Traveling through Norway with Dana Smith

Shannon Gomes

In this episode, Shannon talks with fellow traveler and communications pro Dana Smith about her unforgettable summer trip to Norway. From discovering hidden speakeasies and world-class coffee in Oslo to cold plunges, vegan pizza, and red fisherman cabins in the Lofoten Islands, Dana shares tips, surprises, and all the places she can’t stop thinking about.

Expect: floating saunas, natural wine, reindeer (maybe heart), fjord views, and serious wanderlust.

Whether you’re planning your own Norway adventure or just daydreaming from the couch, this episode is packed with travel inspo, laughs, and a love letter to the long summer days up north.

🎶 Trip soundtrack? “Norwegian Wood” by The Beatles + road trip vibes from the Grateful Dead and Vampire Weekend.
