I traveled from Melbourne, to Dallas, to New York City, and then onto Facebook’s headquarters in San Francisco. I set out to create an abundance of content along the way to add to the Zucker Up! buzz, and I had a wild adventure!
Here’s what I had in mind for my Zucker Up! quest before I left Australia:
I wanted to stand out so I created a world-first giant LIKE costume.
First stop: The Dallas Digital Summit. I was blown away by the amazing support I received from some extraordinary people, including Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak, Zuckerberg Media CEO (and Mark’s sister) Randi Zuckerberg and the voice of Apple’s Siri, Susan Bennett. You can see all of their support videos below.

Next stop: New York City! I headed to Times Square dressed as a giant LIKE to chat with tourists to ask if they thought Mark would want to meet me. They weren’t convinced.
I headed to Grand Central Station with my best brave face as I offered free Hershey’s Kisses in exchange for Facebook LIKES. Um, it didn’t go too well. See for yourself below.
I danced with the Salvos at Times Square.
I visited all of the big social media offices in NYC to say hi; Facebook, Mashable, BuzzFeed etc. Not surprisingly, nobody came down to greet me… Here I am outside Facebook’s NYC office. Just a little excited!
What else? I did some stand up at NYC clubs dressed in my Zucker Up! shirt. Of course I spoke about my quest and my Zuckerberg goals. At The Stand…
When I finally arrived at Facebook’s HQ, I didn’t meet Mark – I was told he was away on holidays. But I had a blast nonetheless and loved every minute of my adventure!
I couldn’t have traveled on this global quest without the huge support from… YOU. Thanks to all of my friends and followers across social media who helped make this once-in-a-lifetime adventure completely unforgettable. I’m super grateful for your support!
