Donkers

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

Stay at home mum of 2, keen foodie and camper. I love to explore new places, primarily in my amazing homeland, but also further afield - whenever I get the chance. I have travelled extensively in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. I am currently enjoying introducing my kids to the wonders of the world through travel, holidays, adventure and food!
