Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Lawyer by profession, wandered at heart. I love to travel, eat good food then try to recreate those tastes at home, read a good detective novel, or just lie in a bed, doing nothing. I live in Moscow and I am very proud to say I've travelled Russia and former USSR countries extensively.
