This Is How We Wander
About Off Path On Purpose
Around here, we choose charming bookstores over booming beach clubs, and slow meandering days over impossibly-packed itineraries.
We choose quality goosebumps over crowded group tours, and cozy hidden gems over waiting hours in the sun for a selfie.
We choose today over “one day” and freedom over fear.
And sometimes, we choose our safe foods while abroad.
And that’s ok.
Because people like us…the introverts, the sensitive ones, the totally burned-out…
We don’t want to barely survive a trip, or return more exhausted than when we left…
We want to feel the places we land in. To wonder and to marvel.
To experience the kind of freedom that settles in our bones, rewires our brains, and stays with us long after our bags are unpacked.
And that’s exactly why Off Path On Purpose exists.
We were never meant to follow someone else’s map.
So now we’re charting our own damn course.
Hi, I’m Cass
(Founder of Off Path on Purpose)
It was the moment I’d been taught to glorify my entire life…
I was being considered for partnership at my law firm. The holy grail of lawyer-life. The ultimate success.
The catch: More responsibility. Being on call 24/7.
The context: I’d recently started trying to clock out by 7pm in an effort to reduce my stress amidst such trivial life events as an ongoing divorce and my mom getting diagnosed with cancer…and that apparently just wasn’t going to cut it for a prestigious law partner.
Somehow, instead of rising to the occasion like the overachieving people-pleaser I was…
I calmly told my law partner “I don’t want that life.”
The next couple weeks were the opposite of calm. What had I done?!
I still had over $100,000 in law school loans and NO backup plan to speak of.
But little did I know, that brief moment of courage was the portal to my new life.
Because that same partner I’d said no to? She soon sent me a job opportunity to work with one of our firm’s clients…completely remote, and with a set 9-5 schedule.
After taking the new job, I could finally do what I’d never thought was possible with only 2 weeks of PTO: travel somewhere long-term.
So I moved to Costa Rica and closed deals from a hammock. I danced on the beach, learned to surf and salsa, and became fluent in Spanish. I watched the sun set over the Pacific coast, and cried with joy as thousands of freshly-hatched baby sea turtles made their way into the ocean for the first time.
I remembered what it’s like to feel alive again.
And that’s when the deeper shift began. Because spending time traveling, away from everything I’d been programmed to believe was “right,” was exactly what I needed to figure out what’s right for me.
So I started choosing myself. Not just when it was easy, but when it was terrifying.
I sold my jewelry and designer bags to pay rent abroad, save, and invest.
I spent hundreds of hours learning how to use credit card points to travel in comfort for less than the price of economy.
I spent thousands to train in copywriting, digital marketing, and content creation…and eventually resigned from law to start my own travel business.
I gave up a traditional full-time home so I could travel full-time instead, allowing me to spend months at a time in places like Bali, Portugal, and Thailand.
And each choice led me closer to freedom…not just of location, but of life.
Eventually, I understood why that old life never worked for me…
Turns out I wasn’t lazy or broken. I’m autistic. And I have ADHD. And I’d been trying to survive in a world that wasn’t designed for me.
These days, I get to wake up without an alarm and vibe through my days, genuinely excited to do deeply fulfilling and creative work, with my kind of people. All while slow traveling through tropical beaches around the world.
And the best part is that now I get to help others do the same.
Not just to plan the kind of trips that light you up and remind you who you are…
But to create a life that feels like home, no matter where you go.
Why We’re Here
When you’re not built for the hustle, travel can be a portal to the life that’s actually meant for you…but only if you go your own way.
All our lives, we’re told to “just push through”, to suck it up and be grateful for a decent job, to save our joy for the weekends and our “real lives” for the few waking hours after work.
But let’s be honest…for those of us who are already running on empty, that was never gonna be sustainable.
We’re the ones who need hours (or days) to recover from a happy hour.
Who spiral without enough time alone to just be.
Who struggle to keep up with the “basics” like groceries, showers, and texts.
Who are introverted, burned out, traumatized, neurodivergent, or all of the above.
Who are desperate to reignite the spark that used to make us feel alive.
Off Path On Purpose is the way back to that spark.
Not through bucket-list pressure or country-counting glorification, but through aligned travel designed to elicit breakthroughs instead of breakdowns.
Think sensory-friendly itineraries that leave space for rest and whimsy. Tips for flying comfortably in business class for less than the price of economy. Support for going solo (our favorite travel hack of all).
We believe travel isn’t a detour from real life…it’s a return to who you really are.
And the right kind of travel doesn’t just help you escape the grind…it helps you reimagine what’s possible, and create a life you don’t need a vacation from.
