“To be a true all rounder, you must travel the deepest darkest corners of the earth”
I just made that quote up, but it sounds pretty good.
With Atlas Obscura you’ll find out about places that HAVEN’T been made up, but are REAL.
And what’s more, you can save thousands in travel costs. It’s one book! You can sit on you comfy couch and memorise all these cool places and then bring them up in conversation.
“I think my favourite picnic spot is a small underground cave in Indonesia. The blue lagoon juxtaposes nicely with the grey caves walls, and the lush greens of the surrounding forest.”
You can even use my quote to prove you’re a modern day Hemingway.
