Nigerian travel content creator Alma Asinobi has celebrated her historic journey across all seven continents, declaring the Nigerian flag as the first and fastest to travel the world in her attempt to break the Guinness World Record.

After 71 hours, 26 minutes, and 25 seconds of relentless travel, Asinobi landed in Sydney on Sunday, marking the completion of her Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest time to visit all seven continents.

Her journey took her across Antarctica, South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia—her final stop.

Celebrating her achievement on Instagram on Tuesday, she wrote, “Our Nigerian flag is officially the first and fastest flag to visit all 7 continents! I guess my work here is done. I cannot wait to be homeeeee.”

Her journey was not without challenges, as she faced visa issues, flight delays and multiple travel restrictions due to her Nigerian passport. 

At one point, she was denied boarding on a flight to Perth, Australia, forcing her to rebook a later flight to Sydney, which delayed her arrival. 

Reflecting on the exhaustion from her travels, she joked about finally getting rest: “Gosh… Continent 8 (Dreamland) was kind to me. No visas needed, no flight needed, just a bed. To be honest, any bed would have been fine. I just needed my swollen feet to not move for a few hours and all I can say is… mission accomplished.”

While Asinobi did not break the existing Guinness World Record of 64 hours set by American veteran Johnny Cruz Buckingham, her feat remains historic.

Her journey has also sparked discussions on passport inequality and the barriers restricting global mobility for Nigerians. 

She now looks forward to her homecoming event on March 30, where she hopes to set another record by gathering Nigerians to sign the flag she carried across the world.
