A Lagos car crash almost killed him. A €900 visa saved his dream of seeing the world.
A near-death experience in Lagos pushed Adewale Adekomaiya to leave Nigeria and travel across seven European countries with his wife.
In March 2023, Adewale Adekomaiya found himself trapped in a mangled car in Lagos, Nigeria, while passersby filmed and one bystander attempted to rob him. This near-death experience changed his perception of travel, making him realize that it should not be postponed for "later." Shortly after, Adekomaiya, along with his wife, purchased a €900 ($1,048) digital nomad visa for Malta, embarking on a two-year journey working remotely across seven European countries.
Upon returning to Nigeria with their newborn son, Adekomaiya now aims to take his family on a new adventure across Africa.
