stracey's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

stracey

Most comfortable surrounded by nature. Hiking is my favorite outdoor activity, Anything art related and reading is my favorite indoor activity. I'm an animal lover and live a vegan lifestyle. No desire in collecting "things" I'd rather collect experiences. I've always been interested in exploring abandoned houses/buildings and love both beautiful and dark/creepy experiences.
