Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I love to travel to obscure locations and check out unusual sites that are completely different than my life in Oregon. I have a wanderlust that cannot be diminished.

Soaring with tier after tier of fanciful architecture in a pyramidal form, a very mountain of airy and audacious beauty through the thousand pierced screens and gilded arches of which the Indian air blows cool over the flat roofs of the very highest house."
