Hi 👋, I’m Nma (pronounced In-ma). With so many new connections recently, I thought it’s time to introduce myself.

I’m from Nigeria (a West African country), and I moved to The Netherlands two years ago for my dream IT job. My first year in Amsterdam was a whirlwind of emotions and homesickness. Now, I’ve settled in and made it home, (of course, I still miss Nigeria 🙈)

When I’m not coding, I’m traveling. I love sharing my travel experiences, tips, and guides to help you plan your adventures. I recently visited my 20th country… Hello Luxembourg 🥰… and it still feels surreal to have traveled this much. I mean, I’ve always loved traveling, but only started seriously after being inspired by other travelers. And this is why I share my journeys—I want to inspire you to see the world too.

Fun facts: My favorite country so far is Vietnam, and my least favorite is France (falling ill in Paris didn’t help 😅). There’s still so much I want to see, especially in South America and Asia. This year, I’m aiming for a trip every month, and it’s going well so far.

That’s me! Now, it’s your turn.
Old and new followers, tell me about yourselves and how you found me 🫶 taken in Halong Bay Cruises, Vietnam by @nmaokafor_

Got a shirt in place of a magnet this time around and I love it 😍😍🚕

It’s so much cooler than the other New York shirt souvenirs I see in tourist shops too, so yea this is one thing I’ll definitely recommend.

A different side of New York, one where you’re not running from one tourist attraction to the next, without actually enjoying the city.

My sister and I had a slow day in NYC, although somehow, our “let’s not do too much” plan still turned into coffee, perfume-making, shopping, pastries, custom T-shirts and a lot of food.

Here’s everywhere we stopped at:
• Union Square Greenmarket
• Ariston Flowers & Café
• Olfactory NYC
• Boutiques along Bleecker Street
• La Cabra in SoHo
• Uniqlo SoHo for custom T-shirts
• Duomo 51 for dinner

Honestly, this is now my favourite way to do New York. Pick a few places you actually want to visit, leave some room to wander, and don’t stress when a “quick” coffee stop turns into two hours.

Save this for the next time you want to do a day in New York without doing the absolute most.

Just a girl channelling her inner Carrie Bradshaw in New York.
I saw this crosswalk and couldn’t resist a little street walk and wave 😄🙈

It’s my second time in New York, but my first time visiting in fall, and it’s already off to a great start. My plan is to take this trip slowly and using it to recover from burnout, so I’m skipping the usual tourist checklist.

If I were your best friend visiting New York, where would you take me?

Heading to the US means two things: seeing my siblings and packing a LOT of snacks 🙈😅

I always save space in my suitcase for Dutch and British sweets that you can’t find easily in the US because apparently snacks are my love language 🤎

Join me for the next week in New York. It’ll be a mix of family time, city time, trying out new things, and definitely plenty food.

My first time getting a room upgrade, and they gave us the best room in the hotel 🥹

It came with two bedrooms and views of the grounds, the Mosel River, and the surrounding vineyards. I definitely didn’t need an excuse to spend far too much time in the room 🙈

I still can’t stop thinking about how relaxing this castle hotel felt. And to whoever approved that upgrade: thank you ❤️

This is what a cosy hotel morning in South Korea looked like for me 🥰

I stayed at this hotel in Suncheon and loved every moment of it, the room made it very easy to slow down. I actually skipped a temple tour to enjoy my last morning here, made tea, and took my time before heading to the brewery next door.

Definitely could get used to mornings like this.

📍Hohe Stay, Suncheon.

Castle hotel in Germany for a fall trip ⬇️

This Autograph Collection hotel is in the Mosel Valley, surrounded by vineyards and little wine towns. We got a complimentary upgrade to a large suite , and I genuinely couldn’t believe the “room”. It had two large bedrooms, and views I’m still thinking about 🏰

Add Schloss Lieser to your list 💫

It’s in Lieser, Germany , around 35 minutes from Frankfurt-Hanh Airport and 1 hour from Luxembourg Airport, so It’s an easy stop for a Germany 🇩🇪 or Luxembourg 🇱🇺 road trip itinerary.

And honestly, don’t just come for the hotel, do the boat cruise in the Mosel River, drive through the wine villages and visit a vineyard or two.

📌 Save this for your Germany fall itinerary and send it to the friend you’d bring with you.

Dropping a little fall inspiration for you before we head into the weekend ✨sprinkle sprinkle✨

I’ve been seeing a lot of airline deals in the past week, so I checked flights out of Amsterdam Airport and Brussels, and right now some tickets are even as low as €57. If there was a time plan a last minute trip, it’s now 💕💕

As for me, I’ll be heading to New York soon 😁, and don’t say I’m always traveling cause I haven’t traveled traveled in a bit 🙈🤣.

They say that a moving woman will always meet her luck, so make sure you’re on the move this fall.

Save this and send this to your travel buddy for your Fall Inspiration 🫶

Still can’t get over the cafe culture in South Korea

I love how well themed most of them are, like this cafe in Busan, all their drinks are so colorful 😍, and they have a proper indoor space at the other side of the building, so it’s nice if you don’t want to only pop in.

📍Blue House on The Stairs cafe

There wasn’t a long wait time when I arrived (only 3 orders before me), but a heads up that the order might take longer than expected, so plan your time accordingly.

Save this for when you go to Gamcheon Culture Village, and make sure you visit this cafe 🧋
