Nigerian content creator misses seven-continent Guinness record due to visa delays, aims for new feat
Nigerian travel content creator Alma Asinobi may not be breaking the current Guinness World Record for the fastest journey across all seven continents after visa issues delayed her from reaching Sydney, Australia within the required time.
In an Instagram update on Sunday, Asinobi, who is still en route to Sydney, confirmed that her total journey time will be 71 hours and 35 minutes, falling short of the current record of 64 hours, set in February 2025 by American veteran Johnny Cruz Buckingham.
Reflecting on her attempt, she noted that if she had been competing against the previous record of 73 hours, set by Indian travellers in 2022, she would have beaten it.
However, due to multiple setbacks, she had already spent 63 hours, 54 minutes, and 33 seconds travelling when she made the announcement, making it impossible to surpass Buckingham’s 64-hour record.
