I travel constantly, and finding a resort that strikes the perfect balance between high-end relaxation and actual fun can be surprisingly difficult. You usually have to compromise on something. The food is mediocre, the transit time eats up half your day, or the pool scene is entirely dead by sunset… it happens more often than …
It’s become all too commonplace to reduce Italy to being overtouristed and overhyped. Between the Roman Colosseum, the winding Venetian canals navigated by long-tail gondolas, and Pisa’s Leaning Tower selfie hub, the ungodly sight of shoulder-to-shoulder crowds is unavoidable. That’s not to say this applies to the wider country, you know, beyond the usual Instagram hotspots. It …
Everyone knows Greece for its power island duo, Santorini and Mykonos, but if it’s the whitewashed cubic houses perched on cliffsides and blue domes you’re after, you don’t necessarily need to splurge on an oceanfront villa to have those. I mean, Santorini has the caldera drama, sure, but unless you’re parked on a pricey lounger …
When you think of America’s metropolises, it’s likely Los Angeles, Chicago, and the Big Apple come to mind.

Let’s face it: now’s truly the best time to hop across the pond, before the blazing summer sun scorches the …
To me, culture is the biggest draw when deciding to pack my passport and laptop and hit the open road. Others seek sun and affordability, but you don’t have to dig too far to find the perfect formula of culture, sunshine, and wallet-friendly prices across Latin America. With 44 countries under my belt, many of …
We’ve all seen the bumper stickers reading “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” But is that really true? Well, we at Travel Off Path scoured the map to find out for ourselves. With that said, I’m admittedly a travel weirdo. I’ve been to Moldova before Paris, Cuba before Punta Cana, and just about every …
When you think of El Salvador, the first images your brain conjures up are probably those of rioting gangs running amok, crime-ridden streets where the law of the strongest prevails, and, as is the case in Latin America, probably corrupt governments. That used to be the case some five or six years ago, and then …
Enough with your Londons, Madrids, and Parises of the world: this year, it’s time for the lesser-known European capitals to step into the limelight. The administrative hub and cultural heart of Lithuania, a small state in northeastern Europe, roughly the size of West Virginia, Vilnius hosted 1.5 million tourists in 2025. That might not sound …
Ever land someplace new and have no idea how to get around? Do you opt to Uber everywhere racking up surge fares, or dare to overpay for a rental car and insurance you hopefully never need?
