Shawnee

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2022

I graduated from C.C.S.U in December of 2020 with a Geography B.A. and an Anthropology Minor. I've always loved history (learning, understanding, and when possible, experiencing). I also enjoy randomly adventuring to new places to accidentally discover and explore them (and the surrounding area).
