Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

A full-time traveller with a passion for off the beaten path destinations and unusual things to see and do in better-known places. I love street art, Soviet-era mosaics and bus stops, abandoned places and concrete, Asian food and gin! Areas I spend most of my travel time: Asia, the Far East, and the New East (Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Baltic states, and Central Asia).
