DanLongWalker

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Parent of 5 amazing, delightfully human beings and 3 joyous entities with tails. Married to a medical miracle worker. Graduate student, lifelong native California surfer. Writer, painter, musician, avid reader, loves to cook food and feed it to roomfuls of happy people. Sailboats are my natural habitat. Tattoos, piercings, wild red hair (all cut off and combed in the pic above). French, Portuguese, Spanish languages with English as a distant fourth. Eternally curious about everything, because I know so very little, even after all this time alive. That’s enough of that. Let’s go find an adventure, shall we?
