Guest House

Savvy Traveller: In 2017, Cassie de Pecol became the first woman to travel to all the countries of the world. At the time, there had already been around 200 people to do it. Also, no one with only an African passport has been able to do it yet. It would be great to showcase the need to make access more equal and thus exposure.

Savvy Traveller: My travels will be impactful because I am able to connect 50 underprivileged students to scholarships and psychosocial support as well as supporting 10 interns to mentorship and coaching. Already, we are supporting six really amazing and talented interns and we have three volunteers on 197 Education and Incubator Foundation.<br> I believe education is the first form of travel. It’s hard to ask the youth to forge forward if they do not have access to education. Therefore, for the rest of my travels, I will be fundraising for 197 Education and Incubator Foundation on 197fund.org.

Savvy Traveller: Not carrying some bit of US Dollars. Oh God, you know they don’t accept Kenyan currency in exchange bureaux in very many countries? One time I had to wait for a colleague at the airport for 6 hours as I couldn’t pay for the taxi ride to where we were staying. My card couldn't work either and my phone was low on charge.

Savvy Traveller: That it is for the lucky few. It is not. It is for everyone. If you have enough interest, you’ll find a way.
