”I was very lonely; I missed my family and friends. I was shaken when I had an accident, but I’m grateful it was just a temporary setback,” said Ms Nubi.
Ms Nubi said she embarked on the journey to connect the two places she calls home.
“I wanted to undertake something truly brave, something that symbolically connects the two places I consider home and where I’ve spent significant time,” she stated.
Pelumi’s father described her safe arrival in Nigeria as the “end of anxiety”.
He said, “I kept on telling people that what looks to you people as content creation is a nightmare for us. Every night we couldn’t sleep, so it’s been two months of fun for the whole world but not for us.”
On how she felt when her daughter informed her about the trip, Pelumi’s mother said that she approved of it because she had visited over 80 countries before and it was her choice to embark on the trip.
In 2022, Ms Nubi gained attention for exploring 77 countries before age 27. With her most recent journey, she has continued to expand her international experiences.
