Hi, I'm Natalija Ugrina, and I have a confession: I'm completely obsessed with places that give you goosebumps.
While most travelers follow the well-worn tourist paths, I'm the one asking locals about their town's weirdest legends, seeking out abandoned buildings with fascinating histories, and investigating those mysterious spots that guidebooks either skip or barely mention.
My journey started as simple curiosity, but it's evolved into something much deeper. I've explored the gravity-defying Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, investigated the UFO mysteries and alien legends of Roswell, New Mexico, and unraveled the ancient enigma of Costa Rica's mysterious stone spheres in Diquís. Each destination has taught me that the most incredible stories are often hiding in plain sight.
From the eerie ghost towns of Florida to the mysterious streets of Buenos Aires, from Germany's most adorable crooked house to the hidden gems of Tortola and the architectural enigmas of Uruguay - I don't just visit these places, I dive into their stories. I talk to locals, research the history, and share the real, unfiltered experiences that most people never get to hear about.
What drives me isn't just the thrill of discovery - it's the connection between past and present, the way these mysterious places make us question what we think we know about the world. Every crumbling wall has a story, every local legend has roots in truth, and every "weird" tradition reveals something beautiful about human nature.
Join me as I continue exploring the world's most intriguing destinations. Because sometimes, the best travel experiences are the ones that leave you with more questions than answers - and give you the most incredible stories to tell.
