Duncan J. D. Smith

    Duncan J. D. Smith, connu sous le nom de The Urban Explorer, s'aventure hors des sentiers battus pour découvrir les coins cachés et les lieux curieux du monde. Ses guides distinctifs sont conçus pour immerger les lecteurs dans les lieux et les personnes insolites qu'il a découverts sur quatre continents. Avec une profonde affection pour les lieux sur lesquels il écrit et une vaste archive photographique, Smith offre aux lecteurs un aperçu captivant des aspects moins connus de l'histoire et de la culture. Son travail découle d'une fascination d'une vie pour l'histoire et l'archéologie, éveillée dans sa jeunesse.
