Sarah Brumble

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2009

When not sailing through shark-infested waters or walking overland into Nigeria, I can be found aiming my camera at unsuspecting passersby, geeking out about polar exploration/astrophysics/the US Civil War, giving your favorite band a chance, and cruising along on my beloved bicycle.
