Lagos for the First-Timer: Everything I Wish I Knew Before My First Trip to Nigeria

Planning your first trip to Lagos? 🇳🇬✈️

This is the guide I wish someone had handed me before I boarded my first international flight from St. Louis to Nigeria.

Lagos for the First-Timer was created from my real-life experience navigating Lagos as an American woman—from preparing for the journey and arriving at the airport to figuring out transportation, money, food, safety, culture and everyday life.

Inside you’ll learn about:

✈️ Preparing for your trip to Nigeria

🛂 Arrival, travel documents & navigating the airport

🏨 Where to stay in Lagos

🚗 Getting around the city

💰 Money, payments & budgeting

📱 Phones, internet & staying connected

🍲 Nigerian food, water & eating confidently

💗 Traveling to Lagos as a woman

🔐 Staying safe without being afraid

🇳🇬 Nigerian culture & everyday Lagos life

💕 Dating, relationships & social life

📍 Things to do and experience

🧳 Packing and first-timer checklists

✨ Plus my Lagos First-Timer Toolkit

I don’t want you arriving in Lagos feeling like you have to figure everything out from scratch. I want you to arrive prepared, confident and ready to experience Nigeria for yourself.

Same girl. New adventures. ❤️
