jlefors's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

I've wanted to be a traveler all my life, but my wallet doesn't always let me. I've seen some amazing places in the United States through work travel, and have even ventured south of the border a few times. But I still want to travel outside the states soon, hopefully that will happen. Atlas Obscura is a great organization and I love everything I see on the site.
