Madi Jackson

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2026

I’m a Pittsburgh-based travel content creator & writer who loves finding meaning in places people overlook. I focus on vegan food, Jewish travel, train journeys, hidden gems, and unique overnight stays. Through Instagram and TikTok reels, social stories, and written pieces, I show that travel doesn’t have to be perfect or well-known to be memorable. Even one good moment on a trip is more than you would have experienced if you stayed home. I received my Mas­ter of Fine Arts degree in Cre­ative Non­fic­tion Writ­ing with a concentration in Travel Writing from Chatham Uni­ver­si­ty, and a Bach­e­lor of Arts degree in Juda­ic Stud­ies and Eng­lish from Bing­ham­ton University.
