Off the Beaten Path

Q5: What are some off the beaten path spots that have become more mainstream thanks to the Internet and social media? Did you visit them before they became popular? #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A5: #inspiretowander yes the entire country of Portugal. Having grown up there, and having Americans ask me if it's a city in Spain ten years ago, to watching every Instagram star head to Lisbon nowadays is a little surreal.

A5 #InspireToWander The 1 place I could think of & I think it has more to do with @RickSteves making it famous is Cinque Terre in Italy.
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A5. Forks, Washington. Maybe not necessarily because of the internet but because of Twilight that used to be near one of our favorite camping sites and we had to avoid it for a few years because it was overrun with teenage girls lol #InspireToWander
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5. Some people say Iceland (which I've never been to) has become too mainstream. But, based on the photos I've seen, Iceland is a place I desperately want to go. I'm sure there's still lots of off the beaten path places still to visit. #InspireToWander
A5- Boracay in the Philippians is starting to feel the pain of too many visitors. The island recently had to shutdown to deal with the trash. Although I also heard it was partly their own fault #InspireToWander #travelingsession
A5. Montauk was off the beaten path when I was growing up but thanks to the popularity of the internet and the Hamptons, it is now pretty mainstream. Once upon a time, it was a quiet little town. #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A5 Niagara on the lake used to be a lot less well known, now everyone from the area avoids the main street during the summer and on weekends. Good luck finding a parking spot! #inspiretowander
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5 I think probably Croatia, unfortunately #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A5. Girona is one of them. Now the city is getting more crowded. There's a lot of visitors. I had the chance to go when it wasn't with a lot of tourists and is definitely gorgeous, and still is. #InspireToWander
