Joined Atlas Obscura in 2021

My husband and I love to travel and see all the crazy things that my fellow humans have created. I live in the South and there are a ton of terrific art environments that I have loved visiting -- like Pasaquan and Finster's Garden in Georgia. I'm always looking for oddities to see when I'm on the road and appreciate that there are others with similar interests. Atlas Obscura is a wonderful resource.
