La Tunisie en photos avec la femme la plus rapide à faire le tour du monde !

À la poursuite de son rêve d’enfance, Cassandra de Pecol est partie à l’âge de 27 ans pour faire le tour du monde.

Cette aventure s’inscrivait dans le cadre du projet Expédition 196 que Cassandra a lancée pour financer et organiser ce long voyage. 

Pendant 15 mois, Cassandra a visité les 193 nations du monde, en passant entre 2 et 5 jours par pays.

La jeune Américaine, originaire de Washington, espère donc intégrer le Guinness World Records en devenant la femme la plus rapide à faire le tour du monde.

Durant son aventure, Cassandra est passée par la Tunisie. Voici les photos qu’elle a postées sur Instagram pour mémoriser quelques instants de son séjour:

 

In Sidi Bou Said there's only one restaurant that is permitted to sell alcohol, which was actually refreshing to know. This little cafe was my favorite because it served fresh squeezed juices instead and as the morning wore on, it became a hustling place filled with locals, which I enjoyed. 😎🍌😎 • • • “The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” - Shirley MacLaine • • • #Expedition196 #PeaceThroughTourism #EveryCountryInTheWorld #Tunisia #Rejuvenated

Who knew the #jungle existed in Tunis? 🤔 • • • "There is a secret set within each of our hearts. It often goes unnoticed, we rarely can put words to it, and yet it guides us throughout the days of our lives. This secret remains hidden for the most part in our deepest selves. For if we could recover this desire, unearth it from beneath all other distractions, and embrace it as our deepest treasure, we would discover the secret of our existence." - John Eldredge • • • #Expedition196 #PeaceThroughTourism #EveryCountryInTheWorld #Tunisia #Tunis

Being a traveler who likes to venture into countries with no preconceptions and an open mind, I'll admit that I was a little nervous about going to a place that's experienced as much turmoil as France and Lebanon in the past several months, just based off of the news. I knew nothing about Tunisia, other than it being a country in North Africa, and I wanted to keep it that way, hoping that I'd learn more about its beauty and history from the local people and a pair of open eyes. I chose to go two days without internet in order to fully immerse myself in the way of life here. I boarded a 14 hour ferry with Italians and Tunisians who either spoke Italian, French or Arabic. Upon disembarking, I was alone in the streets of #Tunis, not knowing the language and on a whole new continent. But I had confidence in myself and trust in the goodness of the people. • • • Tunisia has made it to my top 5 favorite countries I've ever been to. It blew me away with its beauty, allure, kind-hearted and helpful people and safety factor being a woman traveling alone. I felt 100% comfortable here. Tourism is really hurting here after the recent ISIS attacks, but despite this, people need not be afraid of traveling to these countries based off what they hear on the news. Fear is something I'm leaving at the door from here on out. • • • #Expedition196 #PeaceThroughTourism #EveryCountryInTheWorld #Tunisia
