I am sorry Nigeria… I should have known better! 🙏🏼🇳🇬 Somehow I kept postponing traveling to Nigeria and I regret big time I didn’t visit you earlier! 😩 Even after traveling to 170 countries, I arrived with that little bit of hesitation in the back of my mind. Is Nigeria actually safe to travel? After traveling around Nigeria for 3 weeks, my personal experience has been completely different from the image that was imprinted in my mind by international media. Everywhere I go, people greet me with smiles, help me out and make me feel welcome. And with English spoken everywhere, I’ve actually found Nigeria one of the easiest countries to travel around in West Africa. But that doesn’t mean you should be ignorant to the problems in a country and be too naive. Wherever I travel, having mobile data is one of those things that makes me feel much more comfortable and safe. I can always check where I am, use Google Maps, stay connected and order an Uber when I need one. To stay connected everywhere I travel I use an Airalo global eSIM that works in 170 countries and is valid for 365 days, so I don’t have to think about getting connected every time I cross a border. If you want to try Airalo yourself, use my code TOMTOM3 for an extra $3 USD off your first eSIM. Nigeria, thanks for proving my expectations wrong. You sincerely stole my heart! 🫶🏼 ❤️🇳🇬 #nigeria #traveling
