Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I love history and adventure. I often explore abandoned buildings, caves, historical sites, or cemeteries. I love the quiet, out-of-the-way places that are different, don't have large crowds. I share my adventures with my friends, and am always looking for new places to explore.
