Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I've been to 23 countries, 49 states, and have hiked the most amazing trails in the world. I enjoy driving back roads without a destination, using real maps, and camping by roaring fires. You can find fun anywhere if you keep an open and curious mind. My motto: "Do what you love, love what you do."
