Allison H

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2022

Avid traveler on the search for natural wonders, haunted locales, sculpture parks, immersive art installations, abandoned tunnels and caves, one-of-a-kind bookshops, and antique shops/collections. I also might have a *slight* obsession with all things geology. The mineral and gem collection at The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History is my happy place. I am continually adding to my travel bucket list. Some current items on my list include attending Carnevale in Venice; visiting Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, NM; going to Argentina and Chile; seeing an active lava lake; visiting all the US national parks, and trying orienteering.
