teeeener's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

teeeener

I work in the nonprofit sector by helping people with basic needs, like clothes for interviews or employment. If I could have any job in the world it would be to visit roadside attractions throughout America and then tell people about them. People can get paid for that, right? In my spare time I: read, train for half marathons, eat junk food, and take pictures of interesting carpets in public places.
