Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬🎉 It feels soooo good to be back home! I haven't been back in 3 years and this visit was EXACTLY what I needed to kick-start 2026! 🎉 Detty December is fun and all but oh, how I love Lagos in January! The city is calmer, and there are still some leftovers from the festive period - without the hefty price tag, traffic and crowds! ✨️ This past month in Lagos has been fantastic! I got to reconnect physically with my family and friends, and revisit some of my favourite places 💕 I saw an amazing play 🎭 (The Bride) @terrakulture, stopped over at @nikeartgallery for my art and culture fix 🎨 and had a wholesome solo retreat at my all time favourite beach resort in Lagos, @jarabeachresortng 🌤 It's been a month of introspection, a few bitter-sweet moments, love, family, some work and food. Good food! Leaving Lagos with a full heart, a clearer mind, and deep gratitude for home. Until next time 💙

Lagos in December is nice but you know what's better? Lagos in January and February. A calmer vibe without the price tag, crowd or traffic! This is an underrated time to visit Lagos and certainly one of the best times to do so!

What @noahkahanmusic said! ✨️

If it's worth the day trip, it's worth the overnight stay! 🌤 And these are some places where the overnight stay was absolutely worth it! So, if you're considering visiting any of these places as a day trip, maybe consider staying longer instead. You'll most likely get to experience them in the best weather and sightseeing conditions if you do!

Thanks to @motherofpassports for bestowing this name upon me 🇰🇪💙

I left Nigeria in 2020 and returned every year for the next 3 years... it would be another 3 years before I made it back home again and so many things have changed, so many things have remained the same... I've enjoyed the familiarity, good Nigerian food, our welcoming spirit, seeing my family and friends once again 💙 It's felt soo good to be back... In 3 years, I've missed friends getting married, having kids, moving away, moving back... my parents getting older, my youngest sibling already grown up... It's a lot of mixed emotions and I fear it would be harder to leave again. One thing is for sure though, I won't wait another 3 years to come back home. #lagos #nigeria #home

How beautiful! 🥹🌸🍃 Japan in Sakura Season is absolutely stunning. I still can't believe we got to enjoy it without the overwhelming crowds. If you're heading there in a few months, DO consider going off the beaten path. It is so so worth it, I promise you! Here are alternative cities to consider for lighter crowds without missing out on the "Japan travel experience!" Tokyo >>> Nagoya, Matsumoto, Fukuoka Kyoto >>> Magome, Narai, Kanazawa, Kibune Osaka >>> Okayama Hakone, Fuji : Skip the day trip and stay overnight Comment "Sakura" and I'll share the link to my Japan Itinerary blog post to help you plan your trip easily!
