Avid traveler, Pelumi Nubi on Tuesday began an attempt to drive from London to Lagos, a journey of more than 4,340 miles (7,000km).
She will travel from England to France and Spain, before entering Africa through Morocco.
“After that, it’s 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, a Nigerian travel content creator said of her travel route.
She is of the opinion that she is the first black female to attempt such journey.
“Hey, this isn’t about breaking records. It’s about showing the world that ‘impossible’ is just a word”, Ms Nubi revealed when she first announced the challenge last November.
According to her, the trip had taken one year of planning and saving.
She has already visited 80 countries and usually show her travel exploits on social media.
