Profile image for Seth Teicher

Seth Teicher

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2009

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' business development and social media wrangler. He can be reached about sponsorship and ad inquiries at seth@atlasobscura.com
