Off the beaten path doesn't have to mean off the end of the world. It often looks like destinations in travel documentaries are only possible to visit with a camera crew and some significant budget. Too remote, too dangerous or too expensive. Let's break that trend. All the travel docs we're highlighting in this blog are easy to get to, if you want. Check out some of our itineraries below, or get in touch with our fabulous travel experts to craft your dream journey.

For the adventurers among us

The Dawn Wall (2017) - Our jaw literally dropped to the floor watching this gripping documentary following the rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson as they attempt to free climb the seemingly impossible 3,000-foot Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Even if you might not be a professional rock climber, visiting Yosemite is also a lot of fun without actually reaching the top of El Capitan.

For the lovers of less ordinary travel

Love to go off the beaten path? So does British comedian Romesh Ranganathan, and in ''The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan" he'll take you with him to various countries (like Haiti, Ethiopia, and Colombia) to explore the unconventional and lesser-known sides of travel and tourism. Romesh adds amusing commentary, resulting in a peculiar but entertaining mix that does right to the places he visits. It never really steps into the pitfall of judging third world countries by Western standards, but instead tries to show unusual destinations and experiences in a more authentic way. Sort of like what we aim for as well!

For the foodie travellers

Don't watch this one if you've already got the munchies! The Netflix-produced "Street Food" (2019-present) - is one big celebration of street food culture in several Asian cities. It fully honours the local streetfood vendors and their authentic recipes, that are often passed on from generation to generation. You get a great impression of the cultural significance of street food in these countries, and it really makes you want to go travel to taste all of the amazing dishes yourself. Be it India, Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia - we can take you there. Why don't you ask our experts about their favourite street food?

For the lovers of feelgood television

Are you familiar with the concept of slow television? If so, "Expedition Happiness" (2017) fits right in this little subgenre. This travel series documents the journey of an upbeat couple while they're converting an old school bus into a mobile home. As soon as the mobile home is finished, they leave for their grand adventure: a big road trip across North America. You get a taste of the stunning landscapes and their many personal insights along the way. It's a great blueprint to use for your own road trip across the States, but also some lovely inspiration for those of us looking for a different way of life but not sure how to start out.

Pedal the World" (2015) - This one is about an impressive biking journey. We're following Felix Starck while he bikes around the world, visiting 22 countries and sharing his experiences with all the different people and cultures he meets on his trip. He doesn't shy away from also documenting the challenges he faces, and the cultural differences that sometimes might get in the way. Even if you don't plan to solo travel by bike, it's a great piece of insight in how to deal with whatever you encounter when travelling on your own.
