Nigerian Travel Creator Alma Asinobi Aims for World Record—7 Continents in 70 Hours!
Nigerian travel creator Alma Asinobi is about to take us on a wild ride across the globe. She’s set her sights on visiting all seven continents in just 70 hours, and trust me, it’s more than just a fun adventure. It’s a mission with a purpose!
Alma is kicking off this crazy journey on March 15, 2025, in Australia and will wrap it up right where her heart is, Nigeria. But here’s the real kicker: she’s doing it all with a Nigerian passport! She’s taking on this challenge to highlight a major issue: passport privilege and the struggles that come with traveling on a low-mobility passport.
In a viral video on her Instagram, Alma got real about the frustrating reality of visa applications. Imagine applying for more than 10 visas for one trip and getting rejected five times for two of them! That’s the kind of stress most African travelers know too well. But instead of backing down, Alma is using this journey to raise awareness about how unfair and exhausting the global visa system can be for those with less powerful passports.
This isn’t just about breaking records. It’s about breaking barriers. Alma wants to show the world that,t despite the odds, Africans can explore the globe. She’s pushing one of the lowest-ranking passports to the limit to prove what’s possible. At the same time, she’s shining a spotlight on a system that makes travel harder than it needs to be for millions of people.
Right now, the Guinness World Record for the fastest time in visiting all continents belongs to two Indian travelers, Ali Irani and Sujoy Kumar Mitra. They did it in three days, one hour, five minutes, and four seconds. But if everything goes as planned, Alma might take that title!
For many Africans, traveling isn’t just about booking a flight and packing a bag; it’s a battle with visa applications, rejections, and endless waiting. Alma’s journey is more than a record attempt; it’s a wake-up call. She’s putting the spotlight on a topic that doesn’t get enough attention and inspiring people to dream bigger despite the challenges.
As Alma gears up for this epic journey, we’ll be cheering her on every step of the way. Will she smash the record? We sure hope so! One thing’s for sure: this adventure is going to be one for the books.
