Nigerian travel content creator Alma Asinobi has announced plans to visit all seven continents in a bid to set a world record.
According to Asinobi, the journey will begin on March 15, 2025, in Australia and conclude in Nigeria. She is undertaking the challenge using her Nigerian passport to draw attention to the issue of passport privilege faced by African travelers.
In a viral video shared on her Instagram page, she explained the motivation behind her journey.
“I’m doing this with a Nigerian passport to shed more light on the issue of passport privilege. When I fully recover from having to apply for more than 10 visas for this trip—and being rejected for two of them a total of five times—I will go in-depth about why we simply cannot afford to accept and remain silent about the second-class treatment we are subjected to when it comes to travel and visa requirements for citizens with low-mobility passports,” she said.
Asinobi emphasized that her adventure is a way to challenge limitations imposed on African travelers and inspire others to explore the world despite visa restrictions.
The current Guinness World Record for the fastest time to visit all continents is held by Indian travelers Ali Irani and Sujoy Kumar Mitra, who completed the journey in three days, one hour, five minutes, and four seconds.
