It’s a new week and a new destination for Pelumi Nubi, the London-based Nigerian travel content creator. After 6 days of solo driving through the Sahara Desert, Pelumi has arrived at the capital city of Mauritania, Nouakchott.
This is a huge milestone for the solo traveler as she shared her fears of passing through the ‘Land of No Return’ – A 5km journey from the Moroccan border to the Mauritanian border.
In an Instagram post, she writes, “Heart racing, adrenaline surging – I never thought I would be so terrified crossing no man’s land. A lawless place with no government.”
From Mauritania, Pelumi plans to continue her journey by driving through Senegal and several other West African countries before finally reaching her destination in Lagos.
The travel content creator has also shared that Mauritania is the 81st country she has visited.
Stay tuned as we take you through the rest of Pelumi Nubi’s journey to Lagos, Nigeria.
