What are some of your best flight book travel hacks? Share them with me in the comments! 💬

This is one of the greatest travel hacks for all my 9-5 people who love to explore! 🪐 This year, while working full time, I travelled to a new place each month, visiting local, regional and international destinations - including a 25-day trip to Japan! 🤯 How did I do it? I stacked my PTO, weekends and public holidays to maximise my vacation days! And now, I'm giving you my blueprint and travel planning strategy 💙 These are some suggestions but feel FREE to mix and match according to your preference! Happy Travels! 🪐 #travelhacks #vacationplanner #ptohacks #workandtravel

OGs will remember that I started my travel blogging journey by taking a 3-day road trip across 3 countries in 2018 for less than $40! Those were the good days!🥹 I don't think that's possible anymore but if you're looking to make 2026 your year of travel, despite your budget, I've got tips for you! Maybe you're a new traveller looking to explore more or build a robust travel history, here are some places to start! 🌸 I always recommend starting with what you have, from where you are. If you're travelling from Lagos, for example - the starting point of the places listed here - you can try exploring your neighbourhood first, before venturing to other states and neighbouring countries. ➕️ A trip combination in the region is worth it. For example, you can do a road trip from Nigeria to Ghana or even IVC, stopping in Benin and Togo along the way! 🐚 Make use of layovers: for example, you can book a trip to Rwanda via Kenya Airways and stay a night or two in Nairobi. These two countries are visa free for Nigerians, so they're perfect. I do recommend spending more time in both places though but if you're on a time or money budget, this is an option. ⏰️ Timing matters. Research and book tickets off peak seasons to get the best deals available! On this page and on my blog, I share relevant travel information to help you plan your trip, regardless of your budget! So stick around to learn more!

Share this with your spouses and partners, and follow me for more marital advice! Studies have shown 👩🏽‍🎓 that soft life is a mandatory requirement for wives everywhere. Marrying a professionally relaxed wife brings blessings, not just one blessing, but many blessings to your home 🙇🏾‍♀️ And the church said what? 🔊

March and April are peak months in Japan but it is still possible to experience the beauty of the country without feeling overwhelmed. Here's how: ⏰️: If you want to stick the main tourist loop, try going in early March. The weather is still a bit cooler but it's beginning to warm up and many places will be less crowded compared to when cherry blossoms begin to bloom. You might also catch some early blossoms too 🌸 🐦: Become an early bird or a night owl. Many places are considerably less crowded in the mornings and at night. 🐚: Travel slow. Skip the day trip if you can and stay overnight. It gives you the chance to experience places relatively quieter before day trippers arrive and long after they've left. 🚧 Go off the beaten path: where you don't need to get up at 4am. The streets are quiet all day long! 🥾: Go hiking or cycling: for less crowded spaces and beautiful nature. As you plan your 2026 adventures, be mindful. be respectful. be responsible. Happy Travels!

In an age where the predominant message is to quit your job to travel the world, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to! It's okay to work a job you love and travel when you can It's okay if travel is only just a hobby It's okay to find a balance that works for YOU It's okay to post about that one trip all year long - I do it and will continue to do it! Do you and enjoy your life the way you have designed it!💙

And I couldn't get enough of this gorgeous mountain! I saved a visit to the Fuji Five Lakes area for my second trip to Japan - and spent 3 nights in the area. Mount Fuji was clear and visible throughout our stay! Morning, afternoon and evening! It was phenomenal! I read that Fuji-san is only visible about 80 days of the year. I guess we were lucky to have this majestic view for 4 consecutive days!
