Her words:

"My travel journey started when I was posted to Akwa Ibom for my service year. Prior to that, I had never travelled outside the southwest. I lived and grew up in Ibadan, Oyo state.
"When I got my call-up letter to Akwa Ibom, I was super excited. I would say that was the turning point for me. It was thrilling to experience a new culture, a new way of life, a new environment. It did something to me. It opened my mind and changed my perspective.
"During my service year, I travelled to other neighbouring states as well; Enugu, Anambra, Cross-River and gradually, I found myself always super excited whenever I was about to take on another travelling adventure.
