You'll Definitely Want to Book a Trip to Nigeria After Reading This

Without fail, every year at this time we catch ourselves daydreaming of all the warm and beautiful places we wish we were traveling to—regardless of the fact that it’s essentially spring weather this week (wtf is going on!?), we’re spoiled and wishing for full-on summer temperatures. Until we get that (let’s be serious, it’s only early March—we’ve got a long way to go), the best we can do is live vicariously through our friends who are (lucky!) traveling anywhere and everywhere, or so it seems. Take our good friend Irene Agbontaen, founder of TTYA London. She recently traveled to her home away from home (as she calls it), Lagos, Nigeria, and was kind enough to share her photo diary with us. If you ask us, there is really no better way to get over your winter (or Wednesday) slump than by scrolling through Irene’s vacation pics.

“Ilashe Beach holds a small commune of private beach houses—you can rent these out with your friends and family and make a day of it! You get a speed boat from Victoria Island that takes about 30 minutes to get to the private island. From there you are met with quad bikes to take you to the beach house. The houses have a private pool, BBQ, fully stocked bar with staff, and quad bikes for extra activities.”
