architecture of AndaluciaHello,

Welcome to Adventure Traveler Online, or ATO, as we like to call it. This website began as an idea, a passion, a means to build bridges across continents and do our small part in contributing to the positive changes always relevant and important throughout our world.  

This will be reflected in the editorial content and images shared throughout. Whether focused on humanitarian efforts, sustainably driven business, cultural explorations, a weekend excursion, or building a new eco resort. We will provide feature stories, destination articles, photo essays, Q & A's, product and business highlights all with interesting and influential people from all across the globe.

In considering the many “problems” of the world, we seek to be informative and influential as to what is happening and what we can do about it. It is our priority to have an honest voice throughout. To support companies and people that are actively working to help improve our planet. As well, we hope to inspire more travel and for our readers to get out there and connect, beyond religion, region and politics.

We hope you enjoy our articles about Ireland’s Giant Causeway, Ecuadors continued efforts to clear out a decades old oil spill, Fair Trade USA Katie Barrow’s visit to Rwanda, our trip to adventurous Pasco County in FL, and a brave woman’s quest to provide us a Luminous Scope into a side of the Middle East that so often goes unnoticed.

Life is complex, people are diverse. We hope to reflect that, tackling serious issues, while at the same time celebrating the many amazing and beautiful experiences that are to be had and traveled to.

ATO is travel, it is interesting people, it is difference in culture, it is music, it is art, it is addressing the issues that challenge our world while instilling a positive, purposeful, and even playful approach to changing them for the better.  

We hope that ATO speaks to the adventure traveler in all of us. Something you can relate to and that will inspire you to get out there and…experience your world!
