About Us

Hello and welcome to Miles Before Sunrise! My name is Lucas Bennett, and together with my wife, Sarah, we created this blog to share our love for travel with the world.

How It All Began

It all started after we got married. Like many couples, we wanted to explore new places, so we began traveling to different cities and countries. We quickly realized that traveling was more than just a vacation for us—it became a way of life. We discovered new cultures, tried different foods, and made memories that we’ll cherish forever.

But along the way, we also learned something important: not every place is as amazing as it looks on social media. Some destinations are all hype with little to offer. We often found ourselves in places that didn’t live up to the buzz, while other spots—hidden and less talked about—were absolute gems.

We Do

That’s where Miles Before Sunrise comes in. We started this blog to help people like you find the true beauty in travel. We want to guide you to places that are really worth visiting, and give you honest advice about places you might want to skip. Our goal is to save you time, money, and frustration, so you can focus on enjoying your adventures.

We share personal stories, tips, and guides for destinations we’ve been to. You’ll find everything from quiet beach towns to bustling city escapes, from famous landmarks to little-known spots. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or planning a long vacation, we’ve got something for everyone.

We Promise

Why We Love Traveling For us, traveling isn’t just about ticking places off a list. It’s about connecting with new people, learning from different cultures, and gaining fresh perspectives on life. Every trip has taught us something, whether it’s how to pack smarter, navigate an unfamiliar city, or simply relax and enjoy the moment. We believe travel opens your mind and heart, and we want to inspire you to experience that too.
