One of my craziest adventures - that I now call my "side quests" on social media - happened during my last few days in Oslo. I received a direct message from a shrimp company, Færder Sjømat, asking if I wanted to join them on a shrimp boat. And I replied, saying, "Hey, I would love to do this." The night before the shrimping trip, I slept below deck on the boat in a little bunk. And at 3:30 a.m., I woke up for my adventure.
I graduated from college in May. I didn't know where I wanted to go, what job I wanted, or where I wanted to live, so I figured I'd go see a bunch of places. That sparked the whole backpacking idea.
For each place I went to, I would post on my Instagram and TikTok, asking people for tips on where to go. Right off the bat, crowdsourcing my itinerary gave me so many new ideas. It also led to most of the coolest things that I did on my trip.
