Read the full interview below:
- Tell us about yourself?
My name is Sylvester Osara, I’m from Edo State, Nigeria. I reside in Atlanta Georgia, United States with my lovely family. I founded Jollof Travels in 2015, a unique one stop travel platform.
- Share with us, what inspired the establishment of Jollof Travels
My love for travelling and adventures led to the birth of Jollof Travels. I am always excited when I remember that vacation time with my family is around the corner, because of the opportunity it gives us to explore different countries and discover new things during our trips. But I used to get exhausted each time I had to make travel arrangements and this got me worried because it re-occurred every time.
I tried searching for simpler and efficient ways to arrange all aspects of our vacation but couldn’t find any suitable solution. Subsequently, I realized that my family and I weren’t the only ones going through this, other people I know had the same complaints. I also noticed that each country usually has several tourist attractions where visitors can create memorable experiences which can then be documented and shared with others online. I founded Jollof Travels as an answer to these needs.
As a lover of technology, I am fully aware of how innovators have used technology to transform the world by creating unique ideas and ways of doing things, so I decided to make this same technology the basis of my solution, which I intend to use to eradicate travelling stress and bring Africa to the world.
After many deliberations with my team, we finally came up with an online platform, with special features developed to make travelling to Nigeria a relaxing experience, and visiting the United States from African countries extraordinarily easy. With our one stop platform and exceptional customer service, travellers can get almost all processes done from anywhere in the world.
