Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Independent writer based in the heart of British Columbia wine country, Canada. Yes, that's an actual thing and no, it's not just about icewine. The area is also at the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert so we also have black widow spiders and cacti. I eat and drink my way through most places. Fuelled by curiosity and addicted to lip balm.
