If her attempt is validated, she will hold the record for being fastest female to visit all sovereign countries and as the quickest person of any gender to make the trip

The intrepid American embarked on her journey in July 2015 just after her 25th birthday and 255 flights later, completed her mission.

She budgeted a whopping $198,000 (£170,000) for the trip – most of which was given by sponsors.
