26-year-old Nigerian travel content creator, Alma Asinobi, attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest journey across all seven continents in 60 hours has travelled across six continents and is closer to the end of the journey.

PUNCH reports that as the youngest and only Black solo record attempt in this category, she is determined to challenge and transform the narrative surrounding passport inequality.

Her attempt, dubbed #AlmaChasingContinents and #7in60 seeks to break the current record of 73 hours set by Sujoy Kumar Mitra and Dr Ali Irani using only her Nigerian passport.

In the course of her attempt, Asinobi has been vocal about the numerous visa and travel setbacks she encountered due to her Nigerian passport.

Unlike travellers from countries with better passport privileges, she noted that she has had to navigate complex visa requirements, expensive travel arrangements, and flight cancellations that threatened to derail her record attempt.

Following a delay from the initial scheduled date of March 15, her journey officially began on March 20 from King George Island, Antarctica, where Asinobi boarded a flight that kickstarted the countdown.
