About No Path Travel

It started, as most good ideas do, over drinks after work.

We were two software engineers at the same company, bonding over shared frustrations with enterprise dashboards and a mutual obsession: finding places that didn't show up in the first ten pages of Google results. Places where the WiFi password wasn't posted on a chalkboard because there wasn't any WiFi. Or a chalkboard.

One of us had just returned from a motorcycle loop through northern Vietnam, riding roads that weren't on any map we could find beforehand. The other was planning a trek to a glacier in Georgia (the country, not the state) that required a four-hour marshrutka ride with a driver who communicated exclusively through cigarette smoke signals.

"Someone should build a site for this stuff. Not the Instagram-famous spots. The weird, wonderful places you can't find unless you already know about them."

Six months and approximately four hundred post-work coding sessions later, No Path Travel exists.

What We're Building

This isn't a site about bucket lists or "hidden gems" that get 50,000 visitors a day. It's a collection of places that made us feel something — wonder, exhaustion, mild concern about our life choices, and occasionally all three at once.

We write about destinations that reward curiosity over convenience. Trip reports that tell you what actually happened, not what looks good in a reel. Practical guides that assume you're willing to figure things out as you go.

Every destination here has been visited by someone who cared enough to document it properly. No sponsored content. No "top 10" lists generated by an algorithm. Just real places, real stories, and real information for people who'd rather get lost on purpose than follow the crowd.

Why "No Path"?

Because the best moments happen when you stop following the marked trail. When you take that unmarked left turn, strike up a conversation with a stranger, or decide that yes, you probably can make it to that village before dark.

(You probably can't, but you'll figure it out.)

A Passion Project

We still have day jobs. We still write code for other people's products. But this — this is the thing we build because we want it to exist in the world.

We update when we can, travel when work allows, and dream about the day this becomes something more than two friends maintaining a site between trips. Until then, we're happy to share what we've found with anyone curious enough to look.

See you out there,
