GabrielleVi

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I grew up in Neskowin, OR, where my family has lived for several generations. But, because my parents were divorced and my mother worked in the tourism industry, I have had the privilege of living in many beautiful and amazing places, subsequently, I've never had to take a vacation until the last few years when I have lived a more stationary life. I've lived in eight different states and multiple cities within each of those states. I love to travel and plan on doing more. As a recent empty nester, I just started to take advantage of solo traveling, and I'm actually contemplating buying a trailer and living as a full time traveler. I have plans on visiting all the US National Parks, and many of the Atlas Obscura sites. Quite a few of which I have already visited.
