Destination aficionado

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

An enthusiast for all things delightful and different. I am combining my 25+ years of travel to share strange and interesting places with my own photographs. Having had the privilege to photograph for many magazines I have been afforded the opportunities to visit MANY cool places! I am also a YELP elite reviewer. This is NOT an all inclusive list and I will add to it as time allows.
