I am your host Ric Gazarian.\xa0 This is another special episode from counting countries.\xa0 Expect to hear a traditional deep dive episode next week. But this episode is timely.\xa0 It coincides with the publication of a Washington post article on April 15 in regard to Cassie De Pecol.\xa0 She is well known in the extreme travel community for claiming to be the first woman to travel to every country in the world.\xa0 Unfortunately, that claim is untrue, and now Cassie De Pecol is being sued by Travelers United, an advocacy group that works on behalf of consumers.\xa0 The 100 plus page document lays out in great detail the numerous times De Pecol makes these false claims amongst many other questionable actions. I speak with Lauren Wolfe, an attorney at Travelers United, who is an avid traveler herself.\xa0 We overview the legal complaint made against De Pecol in detail. I was in Bangkok for the recording, Doha airport to edit, and Lauren joined me from Washington DC.\xa0 Please listen in and enjoy.
