Christmas is right around the corner, but if shopping mall ice rinks and overpriced ski resorts in Colorado don’t exactly help you get in the festive spirit, there’s only one thing that will. Picture ancient cobblestone-paved towns dusted with snow, a medieval belfry in the distance with resounding bells marking the hour, and an endless …

If you’re a frequent traveler who spends half their time looking for flight deals online, chances are you’ve used Skyscanner at some point. Along with Google Flights, it is perhaps the most popular platform for tracking the cheapest route in the market, especially because airlines aren’t particularly known for displaying the most attractive fare on …

Some of us are already dreaming about what could be under our Christmas tree in a couple of months. If you ask us here at Travel Off Path, feel free to box up some plane tickets and put a bow on it (enough with the Starbucks gift cards already!). United Airlines is assisting in our …

Thinking of attempting a late-season escapade to the Mediterranean, but the jarring sight of surging crowds in places like Rome, Santorini, Mallorca, and Dubrovnik keeps putting you off? It’s October, and they should have subsided by now… right? Right? Sadly, high and low seasons are no longer concepts that can be applied in certain destinations, …

Summer 2025 may already be history, but if you’ve been saving all year and are still dreaming of sun-soaked Mediterranean shores and an idyllic getaway across the pond, here’s where you can catch the last few streaks of sunshine… without the crazy crowds: If you’re Roman Empire-obsessed, and your personal idea of fun is exploring …

No man is an island, but every once in a while, we all crave a little bit of reclusiveness, especially if you’re flying all the way from America to Europe for a sun-soaked vacation, and all you need is some peace and quiet. As beautiful as places like Santorini and Palma de Mallorca may be, …

Unfortunately, not all of Europe is no longer the peaceful, prosperous continent we once knew. As tourists have learned in recent years, sometimes the hard way, stepping out at night in poorly-lit areas, or carrying valuable pieces of jewelry can sometimes cost you dearly, if not your physical integrity, and more and more, certain European …

If you’re dreaming of your next trip across the pond, but have been waiting for the crowds to dwindle and that scorching weather to cool a little, chances are you’re eyeing September (or even early October) as your travel window. This summer, Europe has seen overtourism and extreme heat like never before, but it’s no …

At Travel Off Path, we encourage you to jet-set anytime you can. Conversely, we also realize the importance of taking a step back to savor the flavor, no matter which destination you find yourself in. There’s no type of traveler who can do just that more so than digital nomads, who are essentially given an …

Whatever happened to the Europe we knew and loved? Cobbled streets and half-timbered houses that once evoked fairytale scenes are now littered and plagued by pickpockets. Train stations that once stirred nostalgia with their ornate architecture and daily humdrum now house rough sleepers and have become hotspots for crime. Places like England, France, and Germany …

There are few direct flights to Croatia from the U.S., so why not go a little off the beaten path into one of Central Europe’s most aesthetically captivating cities? While Dubrovnik is all the rage each summer, Croatia’s capital is perhaps the country’s biggest surprise, especially since there’s no beach in sight. Despite no sparkling …

Long gone are the days when Dubrovnik used to be one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. Since it featured as ‘King’s Landing’ on Game of Thrones, and since it went Insta-famous, the fortified city has nearly been engulfed by the crowds. It now ranks among some of the most overtouristed places in the Old Continent, up …
