Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

Hi! My name is Tara, and I'm from Canada. To date, I've been to 18 countries (not counting the 2 I've transited through -- Panama and Germany, though I think I've spent enough time in the Frankfurt airport for it to count!): Canada, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, Iceland, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Greece, The Netherlands, Serbia, and Austria. As well, I've visited 35 UNESCO world Heritage sites (and two that've been on the tentative list for years) Last adventure: Vienna Next adventure: TBA
