About Us
Welcome to Atlas Adventured
Hi! We’re Seth, Sara, and Millie — the family behind AtlasAdventured.
We’re a family of three fueled by curiosity, adventure, and a deep love for this planet. Since 2018, we’ve been exploring the world together — one culture, one meal, and one unforgettable moment at a time.
Travel isn’t just something we enjoy — it’s how we learn.
It’s how our daughter, Millie, experiences languages, customs, and traditions that can’t be found in a textbook. It’s how we discover what connects us all — and how to better protect the only home we all share: Earth.
What We Believe
🧠 Travel is a form of education.
Whether it’s learning a new language or trying an unfamiliar dish, each experience helps us grow.
🌍 There’s beauty everywhere.
From bustling cities to quiet villages, we seek wonder in every corner of the world.
🤝 Cultural respect matters.
We travel to understand — not to consume.
♻️ Being eco-conscious is non-negotiable.
We choose sustainable options whenever possible and aim to reduce our footprint.
👨👩👧 Family travel is powerful.
And we’re here to help show you how.
Our Story
We’re the Lawyers. (No, not that kind — though you wouldn’t be the first to ask!)
Sara was born in a small town in Western New York, raised with strong family values, and later found her passion for food at culinary school in Southern California. She believes food tells the story of a place — and she’s been devouring those stories ever since.
Seth was born in West Germany on a U.S. military base and has been moving and learning ever since. A self-proclaimed lifelong student, he’s fascinated by the environment, global cultures, and finding better ways to live in harmony with the planet.
We met in 2009 in Costa Mesa, California — next-door neighbors turned lifelong travel partners. We got engaged in Jamaica, but instead of throwing a wedding, we took off to backpack the world. The trip that changed everything.
Then came Millie. Born in 2019, she’s the reason we see the world with even more wonder. Our travels slowed during COVID, but our dreams didn’t. We chose to worldschool Millie — giving her a front-row seat to the world’s cultures, landscapes, and life lessons.
Why We Started AtlasAdventured
We launched this blog to share not just where we go, but why we go. We write for families like ours — who believe that travel is more than vacation photos and itineraries. It’s a way of life.
Here, you’ll find:
- 🧭 Personal stories from the road
- 🏨 Honest reviews of stays, eats, and experiences
- 🌱 Sustainable travel tips
- 👧 Kid-friendly guides
- ✨ And sometimes… just a dose of inspiration
If our journey helps even one family pack that bag or say “yes” to that trip — it’s all worth it.
Travel is infectious — in the best way. After planning a multi-country trip for Millie’s birthday with both sides of our family, somehow, “we could never travel like that” turned into “where to next?” and start planning trips of their own. Once you step outside your comfort zone, you realize the world isn’t just big — it’s beautiful, affordable, and full of stories you’ll never forget. Unlike material things, travel gives you memories that age well. Whether you splurge or stick to a budget, we’ve got tips to stretch your savings and your smile. Not sure where to begin? Our travel help form is a great place to start — the world’s waiting.
Let’s Connect
We love connecting with curious families, fellow adventurers, and travel-loving humans from around the world. Follow along, say hi, or share your favorite hidden gem!
