Need an escape from coronavirus? you’ve come to the right place!

Europe is a treasure trove of secrets waiting to be discovered. Check out some of the new blog posts and get planning for 2021!

Hi, I’m John!

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

I moved to Spain in 2017 as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. Stepping off the plane in Madrid on a warm September day, I was just starting what would be the beginning of an amazing journey across the continent of Europe. While teaching in the small city of Logroño is my main occupation, I discovered a love of travel in my free time.

What has emerged is not only a desire to travel, but also to learn and to grow as a citizen of the world. It is my hope that Off the Beaten Path will help you discover Europe’s popular and hidden treasures through useful information and photos from my travels.

For seasoned and beginner travelers alike, there will be tips and sights to help you really discover all the corners of Europe. First time visiting? Learn about the most important sites to see. Looking for something more local? See Europe from a European perspective and dive into the native culture and cuisine. Whatever you’re looking for, it is my hope that you find something that makes you pack your bags and set off on a new adventure!

Bon voyage!

John
