Chaucy Dixon

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2025

Senior Sales Marketing Manager by day, outdoor adventurer always. With Oregon as my beautiful backyard, I’m fueled by fresh air, yoga, and forest hikes with my Great Lab (a lovable Lab/Great Pyrenees mix). Weekends are for pitching tents under starry skies, savoring oysters, and uncovering hidden gems—from tucked-away Portland haunts to trails in the Columbia Gorge. Favorite place in the Atlas (so far): Thor's Well in Yachats, OR (https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thor-s-well).
