I was a little skeptical when I read about her purported travels, but not enough to raise a red flag. I had assumed that they have controlled for contamination, I guess not.
Travel back then was very difficult and even more dangerous. People who traveled usually did it in large groups, commonly called hoards.

I was in Norway years ago (1979) at a language camp. Went on a hike as a group and came across this old guy on the trail. The Norwegian language instructors had a hard time talking with him - couldn’t understand him.
He lived in the valley in some remote hut, and was hiking up the trail in worn-out sneakers with some plastic grocery bags and goods from the small town at the base of the valley. He smiled and laughed at us with our heavy boots and packs.
The instructors told us how he had probably never been outside this small valley, and some valleys have their own dialect.
