So, let’s begin!
Q1. What inspired you to become a blogger?
I love art to a fault, but sadly, I couldn’t create any form of art. I tried drawing, singing and painting but failed. Writing was my last chance, so I figured blogging is what could make me better with arts.
Q2. For how long have you been blogging?
I’ve been blogging for over three years.
Q3. Why be a travel blogger?
I feel travel is one of the most underrated alternatives for wealth creation in Africa. Blogging about it is the little way I contribute my bit in ensuring wealth creation and circulation.
Q4. How would you describe your style of travel and your travel blogging content?
Original and undiluted from the perspective of a broke Nigerian.
Q5. Briefly describe what you use your different social channels for and what is your dominant channel for you personally.
Since different social media channels have been primarily built for different purposes, I use them as such. I am however focused on creating educative and interesting contents on all channels.
Q6. How do you balance your day job and blogging?
Time management. I try as much as I can to spend my evenings and weekends efficiently on my blog. My day job owns my weekdays.

I really can’t say.
