The record to beat is 2 days and 16 hours, set by Johnny Cruz Buckingham in February 2025. Alma, who has already explored over 30 countries across five continents, is now taking on her biggest challenge yet.
She began her journey on March 15, aiming to complete the trip in 60 hours. With six continents down and one more to go, it has been a whirlwind of flights, delays, and passport struggles, but she is still pushing through.
Here’s a look at her journey so far:
Continent 1 – Antarctica
The clock started the moment she took off from King George Island, the only part of Antarctica not covered in snow.
Continent 2 – South America
She landed in Chile at 23:10 GMT, proudly repping Nigeria with her flag at a monument.
Continent 3 – North America
Touched down in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Continent 4 – Europe
She made it to Spain, but delays in North America caused her to miss her next flight “Intercontinental wahala,” she called it.
Continent 5 – Africa
Her original plan was to land in another African country, but passport check-in issues forced a change of plans. She rerouted to Cairo, Egypt instead.
Continent 6 – Asia
Faced more travel hurdles in Dubai. She was pulled aside and missed her flight to Perth, so she rerouted to Sydney instead.
With just one more continent to go, Alma is racing against time to make history.
Go Alma! You’re doing it.
