Joined Atlas Obscura in 2021

After I discovered travel and became addicted to life on the road. I knew that after school I wanted to create a life that incorporated travel, photography, music, and work. I'm now living the digital nomad dream doing content creation and contributions for various brands, websites, and social media accounts.
