Ariel Azoff

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I grew up in the small but famous town of Woodstock, NY, then got bit by the travel bug and spent about ten years continent hopping between North America (DC, Florida, NY), Central America (Nicaragua), and the Middle East (Cairo, Haifa). These days I live in Brooklyn, where I moonlight as an NYC tour guide.
