If you've got chronic wanderlust, prepare to experience crippling envy.
Cassie De Pecol from Connecticut, U.S.A spent 18-something months ticking off nations at a rate of knots and has become the first documented person to step on all 196 countries on the planet.
From all the countries she visited, the travel enthusiast gave Telegraph Travel her list of top 10 places everyone must visit and guess what Pakistan was #5 on her list.
Cassie shared that one must visit Pakistan "to get a true sense of raw, authentic Asian culture and for the food!"
She had to wait four months to get her visa approved but said she was not disappointed. revealing that her time in Pakistan was one of the "many wonderfully educational and culturally enriching experiences" of her travels.
Other names that appear on the list are Oman, Mongolia, Peru among others. Read the entire list here
