Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

If travelling doesn't encourage you to be more creative and doesn't give you a new appreciation for beauty in life, you're doing it wrong. Fortunately, I always travel right. I might forget a toothbrush or lose a shoe, but it's always an adventure, a cultural education, and an inspiration.
