Nigerian travel content creator Pelumi Nubi says she has arrived on the African continent, as her ambitious solo drive from London to Lagos continues.
Her itinerary covers 17 countries over a distance of more than 7,000km (4,340 miles) over a period of two months.
The 29-year-old has been sharing updates from her journey, saying in her latest message on Sunday:
“I won’t sugarcoat it – crossing into Morocco from Spain had me on edge initially,” she wrote.
She now plans to drive through the West Sahara desert, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and finally, Nigeria, reaching Lagos.
Ms. Nubi believes she is the first black woman to attempt this journey. She says her goal is not about breaking records but showing the world that “impossible” is just a word.
