I didnโt wake up one morning and find myself here. I started from somewhere. My first trip outside Nigeria was a road trip with my friends back in school and it cost me โฆ45,500. I didnโt travel again for a year and half. During this time, I took a 9-5 that wasnโt fully remoteโฆ.
This is the life I envision for myself but at this rate, I'll have to settle and it eats me. I won't lie. It eats me, worries me, gives me anxiety that rather than a remote work that'll let me travel yet work hard, I'd have to settle to work a 9-5, everyday, behind a desk.
