Travel with a Pen exists to show travel enthusiasts (especially Nigerians) how rewarding it can be to travel both locally and internationally. On this blog, I share budget-friendly tips and breakdowns for travel within Nigeria, West Africa, Africa and the rest of the world. I hope that by reading the articles here, you’re inspired to travel more and differently too.

I have been following your blog early last year January, but I am low key reader, so this year I decided kick my travel plans, firstly I want to appreciate you for responding to me on Instagram with handle @_eddybaba I never expected the reply but boom I saw it. So this year my first trip is Togo, Rwanda & Ethiopia. Amarachi God bless you. I want to be fact of your travel term. My dream coming through
Thank you, Emmanuel. It’s great to connect with you. I also plan and hope to visit Rwanda this year. We’ll see how that goes. 🙂
I love your blog! I learned so much. Thank you for the information ❤️
Thank you! Glad you like it 🙂
So lovely reading your story, and you’ve been to quite a few places and done things which are still just distant future items on my bucket list. Local travel is very rewarding so I’m glad you write about your local adventures too. I think too many travel bloggers get caught up with only showcasing far distant lands when tourists are visiting and appreciating the country which is right under their noses. It’s nice learning more about Nigeria through you. Take care, and visit Jamaica soon if you can! 🙂
Thanks, Rochelle. I agree with more travellers and bloggers showcasing their home countries. I hope I can visit Jamaica soon. Definitely going to explore beyond the resorts 🙂
Hi Amarachi, you’re doing a good job, thanks for your write up, very interesting God bless.
Wonderful stuff.
I love your blog, would love to explore West Africa for a start. How do I begin?
Hi Vivian, Benin is a great start and introduction to WA. You can work your way up to Ghana and IVC. That would be an adventure!
What a nice blog I’d just discovered. I’m so impressed and inspired by this blog. Looking forth to my own adventure.
It’s great to have you here, Grace. Thanks for all your comments! I’m looking forward to hearing about adventures soon as well, starting with Ghana.
Hello Amarachi, really nice to know how much you have traveled as a Nigeria, and your detailed explanation of your experiences. Thumbs up
