Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

Having always been drawn to the quirky and outright bizarre, I hope to contribute places which add a healthy dose of strangeness to our lives. Also, I have a prime interest in the obscure or underground depths of fashion, music, and film from different cultures. Surprises come at me!
