Oyin Ola: The Do’s and Don’ts when in Morocco!
So it was my 21st Birthday in June and those that know me know I like to do things differently each year. I’ve recently caught the travel bug and so it seemed ideal that I celebrate this milestone abroad. I knew I wanted to go somewhere in the Arab world that was affordable and so I decided on Morocco.

Amal Vasi: A Visit to Nike Art Gallery.
I'm currently in Lagos, Nigeria for my summer vacation. I'm no stranger here though, you see, I lived in Lagos up until I moved to England to continue my education and so 'The Nike Art Gallery' was a name I had heard one too many times but never got a chance to visit. As a lover of arts, I decided it was high time I payed this gem a visit and what a visit it was!
Lamide Akintobi: 6 Days of Bliss in Tanzania.
Tanzania was my favorite trip of 2015. In 6 days, I got to experience a different side of Africa, especially as I’d never been to East Africa before.

We got there on Friday morning and as soon as we got to our hotel we dropped our bags and set out even though we had no idea where we were going. It was really hard to read the maps as the roads were not tarred and the road to the market was basically like walking in a village. Anyway with the help of people on the road, we found our way to the square and inside the market even though they made us pay them at the end of the day.
ENEFAA: PARADISE IN NIGERIA, OBUDU MOUNTAIN RESORT.
I am not going to try and wax poetic on my experience at the Obudu Mountain Resort. This could end up becoming a long read and I would rather you just go to the resort and experience it for yourself.I had been looking for somewhere to take a road trip to in Nigeria and the Obudu Mountain Resort seemed like the perfect choice. After deciding on Obudu, deciding how to get there proved more problematic than I had originally envisaged when I made the choice
