In another post shared on February 4, three days after she set off from Paris, the content creator arrived in Barcelona, Spain, marking the second stop on her ambitious journey. She spent some days exploring the country and reached 100k followers on Instagram.
After six adventurous days in Spain, she announced her arrival in Morocco — the third country on her itinerary — on February 10.

She announced her arrival
On March 3, about a month after the journey kicked off, Pelumi arrived in Senegal.
She spent a few days exploring some tourist attractions, visiting the tallest statue in Africa, located in Senegal’s capital city, Dakar, and Goree Island, a former transatlantic slave trade hub.
She announced her exit on March 7 and made it to her next stop, Gambia, on March 8. She spent 24 hours in Guinea Bissau before she made it to Guinea, the ninth country on her list, on March 14.
On March 17, she headed to Sierra Leone, where her entry was delayed over her “right-hand drive” car, which had been banned in the country in 2013. However, a kind border officer stepped in and secured her entry.
Still in Sierra Leone as of the date of publishing this report, her next stop is Liberia, after which she has five more countries before arriving in Lagos, Nigeria.
The road trip, estimated to last two months, is on track as she’ll likely complete it in the last week of March 2024.
