Joined Atlas Obscura in 2023

Slowly (!) but surely I’m updating my personal past and current travel map here while adding new spots I’ve discovered along the way. Most of these places are in the four countries I’ve lived in so far, and I noticed that many of them weren’t listed here. I’m lucky and grateful to be exploring with my husband. Every year’s full of old and new places and it feels amazing sharing it with someone who doesn’t just make me follow, but walks beside me. ❤️
