Jamijo

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

Travel is my passion. I'm a British guy in my mid twenties who's been to over 40 countries but my dream is to visit every country in the world. I particularly love obscure and unusual places that are off the beaten track, no matter how local or far-flung. I'm originally from North Yorkshire but after studying tourism in Surrey I'm now fortunate enough to work in travel, based in and around London.
