The word ‘underrated’ is often overused when descriptive words are scarce. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you a little and use that word to describe this Middle Eastern jewel, Oman. If you have ever considered visiting Oman, I have written this Oman travel guide to convince you to make that trip, especially if your passport affords you that opportunity (more on that in a bit). About Oman Before I convince you and not confuse you with “top 10 reasons why you should make a visit to Oman”, let me give...

When my partner first brought up the idea of us going to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup, I was shocked. Why do you want to go to a place where thousands/millions of people are, we’re not a “we’re outchea outside” couple; we like our beds etc., etc. But then what he did was sow a seed, and before you knew it, we had started planning to go to Qatar for the World Cup. As you may know from Instagram or TikTok, I travelled to Qatar for the 2022 FIFA...

For the Nigerian traveller, 2020 seemed like a never-ending bleak year as the entire world battled the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, COVID-19. We tried to shake it off during lockdown with #DontRush and #BopDaddy challenges, virtual parties, banana bread baking, blog posts and even work, but nothing seemed to do the trick like travelling used to.  In March 2021, the Nigerian government received 3.94 million doses of the AstraZeneca Vaccine and began to administer in phases. If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I have...

Jara Beach Resort is a beautiful holiday/getaway spot right here in Lagos, Nigeria. Sometime in October, I started drawing up plans for my fiance's birthday in December. I knew I wanted to do something that he did not expect so he won’t see me coming 😃. [gallery size="full" columns="2" link="file" ids="1954,1955"] After making inquiries, I decided to plan a staycation at Jara for a few days. Because the rooms go so fast (they were 70% booked for December), I quickly locked in my dates and paid. It was so hard...

Travel is not cheap, don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise - Jadesola, 2020. Have you ever looked at my blog or travel photos and wished you could actually go on a trip, somewhere, someplace? That wish is called wanderlust and I have a couple of affordable Bourgie Travel group trips to help you fulfil those wishes in 2020. While I didn’t do a recap of my 2019 (I know I should have done it), I visited a number of new places and revisited places that are so dear...

I explored Northern Nigeria during the April Easter break and it still is one of the most memorable experiences I have had in 2019. Since it was a Bourgie Travel tour, I was the resident Travel director and handled everything related to logistics. I also had the best travel buddies - Frank, Asia and Favour (I left notes for y'all at the end of this blog post). L-R Favour (Slay Queen), Jadesola, Frank Ugo (Beyonce's number 1 stan) and Asia 1 of Lagos While this tour took place months ago, my...

. It all came down to this moment, 2019 Chale Wote Festival was the sole reason we travelled across West Africa and it was finally here! We timed the last few days of our journey to coincide with the last days of the 2019 Chale Wote festival and boy was that a good thing (here’s where you stan my tour planning skills). Before I go off on how interesting Chale Wote was/is, let me explain what it is: Chale Wote is an annual street art festival that takes place in...

We took on a daunting task when we decided to travel all the way from Lome, Togo to see some amazing destinations in Central Region, Ghana by road. In retrospect, we were supposed to leave Lome early, but some people (please refer to their names in previous blog posts) decided to go shopping on the same morning we were supposed to leave town. The worst part is, they bought the cutest pants so they could twin at Chale Wote and conveniently forgot to buy for me. Yes, I’m still...

I left Lagos on this road trip to Ouidah, Benin Republic, then Togo and Ghana with 3 of my friends, Nkoyo, Moyosore and Rachel. Our ultimate destination was the Chale Wote Street Art Festival in Accra, Ghana, but we decided to make an adventure out of it by stopping over and exploring 2 other West African countries. Over the course of the entire journey, we visited 3 countries, 4 major cities and spent 8 days and 7 nights. Preparing for the Trip To travel to most African countries, you need...
