Kelly Harrison

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Saw you on CBS this morning on 1/1/17. I myself like to go on adventures - that others may not. I am a marathon runner around the world and during those adventures like to take my own side trips. Such as seeking out The Scream paintings in Oslo, Norway, the locations of where Olof Palme was killed in Stockholm, Sweden, the alley's of Melbourne, Australia and recently locations of O'Henry in NYC. 2017 is Quebec City and 2018 is Iceland. I am originally from Hot Springs, NC and live in Asheville, NC - both Atlas Obscura towns in North Carolina with their own unusual historical locations.
