I’m a travel and adventure writer/filmmaker from Cleveland.

Welcome to Without A Path, the place for all things off the beaten path travel, adventure, and experiences around the globe.

I'm Joe Baur, a Berlin-based travel and adventure writer/filmmaker sharing my experiences from Rome to El Salvador and beyond. My work has appeared in BBC Travel, Saveur, National Geographic, ShermansTravel, and I regularly write about trail running culture in different countries for Outside.

I’m also the author of Falcon Guides titles like “Best Hikes Near Cleveland” and I contributed to the Germany guidebook for Fodors Travel. You can see samples of my work here , watch my adventure and trail running films here, and listen to the Travel Tomorrow podcast I co-host on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
