Joined Atlas Obscura in 2020

I'm a British expat, currently living and working on the Pacific coast of Mexico. I work as a part-time artist and illustrator, whilst also owning and running a cultural and historical tour company with my brother, Flip Flop Nomads. We offer tours throughout the country and love taking people to new and different places that we find on our travels. I am also a trained archaeologist, with a specialism in Mesoamerican archaeology, and worked as an archaeological illustrator in England before relocating to Mexico!
