I am currently visiting all 54 African countries without using a plane as part of a Guinness world record, and to raise money for the Nigerians Red cross.

Update : I've NOW VISITED 25 AFRICAN COUNTRIES WITHOUT FLYING

In each country I will explore the culture and Tourist areas, and write about them . I have visited the 36 states of Nigeria , the 16 regions of Ghana and over a dozen African countries in the past, even before I began this trip
I was a quiet traveler preferring to stay off social media . This trip changed all that, because of my affilation with the Red cross, I want to and need to show the beauty and culture of Africa. To know more about the trip you may simply Google my name "Ilerioluwa Babalobi" or check me out on social media @ileribabalobi across different platforms. I enjoy traveling for travelings sake though and learning about other cultures . More importantly , I also hope to make friends in the countries I visit

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make Friends and explore the culture of different countries. I want to share and learn from fellow travellers. I want to learn more about how the world works

Music, Movies, and Books

Luckily for me, my two parents were university dons so maybe that's why we always had a lot of books around. I read a lot of books growing up and I still do, I probably read over 400 books a year growing up and into my teens, before tapering off a bit when I got into the university. I love adventure, I don't mind facing danger , and I like to enjoy life lol. I'm traveling to experience what I read in the books. I love figuring the way the world works and talking to people to understand their thinking. I don't watch many movies- an average of one per year. I do watch some series sometimes on social media but not much. Music?- well over half of what I listen to is gospel music but also listen to some non gospel. CCTV by King promise is a big favorite

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited all the 36 states in Nigeria. Nigeria is a big country and I visited all the states there and spent time in each. I know I was asked for one but i have also visited all the 16 regions of Ghana. And visited about 14 African countries . I've also appeared on Who wants to be a millionaire many years ago where I won a million naira. At that time a million naira was somewhat more valuable than it is now lol. I'm currently visiting the 54 countries of Africa and I am nearly one third of the way there- when I'm done with that I could add it to the list of amazing things I've done. I have had the good fortune to have met up with amazing people from different backgrounds so that's also another amazing thing. It would be difficult to explain fully what that means here but I have a somewhat diverse set of friends in my opinion, some of whom I cherish very deeply

Teach, Learn, Share

How to sell things on the internet. Now I have extensive experience traveling Africa so I can talk to you about it and I have so many stories ( I'm writing a book as a matter of fact).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My acknowledge of west african geography and culture. I am also a quite good cook, if you need me to whip up a Nigerian meal for you , I'm able to do so. I've owned a restaurant in the past actually lol and I could be a good introduction to Nigerian cuisine for you
