Tim Martini - Exploring The Obscure

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

We travel the globe and find the weirdest, strangest, craziest, most unique and interesting places this world has to offer. A lot of what we travel to and film are things we find right here on Atlas Obscura. Not all though. You can find my show Exploring The Obscure on Facebook and Youtube. We are based in both Toronto, Canada and Washington, DC and have traveled to 25 countries in the last year alone discovering the oddities of the world. Find and follow us on FB & Youtube and enjoy our journey with us. I am also one who posts on Atlas' Instagram. Find me on my own as well, @TimmyMartini
