Louise Story

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2025

As the CEO of Atlas Obscura, I lead the top travel community platform in the world, where we are helping people have the most incredible, mind-blowing experiences in their own backyards and around the world.

As a daily explorer myself, I look for unique experiences in the NY area most weekdays and weekends, and I travel as far and widely as I can on vacations. I am a rock climber, a mother, a marathon runner, and an avid reader. I love to see live music and theater, and to see all forms of art in process.
