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.

“I was lucky enough to be hosted by Nigerian recording artist WizKid on my trip. The nightlife scene in Lagos is so fun! The clubs don’t start popping until about 2 AM, and your night probably won’t end until about 8 in the morning. Club hopping is a big thing! You very rarely stay in one club all night. The main spots were DNA, Escape, Club 57, Vellvett Lounge, and an after-hours spot called Quilox (open till 7 AM)!”
