EP 19: Pelumi Nubi: On exploring the world fearlessly, traveling to 80 countries, and living successfully with dyslexia.

Happy New Year, FATHOM friends! In this conversation, I sit with a sister and friend of mine, Pelumi Nubi, who is a purpose-driven travel content creator and connector who thrives on exploring less commonly visited countries, currently living in Dubai. Calling both the UK and Nigeria home, while having ventured to 80 countries across 6 continents, her engaging content inspires her community to embrace life with fearlessness and embody true freedom. She is committed to showing that travel can be safe, easy, and achievable, particularly for Black women who want to travel solo. In this conversation, we speak about her goal of traveling to every country in the world and the experiences she has had from those she has been to so far. We discuss how she prioritizes her time and finances to be able to travel to the extent that she does. She shares her journey of quitting her PhD in cancer research to become a full-time entrepreneur and travel blogger. We discuss her diagnosis with dyslexia and her determination to not be limited by it. We discuss identity, life choices, and living life under your own terms. Pelumi will be embarking on another big expedition to drive from London to Lagos, Nigeria starting this January, a journey that will take her through 17 countries and take two months. She continues to explore uncharted territories- an inspiring feat for women and men everywhere. I hope you enjoy this one as I did recording it!
