 Pelumi Nubi, a well-known media figure, drove from

 London to Lagos has revealed the reasons behind her audacious journey.

In a recent interview, she told Punch Saturday Beat that she want to encourage other women to attempt new things and push themselves beyond their comfort zones.

Pelumi reported that she had a variety of difficulties while traveling. Remember that before to her ultimate arrival in, she had experienced an accident throughout her trip?

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.”

Speaking on her future plans, the travel enthusiast said traveling is something she enjoys doing and will continue to do.

“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,” she said.
