel journey but i'm impressed. Your an amazing women! Much love
you're*
You're*
I am a woman, travelled to 40 something countries, few of them solo. I visited few of them many times, because I love them, I dont go somewhere just to have next country on my list, instead I sometimes prefer to go to the same great place again. I dont even post photos on fb or anywhere else from most of my travels. I dont need recognition for that. When I hear somebody travelled like this, just to get world record and giving speeches about it, the first thing that comes to my mind is neurotism. When she started talking I knew that she must've done it for wrong reasons. To feel better, to feel the best, to achive something that others will admire you for. It's neurotic. There is no point in rushing through countries like this. Always ask yourself: If nobody knew about what I'm doing and I got no recognition for that, would I still do it? If no, then you are doing it for wrong reasons.
I love her voice and arms.
lol
I really enjoyed this speech until I started scrolling through the comments and read her replies to negative comments...
right? everyone is jealous apparently.
Same. Even her own channel is threatening people if they give her constructive criticism. She's scary :s Obviously the depression is still there in the form of anger, possibly borderline personality disorder.
That also changed my opinion of her. The “you’re jealous” on replay makes me think of the movie mean girls.
Because the reason she travelled to 196 countries is...drumroll please...ego.

She sounds so up herself.... this experience wasn't about exploring and experiencing the world.. it was about HER. Enjoy your guiness world record
Yup! Like she just wanted to get that stamp on her passport and didn't really explore each city.
THANK YOU, CASSIE!!! THANK YOU!!!
Travel is an education, especially when you pay your way by working and not begging. I travelled for the fun of traveling, and I always worked from 7 to 70.
You've inspired me Cassie, I know the frequent feelings of melancholy you experience, no matter what you do somehow you can't help but feel empty and sad. Travelling I feel is my way out too and hopefully I can achieve what you have. Although I just want to teach English and travel abroad.
Congratulations Cassie! Very inspirational! Indeed, travelling is a great experience that can open your mind and help to break down prejudices. I am glad that this experience helped you to overcome the issues you were facing before
she gives me motivation and beliefs for my target
After watching this i want to fly like her.
You are amazing! Keep going never give up no matter what! God is Beautiful!Life isFantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
The point of travelling the world is to experience each place in its entirety. Your reason for exploration should not be a world record and it doesn't matter if you are male or female its about the experience you had and what it means to you. If you were so scared then why would you go if you felt that you were in danger. Truth is you're gonna be in danger anywhere you go no matter what gender.
Last final Quoting:
We are given this magnificent minds, and these powerful bodies, and it doesn´t matter where you come from, your monetary status, your religion, your age, how others judge you, what your friends and family say you can or can´t do. It doesn´t even matter what your dreams are. None of that matters. What matters is your truth.
You´re either here on this earth for one more hour, or you´re here for 100 more years, but the beauty is you´ll never know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it. Nothing else matters but the next step you take, and the respect and growth that you owe to yourself. So find that one thing that brings you just a little bit of excitement and devote yourself to it 150%.
Write the book . . . first chance! Cool. Congratulations, courageous Lady Perseverance!
I was disappointed to learn that someone can travel to 196 counties and have nothing to say other than I am a young girl who traveled on someone else's dime and all I could say was how scared I was doing it. I wish you had stories about how the locals of those "scary counties" would live their lives in those "scary" places. The girls who didn't have only 14 days to live there under someone else's dime. Had to go out to work, buy food , or go to school and come back to a house that doesn't have a "in case of bomb room" while transported by armed guards. There are a lot of ways to get on the Guinness World Records that isn't an accomplishment. You are on the same list as the guy who put the most straws in his mouth, or the fastest time a person can enter a suit case, or most spoons balanced on a face, and many other useless so called records. My fear is that you did all of that and you didn't learn anything and it is just such a wasted opportunity.
well said
Well said, period.
Exactly.
Now she comes and comments that you are just jealous, how she has done with other similar comments. Unbelievable.
you're just mad that you dont have a record lol
I agree. this is not a Ted talk. this is just full of me my mine. this could have been a much better talk
Bravo girl. Well-done! So inspiring!
She is so brave
You got a clarity of life, god bless you
My plan to do the same trip after 3 years.. you are an inspiration for me
Thank you
My goodness there is a lot of hate in the comments. Chill out people.
Let's say she took a flight between each country and then onward ground transport from the arrival airport to a destination within the country. The travel alone would take up about 195 days of the 547 days (18 months). So now we're down to 349 useful days to actually engage with a country and its people, nature and culture. But those 349 days get divided between 196 countries, giving her about 1.78 days on average per country. Not even enough time to get to know the layout of the arrival airport in each country. About 36% of her trip was spent in airports, planes and taxis - I guess she must think that these are the aspects of travel that are the most enlightening.
Twobirdsbreakingfree we don't know what she did and didn't experience or what she did and didn't see on any of those days, so how are we to determine that the time she spent wasn't at least somewhat valuable??? You're assuming- stop.
Twobirds is analyzing the numbers which is always interesting. I'm sure Cassie could give an amazing presentation about the airports and planes because her taxi story was great. 195 "travel days" is a testament to Cassies endurance. Also, she said enlightenment can happen anywhere. Perhaps even here in TH-cam comments!
^this is hilarious
the Dyer Warner's orange theory explains your respond to this honest, self-revealing testimony, please don't be harsh on others much less on yourself. too mathematical my friend
Hi Javier, can you please explain the essence of what 'the Dyer Warner's orange theory' is, as I can't find any reference to it. Thank you
You're awesome, very inspiring story. I love to travel and wanted to all my life. Since 2011 I have now visited about 20 countries, and plan on visiting at least 100 in the future. Good luck, great speech.
Thanks for sharing your amazing feat and personal story. It is really impressive. I agree that traveling teaches us so much and we grow in unexpected ways. Happy travels to you wherever you go. (And try to block out the negative comments- it's always a reflection of them- never you. They are not happy people. Just keep being you!) Trek on, Love on! Eileen
I see so many comments in here asking who paid for her travel. Like guys guys guys, let's not just Click on a video and start typing without even listening to what is being said.
In a couple of comments, Cassie herself had to explain about her work ethic and how she saved up. Like come on. Have some respect.
She does need to gone on giving explanations for her achievements all the time to every single person !
Listen to her talk and she says it all there !
Very amazing and interesting experience to learn from;thanks Cassie and may God bless you more!
You are inspiring People. And that Matters !!!!!
Travel is wonderful. Readers are leaders.
Don't get the negative comments. It was a project, a complex project, that she wanted to undertake. People do stuff like that. If you want to say someone is a dry speaker go to almost any conference and you'll get the range of good to challenging speakers. Otherwise, it falls into the category I call they were there and I wasn't. It would take more than 14 minutes or whatever to really cover it regardless of who went.
The reasons: get on Guinness Book of WRs; do a TED talk; get publicity to launch an influencer career on social media.
Worthy speech, love your experience and hope to get through adventurous experiences like this one day.
Incredibly well prepared talk, fantastic, eye opening!
I cried, thank you.
You are amazing the way you are. Don't forget to smile even when you are sad because your smile is beautiful. :D
As a woman, thank you for doing that for all of us. God you're brave
Dear fellow global citizen. Thank you for sharing both your light and darkness 🙏🏼
I personally have traveled the world solo as a female and it is EXTREMELY scary and takes a very strong willed person to do it. Maybe she didn't get "enough time" to stay in each country to experience it, but unless you have actually traveled to the other side of the world alone, personally, your opinions are irrelevant. The WHOLE entire trip is an adventure to include the flying, cabs, layovers ect. Its not just about the destination that makes it an experience, its the journey from start to finish where you meet amazing people to share stories with. I applaud her for breaking records and would like to see anyone who is negatively commenting on this to try to do something comparable. Also, when you are traveling alone, you will be pulled out of depression because reality sets in when you see how impoverished the entire world is in comparison to Americans!!! That reality alone can pull you out of depression and break your entitled mindset, which usually is the cause of depression. As for "not spending enough time in each country", each region of the world has its own different but similar vibes so you can get a good feel for the Middle East or South East Asia by hopping around to surrounding countries. Traveling the world alone as a female is very dangerous and it takes a lot of risk and spiritual strength! Also, being creative to get sponsors to help pay for you is a way of making and earning money. Most people don't have creative insight into accomplishing their goals which is way you will not be breaking world records. God bless Cassie! I have respect and empathy for her :)
This is so inspiring love this , love from Saudi Arabia 💕
If you have UAE passport you will get easy access to all over the world. I have indian passport but i am in UAE ,here all country people are working .
Any way am very proud of you
Change is continuous.... great 👍
More impressed than I expected
Wow! Impressive achievement - with a twist! Glad I watched it until the end. Wow!
Thank you for your speech!
Incredible you young lady. Hats off for your speech and your courage to travel around the world as a single women in your expedition. I like to travel too. I save some money for my traveling every year on my own in some parts of India. I want to travel abroad once on my own with my limitation. My limitation is, I have low vision, I'm kind of partially blind.
Wow, you learned if you do something you feel good, maybe there is hope.
You are so awesome girl! Keep up the great work! Excellent public speaking by the way!!
I have been able to travel to several countries for my age & that is all thanks to my PRIVILEGE of being Canadian and the sacrifice of my immigrant parents who gave up their careers back home so my sister and I could be where we stand now. I 100% acknowledgment this privilege. I think she also needs to acknowledge this BIG privilege of the passport she hold. Also we can go to 100 counties & so on, but my biggest gratitude is the connections & acts of service I have been able to do to make the world a better place. At the end of the day, even if we go to just one country, but make someone smile and change the life of someone, that’s more important and all worthwhile rather than going to 100+ countries.
One has to go through that kind of effort to have a transformation in life...
