Tell us about yourself

My name is Pelumi Nubi and I am a travel enthusiast on a mission to show that traveling can be easy, safe and most importantly doable, especially as a black solo female traveler. I migrated from Nigeria to the UK at the age of 10, which ignited my love and curiosity for travel. I have visited more than 70 countries and my goal is to visit every country in the world because I truly believe that we live on a fascinating planet that deserves to be explored.

How did you decide to solo travel?

I can’t pinpoint exactly when I decided that solo travel was something I was going to make a significant part of my life; it just kind of happened. I realized I could do it. I didn’t need permission. I could just go to a new place, move in new spaces and meet new people. I wanted to do it more without being constrained by other people waiting to be ready or finding the “perfect” time. I could just pick up my bag and go. I would describe solo travel as a massive exhalation. You explore on your own terms and choose what you want to do. It allows you to realize your full potential and helps you realize all the things you can achieve. You become confident and self-assured. Solo travel is the gift that keeps on giving. If you’ve been thinking about that solo trip you’ve been putting off forever, it’s a sign that you should go and don’t let your fears stop you.

That is such a powerful mindset to live by and also, what amazing advice! What has been your favorite solo travel moment so far?

I recently took a solo trip through 10 countries on the African continent for 3 months at the beginning of the year. I was able to explore the eastern and western regions of the continent. To see also : 4 locations were upgraded to CDC ‘high’ risk for immigration. I fell in love with almost every country I was able to visit.

However, I will say that one of the most memorable trips I’ve been on was my solo trip through Namibia. I rented a 4×4 and explored the land, driving over 4000 km. I can’t remember how many times I just said “wow!” It was exhilarating. The landscape is constantly changing from desolate deserts to lush green areas. Wild camping under the stars to see the second largest fish canyon in the world. Such a joyous experience and I can’t wait to do it again.

Could you share how you travel confidently and stay positive while solo traveling?

I believe our mind is our greatest asset and the things we tell ourselves and the things we affirm within ourselves are incredibly important. When talking to others, they always ask, “How do you travel so much?” I believe many people disqualify themselves before they allow themselves to experience new things and new adventures. I recently launched Comfy Trav, a brand that offers a set of travel harnesses to secure you during your travels. Read also : Axios Finish Line: The truth is good for health. This allows you to positively affirm that everything will be okay and that you are worth and worthy of the journey. We recently sold out, but we have two launches coming up soon and I’m so excited.

The feedback has been incredible with many people saying it has helped combat travel anxiety. When I travel to new places, I positively affirm this new situation, so I can deal with the situation not out of fear, but instead out of a sense of belonging. Phrases like “I’m wanted, I’m accepted, and I’m truly worthy of being in this new space” have had a huge impact on my travel experiences, especially when exploring alone. I am currently in Jamacia and hope to get to Mexico in a few days.

How do you find the balance between creating travel content and enjoying time offline for yourself?

Early on in my content creation journey, I definitely made the mistake of focusing too much on getting the perfect picture or video instead of enjoying the travel experience. I prioritized content creation because my mission is to show people new destinations and inspire them to visit those destinations. However, I didn’t want it to spoil my own travel experiences. To see also : Covid-19 reinfections may increase the likelihood of new health problems. I came up with some strategies to help. For example, when I try a dish or a new restaurant, I use the first few minutes to just capture the content, then spend the rest of the time there and really enjoy the experience. Alternatively, I just keep the camera running when I’m chatting with locals or during some specific activity, so I can capture content at the same time.

I mostly try not to post live for security reasons, but it also allows me to enjoy the moment and create more curated content later. To be honest, juggling the two all the time can be difficult, but implementing these strategies has definitely helped me achieve my goals. I also encourage creators to take time off, just like you would in a 9-5 job. You can also create these healthy habits just to step away from social media apps. Personally, I love “vacations” or “free posting” and by building up an amazing following (or tribe members as I call them) I’m sure they’ll be there when you come back.
