💨 Abstract

Oliver Widger, a 29-year-old Oregon man, sailed to Hawaii with his cat, Phoenix, after quitting his job and liquidating savings. Widger set sail in late April and documented his journey on social media, gaining over 1 million TikTok followers and 1.7 million Instagram followers. He was diagnosed with a syndrome four years ago that made him reevaluate his life, leading to this adventure. Widger was welcomed by cheering fans and Hawaii Gov.
