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.
