Charlie Metcalfe

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2022

I'm a roving freelance journalist sometimes based in London, sometimes in Bath (England), and sometimes in rural Germany. As a child, foreign cultures had always fascinated me. I love my job because it licenses me to explore those cultures and ask lots of questions, often to very knowledgable people. I do, however, enjoy the comforts of home above all. Most of the time, that means a good cup of tea. Outside work I enjoy outdoor sports like bouldering, skiing, and running.
