I grew up exploring the world’s quirkiest museums and offbeat tourist spots—from an ossuary made of skeletons in rural Prague and the tallest bell tower in Germany, to the small German town that invented the cuckoo clock. Seeing so many odd and wonderful places as a kid sparked my curiosity and turned me into someone who asks a lot of questions.
I have a habit of falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes on just about any topic, and when I travel, my favorite thing to do is wander into random neighborhoods just to dig through local thrift stores. My best find so far? A tiny shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, just weeks after Fringe Festival that was filled to the brim with fun costumes, kilts, wool sweaters, and knick knacks that could've been taken right off of the set of Outlander.
