Joined Atlas Obscura in 2012

I'm a travel junkie with a penchant for the mystical and bizarre. I'm curious, daring and love to learn about everything. I grew up in a very international household and have been very fortunate to have been able to travel extensively. I have not made it to the Far East and Antarctica beckons but one day, I will be able to say, "I have seen it all...or at least, a lot of it!"
