MarianaAguiar's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

MarianaAguiar

I'm an enthusiast of solo traveling, language learning, and getting to know different cultures. The more places I visit, the more I'm aware that there's still a lot to discover! When I can't go elsewhere, I enjoy unveiling my own hometown. And, taking interesting photos of what I find on my way is part of the process.
