Alma Asinobi Aims to Shatter World Record, Seeks To Inspire Global Respect For Nigerian Passports

Alma Asinobi, the explorer and travel influencer behind "Alma Chasing Continents," has revealed her groundbreaking journey to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe. But that's not all – she's also inviting Nigerians (and the world) to make history with her by signing a part of the travel memorabilia, the Nigerian flag.

Asinobi's audacious journey starts on March 15, 2025, departing from Antarctica and traversing North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. She aims to complete the journey in under 70 hours, surpassing the current team record of 73 hours. Doing so solo, while navigating the challenges often associated with a Nigerian passport, adds another layer of complexity and significance to her endeavour.

Her carefully planned route will be tracked live on her website, www.almachasingcontinents.com, allowing audiences worldwide to follow her progress in real time.

"This isn't just about my record attempt – it belongs to everyone who's ever been told their dreams were too ambitious or that their passport wasn't powerful enough," Asinobi declared. “It's about showing what's possible for young African women and anyone with a low-mobility passport. I'm determined to complete this journey in under 70 hours, proving that determination can overcome barriers in global travel. I don’t want my dreams or adventures to be determined by my skin colour or passport."

"Alma's record attempt represents a significant moment for diversity in global adventure travel," says Eneyi Obi, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Rise. "Her journey is inspiring countless travelers from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue their travel ambitions. The support she is receiving from organizations like Risevest is a testament to the power of community in making dreams a reality.

In addition to the circumnavigation record, Asinobi is rallying support to create a unique symbol of national pride. She is seeking over 2,000 signatures on a Nigerian flag, aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the most signatures on a piece of travel memorabilia.

Project Lead Blessing Abeng detailed how the team has transformed what seems impossible on paper into a viable itinerary: "When we first mapped out visiting seven continents in 70 hours with a Nigerian passport, we identified so many potential failure points. We've now built contingency plans for each one, from weather delays in Antarctica to connecting flight challenges as a result of visa restrictions."

The significance of timing the attempt during Women's Month was highlighted as intentional. "Representing Nigerian women on a global stage like this matters," Asinobi emphasised. "Every young girl should see that their dreams have no skin or geographic limitations – regardless of where their passport was issued. My dreams should not be defined by my skin or the color of my passport. My superpower lies in my God-given free will, and we will break this record with God on my side.

Alma is a daring Travel and Lifestyle Content Creator on a mission to redefine global exploration.

🌍 Alma’s journey reminds us that no dream is too big 🌈✨, and no barrier is too high 🚀⛰️ when you refuse to accept limitations. 💪🔥 #DreamBig #BreakBarriers #AlmaChasingContinents 🛫🌎🔥💃🌟🌠

Keep dreaming, keep soaring, and never let anything hold you back! 🚀💖🌏

These Guinness people are very wicked. Last year I prophesied non stop for 3 days yet they didn't give me any awards. I'm planning to call down fire on them.

Anyways I see Asinobi breaking the record, I see her meeting with Trump, I see her being offered US citizenship.

This I have seen.

Someone should advise her to Go and learn something like this.

Nigerian passport is getting strong soon!!! 💪

If she has a good ad revenue paying Ad network on her website, she'll cashout big if the world truly monitors her progress within the 4 days journey.

I like the project. Both Nigerians and the Nigerian leaders, when they behave well will bring respect to the green passport. If your leaders don't treat you with respect, others will not treat you with respect. The reason US is feared in the world is the action of their leaders to defend Americans even though they have their home problems.

Any little win under this administration is a big plus for Nigeria 🎊🎊🎉🎉

Good luck Asinobi
