About Sam Sears

Sam Is A Lead Travel Writer And Journalist At Travel Off Path

“I grew up all over the state of Texas with the belief that traveling is expensive, difficult and unattainable. Our family vacations were road trips to San Antonio, yet I always found myself consumed with the desire to see more of the world. In 2014, I took my first flight in years and have never looked back. I have been to 28 countries and 33 states with no plans to ever stop exploring. I'm happy to not only share my own experiences, but hopefully inspire others to see the world as well.”
