Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

An urban explorer at heart, for the past few years I've been discovering the streets of Toronto. Now based in the county of Norfolk in the UK, you can usually find me wandering around the medieval streets of my home town. My top tip for cityscape exploration: always look up. The buildings above the pristine shopfronts reveal untold stories of the past.
