Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Like mountaineering, travelling and playing basketball. I've been sharing my mountaineering experiences extensively on SummitPost (http://www.summitpost.org/), but haven't found a site yet to share my non-mountaineering experiences. I hope Atlas Obscura can be the site.
