Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

Big fan of islands and multi-day hike and bike adventures. Wine, cheese, and honey are the holy trinity, and I believe you haven't truly experienced a place until you've had their signature soup. Favorite world destinations: Sintra, Portugal Monterey, CA Santa Fe, NM Vinales, Cuba Lake Biwa, Japan Prefer small towns to larger cities. Closet steampunk enthusiast. Most of my role models are fictional.
