Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Travel is the best educator. As a child, my parents took me places in lieu of giving me gifts. I intentionally instilled this tradition in my children, as we spend most of our free time exploring the world around us. Tangible gifts do not last, but memories and knowledge learned through travel cannot be taken away. "The World is a book. Those who do not travel only read one page."
