Feel the Unusual, Uncover the Lesser—known

About the Beaten Path Travel Blog

TravelingRauf is a travel blog for curious off the beaten path tourists. It helps you find meaningful trips, while also skipping obvious, touristy places. I will show you the parts of the world you have not seen yet or have seen very little, even on social media or elsewhere online. I will take you to non touristy countries, quiet valleys, caravan stops, and high mountain lakes. Mainly on TravelingRauf, I help you stay and stay safe in these beautiful, less visited countries and cities.

You will also get to learn about visas, local SIM cards, border crossings, cheap transport, and homestays in simple words. I also share what to pack, what to eat, and how to greet people kindly. By choosing less popular places, we help reduce crowds, support local families, and lower tourism waste. You get cleaner air, better prices, and a true connection with the place. Let us discover the undiscovered world together!
