Claire Past the Potholes's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Claire Past the Potholes

I am an elementary school teacher who loves to get out of the classroom and travel. My husband and I run Past The Potholes, a blog about traveling as a couple with permanent jobs in Canada. When I'm not in the classroom, or traveling, I can usually be found on a squash court, beach or golf course.
