WELCOME TO OFF PATH TRAVELS!

We’ll help you plan your outdoor adventures, explore off the beaten path destinations, and enrich your life through travel.

HI! WE’RE KRISTINA & MICHAEL

We’re the adventure travel couple behind Off Path Travels.

We started traveling full time in 2018 and we’ve been sharing our best tips and travel guides with readers ever since!

GEAR

Who wants to spend time sifting through outdoor adventure and travel gear to find the ones that are really worth buying? We do!

We do the research for you, test the products out in the field, and share the winning gear with you.

ADVENTURES

Camping, Backpacking, and Hiking

Do you like to surround yourself with nature and sleep under the stars? Us too!

Learn from our experience as full-time campers and check out these posts to keep your camping game strong.

Beaches

Who doesn’t love relaxing on sandy beaches listening to waves crash? Or perhaps you’re like us and want to grab a snorkel (or scuba gear) and hop right in.

If you’re interested in figuring out where your next beach vacation is going to be, then these are the posts for you.

Cenotes

Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is packed full of cenotes. And lucky for you, we love exploring these water-filled sinkholes and sharing them with the world.

Waterfalls, Rivers, Canyons, Lakes, and Lagoons

Water is crazy. And we love the things it creates. From giant canyons to incredible waterfalls, there’s something special about these locations. So dive in and read some of the best water features around.

Archeological Ruins

Exploring ancient ruins and invoking our inner Indiana Jones is one of our favorite pastimes.

DESTINATIONS

United States

We’re from the western United States (Kristina is from California and Michael is from Colorado) so we’re a little biased. But we’re pretty sure we’re not the only ones that love the west!

That’s why we have plenty of posts to get you started exploring this incredible region.

Mexico

Did you know that Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world? There’s a lot more than just the sandy beaches. Although, we do love those too!

Since starting Off Path Travels, we’ve spent over 8 months traveling exclusively in Mexico. Again, we’re a little biased because Kristina is Mexican, but we just can’t get enough of this amazing country.

Mexico Travel Tips

We know Mexico very well and understand what it takes to have the best time visiting this wonderful country. Check out these posts to learn more:

Yucatan Peninsula

A lot of people know the Yucatan Peninsula for its resort town, Cancun, but that’s not the only treat in the area.

Filled with incredible snorkeling, scuba diving, beaches, cenotes, archaeological ruins, and cities, there’s always something to do here.

Oaxaca and Chiapas

These two states in southern Mexico are full of nearly everything you could want. Honestly, besides some of the areas we grew up with, this might be our favorite spot in the world.

Oaxaca is full of rich culture and delicious food, and Chiapas has jungle, ruins, and stunning lakes and waterfalls.

Belize

Ever wonder where travel bloggers go to get married? Here’s your answer! And we will definitely be celebrating anniversaries there as much as we can.

Belize has island getaways, jungle adventures, archeological ruins, and downright amazing people and food.

Southeast Asia

Every budget backpacker’s dream destination. Southeast Asia has something for everyone to enjoy including tropical islands, bustling cities, and delicious food.
