There are a hell of a lot of countries in the World
And those of us who’ve been to a few European countries and Thailand probably think hell, we’re pretty pioneering.

Away from wifi, social media and being totally alone tucked away in a remote location with this wild husky and the wild horses for my 27th birthday brought me to the happiest and most peaceful place I'd ever been to on this expedition.

But travelling the world at record speed doesn’t come cheap, she’s spent around $200,000 (£160,000) so Cassandra relies on the support of sponsors (we know, we know) and her Instagram to promote businesses in exchange for lodging.
