Joined Atlas Obscura in 2021

As a little girl, I saw monsters in the dark shadows of my room. But instead of being afraid of them, I befriended them. Ever since then, the strange and peculiar have always interested me. I even make a podcast about it, Certainly Strange. I have always loved travelling, but have a strong dislike towards the usual 'tourist hotspots'. So, if you want to find me when taking a vacation, don't look for me on the beach, but instead in the back alleyways and morbid catacombs.
