SOFIA

Just to remind us once again what Bace Adventures is all about – we know that Nigerians travel a lot. We are also aware that summer is looming near and that plans to travel are taking gear. Even with the recession we know that Nigerians will still travel for summer.

I love adventures. I love things outside the norm. I also love travel and love to experience different cultures of different countries so am bringing to you the different countries you could visit for summer.

WHY NOT Leave out UK, USA, SA, DUBAI AND PARIS from this year’s List and visit some other places as listed in this blog.

Bace Adventures just draws your attention to other places and countries where you CAN have fun and not just the REGULARS… be it in Europe, Africa, North/South America or even Asia.
