3-month overland journey across West Africa (ECOWAS countries), starting June 2026

So far:

→ Spent 2 full years in Rwanda (deep dive into the culture and life there).
→ Quick 24-hour tour in Kenya.
→ and now I'm finishing up in Uganda on a 40-day visa (about a weeks left before flying home to Nigeria.. haven't been back home in a long time).

If you're from any of these spots or have traveled there, I'd love your thoughts, tips, or even connections along the way!
Cheers,
Benjamin :)

Movies/Shows I’ll Actually Debate You On

Designated Survivor; not because it’s the best political drama, but because I’m obsessed with the ‘what if?’ of ordinary people thrust into power. (Also low-key convinced I’d survive my first week as President of Nigeria. Ask me how.)
