Andrew has a penchant for exotic food, and in 2008 a serious craving for Latin food hit. Consequently, he spent 19 months bicycling from Vancouver, Canada to Tierra Del Fuego in search of the ultimate empanada. Trading in the open air of his bicycle for a tiny car to overcome obstacles of the Mongol Rally will be a challenging change of pace. If you can get him to stay in one place, he will probably be playing some bluegrass music, cooking up a dish from his travels, or orking as an engineer.

Born and raised in Washington, DC, Seth Teicher's initial curiosity for far-off places grew out of a fascination with an over-sized world atlas that his father kept in his office. Poring over maps of the world, he knew that exploration was in his blood. Since then Seth has been lucky enough to travel to 23 countries, experience wilderness backpacking in the Shenandoah Mountains, a safari in Kenya, and a three-month National Outdoor Leadership School expedition in the Brazilian Amazon wilderness, where he navigated rivers for weeks at a time, and warded off foot fungus and relentless ant colonies. Later, Seth spent six months living in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he got in touch with a slightly more cosmopolitan side of Latin America.

Seth is the Atlas Obscura's social media wrangler and temporarily makes due with getting lost in the annals of Atlas Obscura, while he daydreams of new travels and adventures from the Mediterranean to a return to Latin America.
