Alma Asinobi, a Nigerian lifestyle-travel content creator, has emerged as one of Africa’s most compelling voices in storytelling. Through vivid, immersive videos, she captures the essence of diverse cultures, offering viewers not just glimpses but profound connections to destinations worldwide. Her unique approach blends precision with narrative flair, transforming each journey into a visual and emotional exploration.
Alma’s journey began in 2019 while pursuing a postgraduate degree in architecture—a discipline that sharpened her eye for detail and deepened her appreciation for cultural landscapes. Despite hurdles, she turned her passion into reality, venturing to Japan’s serene temples, India’s bustling markets, Egypt’s ancient wonders, and beyond. These experiences crystallized her mission to challenge perceptions of travel accessibility.
On March 19, 2025, Alma will launch a groundbreaking Guinness World Record attempt to traverse all seven continents faster than the current 64-hour record held by Johnny Buckingham. Her journey begins in Antarctica. Her route, which is an incredible feat of planning, carefully links continents using flights that are perfectly timed and coordinated. This feat isn’t just about speed; it’s a symbolic strike against the limitations imposed by systemic travel inequities. For many with passports like Nigeria’s, the world feels walled and Alma is here to prove those walls can fall.
As the youngest Black solo traveler to undertake this challenge, Alma amplifies a critical message: mobility justice. Her Nigerian passport, ranked among the world’s least powerful, fuels her advocacy.
Through partnerships with Sony, Mastercard, and Spotify, she merges art with activism, using striking visuals and storytelling to spotlight visa barriers and inspire policy discourse. Kaijego, her travel agency, opens up adventure to all, providing personalized resources for underrepresented travelers.
Beyond records, Alma’s influence resonates culturally. A 2022 Pulse Influencer Award nominee and honoree on List NG’s 2024 Top 100 Influential Nigerians, she’s redefining what it means to be a global citizen. Featured in BellaNaija and The Guardian, her work bridges adventure and advocacy, proving that resilience and creativity can dismantle even the tallest barriers. Alma Asinobi isn’t just crossing continents—she’s reshaping horizons.
