In an era where popular destinations are in fact raising barriers and imposing increasingly strict restrictions on visitors, in a desperate bid to protect themselves from overtourism, there’s one city in Mexico that’s doing the exact opposite. Unlike Venice, which now charges day-trippers an entry fee on certain dates, or Barcelona, the tourism cesspit of …

After years of back and forth, false deadlines, and rampant misinformation, this time it’s official: the European Commission has struck the hammer and confirmed 2026 is the year the controversial ETIAS launches. If you haven’t been following the complex European bureaucracy or you’re not a Travel Off Path reader, you might have missed a massive …

Buenos Aires may be one of the most beautiful cities in South America, with its Haussmann-inspired boulevards à la parisienne, lush urban parks, and unrivaled gastronomy, but let’s face it, it’s sort of yesterday’s news. It’s been covered to death by most major travel publications, and even if you haven’t been to BA yourself, we’re …

Another year has gone by, and Italy is yet to crack its unsustainable overtourism problem. Whether you’re in Rome, Florence, or Venice, waking up at 5 am to get crowd-free pictures is no longer an option, and neither is wandering around without constantly bumping into other people. It was about time the Italian Government Tourism …

We all know (and love) Mexico for its paradisaical Caribbean coast and with world-class resorts with the kind of five-star amenities you’d think would only be reserved for the elites, but lately, we’ve been craving more. Don’t get us wrong, we’re definitely not ones to think we’re too intellectual, and above everyone else to look down …

Be it for the delicious cuisine, the breathtaking nature, or the colonial landmarks, it’s no secret that Latin America is the go-to destination for millions of Americans. Navigating the nether half of the continent isn’t always the easiest task, though: safety levels can vary drastically between different destinations. Some are very safe, if not safer …

We all love the Caribbean for its paradisaical white-sand beaches, seas of the most impossible turquoise color, and of course, the luxurious all-inclusives where even commoners like us get treated like royalty. That said, sometimes you want a little more than bottomless brunch and margaritas by the pool. Every now and then, the culture buff …

Everyone knows and (arguably) loves the Mexican Caribbean for its all-inclusive hotels, tropical vibes, and year-round great weather, but have you, by any chance, caught wind of this so-called Cancun fatigue lately? As we touched on previously, Mexico’s busiest string of resorts is sort of losing its luster, now that everyone’s been, and tourists are not really …

If you’re anything like me, you probably know Italy for its pastel-hue, skinny townhouses with green shutters lining an azure Mediterranean, bustling street markets where you can barely hear your own thoughts over the loud chattering of merchants, and of course, that unbeatable summery feel. I thought that was all Italy had in store (not …

Broken cobblestones, overhanging wires between candy-colored colonial townhouses, the loud chattering coming from street markets, and the smell of deep-fried arepas filling the air: there’s nothing quite like a Latin American getaway. Unfortunately, it’s not like the best of Latin America is easily accessible for Americans. Yes, you can fly direct to Rio or Mexico City, and gorgeous …

Forget San Miguel de Allende. This winter, travelers are trading the crowded cobblestones for a misty mountain town that feels more like Europe than Mexico. Mexico is famous for its colonial magic, but there is one historic gem that remains criminally overlooked. It isn’t just another Spanish colonial town—it is a bizarre and beautiful historical …

Ahhh, the Caribbean… no matter where you go in the world, nothing quite compares to the palm-lined white sands, impossibly turquoise seas, and warm temps you can rely on year-round. Gorgeous as it may be, there’s no denying a Caribbean vacay comes with a fair bit of planning: not only picking out the right hotel …
