Mountainous landscape in an off the beaten path part of the isle of skye with a road running across the landscape and a red car parked on the side in the distance inspiring a sense of adventure and exploration

The world is a big place.
There are so many hidden gems.
I’m here to help you find them.

About Me

I’m Alex Tiffany.

I love offbeat travel and discovering lesser-known destinations.

Originally from the UK, I’ve been travelling on-and-off for 13 years, and full-time travelling for the last 3 years.

I’ve independently travelled to over 70 countries, seeking out the world’s best hidden gems. 

I firmly believe that the most rewarding adventures usually lie off the beaten path.

My mission is to help you uncover these extraordinary places, lesser-known destinations, and hidden travel gems.

From picturesque villages in Albania to remote national parks in Sri Lanka, I’ve uncovered some of the world’s best-kept secrets, and now I’m sharing them with you.

Welcome to Just Go Exploring!

Your guide to the BEST off-the-beaten-path destinations and hidden gems worldwide.

Why travel off the beaten path?

A lot of places you see in your Instagram feed are over-touristed. They’ve become overcrowded, over-priced, and (in my view) over-rated.

My best travel memories are mostly from times when I was travelling off the beaten path.

I’m here to share why I love this style of travel and how it could be a game-changer for you as well.

Ever been to sri lanka?

Sri Lanka is a popular holiday destination, and for good reason. But this gorgeous gem of a country is also an incredible place to get off the beaten path and explore.

From its stunning beaches and lush green hills to its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking wildlife, Sri Lanka is a place I’ll never get tired of visiting.
