Let’s be honest: the Caribbean has a bit of a reputation problem. For most Americans, it’s nothing more than a “fly and flop” destination—a place to sit in a walled-off resort, drink watery mojitos, and pretend you’re exploring a new culture while never actually leaving the hotel lobby. We all know the usual suspects: Punta …

Let’s be honest: travel has gotten expensive. The days of the $500 European flight and the $100 luxury hotel seem like a distant memory. But the savvy traveler knows that “expensive” is a choice, not a rule. While the crowds flock to Italy, Japan, and Costa Rica—and pay a premium for the privilege—there is a …

If you’re craving something exotic, untouched, and authentic beyond belief, then we at Travel Off Path have just the place for you! When you envision the Caribbean, it’s likely wondrous islands and Mexico’s string of paradise beach towns come to mind, but not so much lush jungles, thatched villages, virgin coastlines, and untamed rivers you’ll …

With Jamaica in recovery mode, and The Bahamas and Dominican Republic just as popular as ever, it’s safe to say more travelers are venturing into lesser-known territory for their own slice of paradise. Here at Travel Off Path, there’s nothing we love more than revealing the next “it” destination. With some help from Fodor’s, who …

Today’s mission: Don’t mention The White Lotus. Whoops. Too late. Instead, we’ll talk about something more current, as HBO’s hit show is allegedly filming in France, giving Thailand’s island tourism rush a well-deserved breather. Well, that would be true except we’re honing in on the “high season”. This time of year sees floods of crowds …

Rumor has it that season 4 of The White Lotus is in the works. Word on the street says the French Riviera may be the next locale that set-jetters will surely invade once all the twists and turns of the first episode air. Given the massive popularity (and rightfully so if you ask me) of …

When you think of gorgeous mountain getaways, places like Asheville, Lake Tahoe, and Colorado’s array of alpine villages likely come to mind. But the Southwest is your best bet to avoid teeth-chattering chills over the next few months unless you’d rather stay back home and shovel your driveway — who wants to do that? As …

Is Greece olds news? Hardly. But the Turkish Riviera has been on a tear in recent years largely due to the explosive popularity of Antalya. What was formerly a cheap beach getaway as an alternative to pricier Mediterranean gems (ahem, Santorini…) is now in the same category given its newfound fame. Don’t get us wrong …

Move over, Aspen! There’s a hidden gem we at Travel Off Path are thrilled to reveal as one of the most underrated winter wonderlands right here in our own backyard.

It’s estimated there are as many as 7000 islands dotting the otherworldly blue Caribbean Sea. You could have 6,999 guesses, and you still might not be able to guess which island is boldly aiming to become America’s favorite new vacation destination. Vastly under-hyped and beyond your typical ‘hidden gem’, this cultural paradise has slipped under …

Most travelers jetting off to the UK visit several major cities. Of course, London is the most notable of the bunch. While England has a handful of cities breaking tourism records, London outshines them any day of the week. But what about lesser-known hideaways nearby? A quick hop aboard a train can have you entering …

Madrid this, and Barcelona that. Throw in Ibiza for good measure… With overhyped coverage of iconic cities we’re already familiar with and headline-grabbing over-tourism protests, it seems as though travelers are being led in the wrong direction for an epic Spain vacation. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with visiting Spain’s world-renowned cities, but there’s far more …
