Traveling is an incredible adventure, full of excitement, new experiences, and unforgettable memories. The best part of my journeys is discovering hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path travel destinations that most travelers overlook. From charming villages and bustling cities to serene beaches and stunning landscapes, every destination has a unique beauty waiting to be explored.
Where will your next travel adventure take you? Whether you’re seeking a family-friendly getaway, a deep dive into cultural travel experiences, or a thrill-packed journey, Where I Wander offers something for every kind of wanderer. Explore my curated travel destinations—from multi-generational family trips to romantic couple escapes—with insider tips and hidden gems that make every trip extraordinary.
Visiting off-the-beaten-path places can provide a unique and memorable travel experience. In southeastern France, the beautiful region of Provence offers beautiful lavender fields, charming hilltop towns, and delicious local cuisine. Another must-visit destination in France is the Palace of Versailles, located just outside of Paris. For a more laid-back destination, consider a trip to the charming village of Eze, located on the French Riviera. This picturesque hilltop town offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, beautiful cobblestone streets, and charming shops and cafes.
Of course, some destinations stand out more than others. One of my recent favorites was a charming coastal town in Portugal, where we stayed in a uniquely picturesque hotel near some breathtaking views of the ocean. Another unforgettable trip was to a remote island in the Caribbean, where we discovered a secluded beach and indulged in a private cabana and tropical cocktails.
No matter where we go or what we do, each trip brings new surprises and adventures. From sampling local cuisine to learning about different cultures and exploring hidden gems, traveling offers endless opportunities for discovery and amazement.
