Okay, I’ll admit it I have a soft spot for ridiculous souvenirs. Last year, after a work trip to a remote mining site in Australia, I came back with a jar of “authentic outback dirt.” Not sand, not rocks, just… dirt. My coworkers still laugh about it, but it’s weirdly become my favorite conversation starter.
Now I’m curious what’s the most chaotic or bizarre thing you’ve brought home from a trip? Bonus points if it made security raise an eyebrow or left your friends utterly confused. As someone who splits time between mining rigs and dance studios (yes, really), I’m all for stories that mix adventure with a little absurdity. Hit me with your best!
I once brought home a “haunted” coconut from Hawaii complete with a backstory from a street vendor. TSA held it up like it was a bomb, and my dog still barks at it. Worth it.
