You don’t always need a passport to feel like you’ve left the country. Sometimes, you just need a full tank of gas and a willingness to drive until the cell service drops. The United States is massive, and tucked into its corners are towns that defy the standard strip-mall aesthetic. Some look like they were …

So many things come to mind when it comes to Utah. Whether it’s how underrated and gorgeous Salt Lake City is, one of the best states to book a trip of a lifetime to hit the slopes, or perhaps a handful of jokes about BYU’s student life, Utah is so much more diverse than given …

Spoiler alert: I am not a “cruise person.” BUT, I also think cruises are really fun and have their place. I have lived in the Caribbean. I like renting a jeep, eating at roadside shacks, and finding beaches that don’t have 5,000 other people on them. But I have also cruised the Caribbean, and I …

I’m sorry to be the one to say it, but if you claim you’ve been to the U.K. simply by visiting London, you’re having a bit of a laugh. I used to live in London myself on-and-off for several years, and as much as I love Norf Weezy—do people even use that term, still?—with all …

For the past twelve months, the travel industry has been whispering the same rumor: Cancun has peaked. Between the strengthening peso, rising hotel costs, and the aggressive marketing of competitors like Punta Cana, the narrative was that the Mexican Caribbean’s reign as the “King of Tourism” was finally ending. The official data for January 2026 …

Let’s admit it — we’ve all been somewhere that’s turned out to be a dud. Maybe a friend recommended a new restaurant with soggy tofu or perhaps TikTok convinced you some far-flung hidden gem was worth a 12-hour flight only to be discover it doesn’t match the filtered photos. We at Travel Off Path take …

We’re less than 2 months away from spring at this point, but if you think that’s far too early to start planning your next Eurotrip, not every place across the pond is as rainy and damp as London well into July, mi amigo. Costa del Sol is possibly the warmest destination in mainland Europe, and …

We’re all guilty of overlooking things — even the most seasoned travelers. Heck, it took me 35 years to visit Cancun. But that’s just it… If there’s one thing a globetrotter like me knows for sure, it’s that the most unsung destinations often leave the most meaningful lasting impression, even more so than any mainstream …

For generations, a blue U.S. passport was the ultimate “All-Access Pass.” You booked a flight, you landed, you walked through. No questions, no fees, no paperwork. By the end of 2026, that era is officially dead. It’s not about how many countries Americans can travel visa-free to. That is the outdated system. This is about …

You know what they say: the longer you stick around somewhere, no matter if it seems to have come straight out of a fairytale, you start taking things for granted. Unlike most people, who save up for years to come to Europe on a two-week summer trip every once in a while, I live right …

Did you know you can buy “Santorini Blue” paint at such stores as Sherwin-Williams? It’s true. That’s how iconic Greece’s most sought-after island has embedded itself into our lives, so that even basic home projects have us dreaming of the Mediterranean. Equally as popular are travel publications scouring the globe for Santorini dupes. Hey, guilty …

Ah, the Midwest — no oceans, no palm trees, and blistering cold winters. Yet, come springtime, this sprawling region of the U.S. becomes a hotspot for travelers who enjoy vast cityscapes holding thrilling events and urban delights. If you’re becoming a gray-beard like me, perhaps you remember 90’s Hostess commercials with the punchline, “where’s the …
