London To Lagos Traveller Shares Inspiration Behind Journey After Arriving In Nigeria
Pelumi Nubi, the blogger who embarked on a journey from London to Lagos, has shared the motivation behind her remarkable journey after successfully reaching her destination in Nigeria.
The content creator from Nigeria embarked on a road trip from London, United Kingdom to Lagos, Nigeria.
Nubi reached Lagos on Sunday, April 7, 2024. She explained that her reason for undertaking this daunting journey was to inspire other women to step out of their comfort zones and participate in challenging adventures.
Nubi disclosed that she faced multiple obstacles during her drive, yet she persevered and shared her experience on social media to motivate the upcoming generation.
She said; “I wanted to inspire more women to step out of their comfort zones and do things that were challenging for them. I wanted to explore the two places I consider home— London and Lagos; as well as tour West African countries, because not much is known about such places.
It was important for me to do this and inspire other travellers, that they can step out of their comfort zones too. “The most difficult border to cross was the longest one I stayed at, and that was Liberia. I stayed there for two nights. Other challenges I faced included navigating it all on my own as a woman.
“I did not have a team, so I had to wear multiple hats and do it all flawlessly. I had to constantly keep people updated on social media, which was also a very important part of the trip, so as to inspire the next generation.”
Asked about her plans, Nubi said; “I have always been a traveller, and I have been to over 80 countries. It is something I will definitely continue to do, especially as regards the educational service and policy changes in border control. We need to do better to make sure it is freer to travel around Africa.”
