Why I Embarked On Solo Trip – Pelumi Nubi
Travel and lifestyle content creator, Pelumi Nubi, who travelled from London to Lagos by road said her desire to explore the African continent which is also her place of birth inspired her to embark on the solo trip.
The solo traveller who has been to over 80 countries was featured on Channels Television’s breakfast show, The Morning Brief on Monday.
“I’ve been a traveller. I’ve travelled to so many places, explored so many cultures and each time I was travelling, it was mostly to like Europe, Asia but my own continent, I barely has any footprint there so I was like I wanna explore more of this place I was born into,” he said.
“I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and grew up in the UK, and each time I came home, I just flew for 6 hours … but then, there is this West African region I haven’t really met myself into, and I wanted to.
“So, I started Googling ‘overland travel’ and I just did not see people that looked like me, there was no explorers like just being showcased in the media and I was like this needs to be changed in terms of travel, why is that story not been told, why is the African nation in terms of tourism not been explored”.
She also talked about how audacious she is, the interesting events that took place as well as the challenges she encountered while journeying down to Lagos.
