Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

A World Traveler. Lives in the Desert Southwest and loves the outdoors, sculptures, art, gardens, geological formations, the oceans, and especially the national parks in the US as they are truly international treasures. I have travelled to many countries and visited all 50 states in the USA. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and take two to three sightseeing trips per year.
