We at Travel Off Path have reported on dozens of new European hotspots — some more recognizable than others. While most agree that places like Paris are never a bad idea, no-name cities are popping up left and right on travelers’ radars, such as the gorgeous Latvian capital of Riga, for example. Then there are others …

After decades of empty promises, government after government, the long-anticipated, bordering-on-mythical Rail Baltica is finally leaving the drawing board. As confirmed in a European Commission press release, the largest infrastructure project to have ever been pursued in the Baltic region—and Eastern Europe as a whole—is going ahead, significantly improving connectivity across a previously-fragmented 559-mile stretch. …

We’ve been singing its praises for years, and we’ll keep hammering it home until it sticks: Mexico is so much more than its Caribbean beaches, larger-than-life luxury resorts, and touristy pyramids. We can’t exactly take full credit, but after years of covering off-path destinations in Mexico that most mainstream travel publications ignore, we feel it’s …

Central America has always been the scrappy underdog of the travel world. For years, travelers would skip over the “middle bits” to get straight to Mexico or Costa Rica. Big mistake. Right now, this is arguably the most exciting region on the map. It’s having a massive “glow up”—moving away from just cheap backpacker hostels …

Did you know Airbnb has a new rival? It’s true. HomeToGo is slowly becoming a household name and we at Travel Off Path have full trust in their insightful reports. The latest one revealed some golden nuggets, especially if you’re craving a European escape now that winter winds down. With much more palatable weather, one …

Expedia just revealed some insightful nuggets sure to blow your mind. If you had to guess where travelers are flocking in Latin America, you might nail the countries on the head, but the cities they’re scoping out are full of mystery. Lucky for you, we are a seasoned group of travelers here at Travel Off …

When you envision Europe, it’s likely one of two things — iconic cities you’ve seen in the movies or time capsule destinations that never seem to age. Experts at Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) just revealed their take on Eastern Europe’s must-visit getaways, a region of Europe that doesn’t see as many of the cookie-cutter …

I’ve been living in Paris for the past half-decade, and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve cringed internally eavesdropping on tourists at dinner table convos in Montmartre bistrots. Usually it involves a dramatic retelling of their exciting “first day” in “Europe,” how the Mowna Lisaah is indeed small and unimpressive in real …

Colombia’s always been a familiar name for Americans, but maybe for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t until recently, however, that the travel community began to recognize Colombia as a world-class destination. Societal problems aside, the country’s been on a rapid upward trend in visitor numbers since the Covid era, and even though 2026’s barely started, …

Alright, travelers… It’s time to un-hibernate and embrace the warmth of spring. Sure, you can book a cookie-cutter trip to Cancun or Cabo, but we all know unforgettable adventures lie in real Mexico. Of course, “real Mexico” earns a side-eye from time to time from those who consider Taco Bell to be Mexican food — …

Having spent time living in the Caribbean, I learned quickly that the postcard version of the Caribbean often skips over the logistical realities. Safety down here isn’t just about avoiding sketchy neighborhoods; it is about infrastructure, medical capabilities, and how effectively a local government manages the chaos of mass tourism. The U.S. State Department ranks …

As more tourism titans become old news, travelers are saying “yes!” to more adventurous destinations. We at Travel Off Path have lost count of how many ‘hidden gems’ we’ve reported on that broke all-time visitor records in recent years. But what we’re sure of is that if one of our most beloved hideaways was more …
