Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

After eight years of travel, I'm finally settling down in Wisconsin of all places. Still, adventure, hedonism, and debauchery are all guaranteed. I am curious to discover the little known locations of the world and have a particular passion for abandoned sites and urban decay. Follow me on my brutally honest travel blog: www.lookingforstu.com.
