peggycleary's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

peggycleary

I travel around the world with my husband, independently, 27 countries (at least), of which I've spent a month or more in 9 and lived in 4 others. I favor obscure, out-of-the-way, quirky destinations, sites, and experiences. A dunk in a mud volcano, for example, or a visit to a palm leaf library.
