What happens when a young couple swaps their wedding vows for an epic global adventure? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Seth and Sarah, who did just that—and came back with more than souvenirs. This episode unveils their incredible journey from backpacking across continents to the unexpected joy of parenthood, all while navigating the challenges of a world on lockdown. Discover how they resumed their travels with baby Millie in tow, from traversing Canada to soaking up the sun in Jamaica, and the crucial lessons they learned along the way, like the art of packing light and finding supplies on the go.

We also dive into how rising mortgage rates pushed Seth and Sarah to make a life-changing decision: transitioning from occasional vacations to full-time globe-trotting. Learn their secret sauce for meticulous yet flexible travel planning, and get inspired by their memorable detours like the one to France. They also share the hurdles and rewards of maintaining a social media presence and generating income through their blog, atlasadventured.com, and personalized travel planning services. Plus, get a taste of their culinary escapades in Peru and hear about their future travel aspirations.

Ever wondered how to homeschool your child while exploring the world? Seth and Sarah share their unique approach to "world schooling" Millie, highlighting her impressive language skills and social interactions with kids from various cultures. They open up about initial skepticism from family and friends and the research and safety measures they take to ensure smooth travels. In this episode, we also explore the logistics of long-term travel in Europe, especially within the Schengen Zone's 90-day limit. From their strategic planning tips to reflections on how this lifestyle has inspired even their most travel-averse relatives, Seth and Sarah offer a compelling narrative that will make you rethink what's possible for family life.
