Jenny Elliott

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2021

Hi, I'm Jenny. I write about travel, food, and culture. A decade spent living in Lusaka, Hong Kong, Prague and, most recently, Colombo has taught me a lot about adaptability. I'm also a dab hand at packing a suitcase. (In case you're wondering: roll don't fold). I'm now back living in the north of England.
