Travel the world long enough, and you will find yourself in a sketchy situation. I’ve been scammed, had taxi drivers throw coffee at me, and once booked a nonexistent hotel in Mexico, leaving me and my girlfriend stranded in a town we probably weren’t pronouncing right. In other words, a little research goes a long …

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 …

If you’ve been following my country-hopping adventures here on Travel Off Path for the past five years, you know by now there aren’t that many places left to check off on my Europe bucket list.

At this time of year, you’re likely prioritizing destinations where temps are in the upper 70s, you don’t step outside the door and you’re suddenly knee-deep in snow, and where there are more than 5 hours of daylight every day. That’s Iceland for you, but before you think we’re discouraging you from visiting and you …

Northern lights and cheap flights – if that’s not enticing enough to book a trip, then I don’t know what is! Lots can be said about my favorite country, some good, some bad – if there’s one thing for certain, fall is the best time to explore Iceland. What once seemed like an unattainable far-flung …

Iceland is no longer the far-flung country it used to be. It is arguably one of the trendiest in Europe for a variety of reasons.
