JainaNZ

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

I'm a british-born Kiwi who studied Film, Ecology, and Creative Writing at university. In 2015 I fell off bicycles a lot and learned how to make people smile without a common language while touring around Europe for six months. Currently working in politics and saving up for my next trip. I'd like to see everywhere, or die trying.
