Hi! I'm Dylan, one of the co-founders of Atlas Obscura and co-author of the bestselling books Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide To The World’s Hidden Wonders and The Atlas Obscura Explorer's Guide for the World's Most Adventurous Kid.
As a teenager, I explored abandoned buildings around the Midwest and eventually spent a year living in Budapest, where my wife and I photographed and wrote about unusual places and intriguing objects. The experience changed my life and was a huge inspiration for Atlas Obscura.
Now I serve as the company's creative director and travel the world spreading its mission of inspiring wonder and curiosity.
