Lucy DiSanto's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Lucy DiSanto

I love getting lost in new places and stumbling across something beautiful, or mysterious, or quietly distinctive to a time and place. Having lived and worked in Scotland, India, Italy, and New York, I recently moved to Portland, OR and have been enjoying exploring a new place!
