Faith Roswell

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

Hi, I'm Faith. I'm a writer, adventurer and blogger living on a boat in England. When I'm not at home, I'm travelling the world visiting the strangest places I can find and sneaking around abandoned buildings. I love anything postapocalyptic, I'm a cage fighter for the Wasteland Warriors and cute animals are my kryptonite. Insta: @lifeoutthereblog
