Nigerian travel content creator Alma Asinobi is set to make history with a daring Guinness World Record attempt—becoming the fastest person to travel across all seven continents.
The 26-year-old aims to complete the journey in under 70 hours, breaking the current 73-hour record.
Kicking off on March 15, 2025, in Antarctica, Asinobi’s route will span North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
More than just speed, her mission sheds light on travel restrictions faced by Nigerians and low-mobility passport holders, while inspiring young African women to defy global barriers.
In a second ambitious feat, she plans to set a new record for the most-signed travel memorabilia, organizing a global Nigerian flag-signing event on March 23, 2025, as a symbol of unity and resilience.
Her groundbreaking journey has earned support from fintech firm Risevest, whose Global Marketing Officer, Eneyi Obi, hailed her vision of redefining global mobility for Africans.
