Hailing from Nigeria, Jay has travelled over 33 countries, her passion to explore the world stems from getting different perspectives of life- “having contracted Polio from a young age and being a black woman has never been a barrier for me to see the world” she comments.
TES: Why do you like travelling?
JAY: It opens up my world to new adventures and possibilities. It also serves as a great reminder to be humble. I make up a very small part of this world.

JAY: Phone, passport, lip balm
TES: The best place you have travelled to?
JAY: Salvador da Bahia
TES: The worst place?
