TheVenture Seekers

We're Jake and Brittany. We actually grew up as backyard neighbors, started dating in high school, and got married pretty young. Now we're raising and homeschooling our two kids, Aniston and Noah, right here in the Midwest.

Neither of us grew up traveling much, and our regular jobs don't exactly hand out time off to wander. So we started this little corner of the internet to push ourselves to go do the things: weekend trips, big bucket-list adventures, and all the everyday stuff in between, together as a family. Now we're taking the biggest leap yet: in early 2027 we're leaving Illinois behind to travel full time as a family.

We share the kind of content we'd want to see ourselves: honest, a little cinematic, and meant to leave you feeling happy, inspired, and like you're right there with us.

A Little About Us

We're not your typical travel creators.

We love showing you the whole journey, including the life we live outside of traveling. For years our careers kept us closer to home than we'd like. So we said yes to the dream we've talked about for over a decade: starting in early 2027, we're selling our home, letting go of practically everything, and hitting the road as a family to search for our forever home.

So when we aren't adventuring, you'll catch us dancing in the kitchen, roping the kids into another ridiculous challenge, or laughing about something nobody else would find funny. That's the real us. Stick around and enjoy.
