What Destination Guides Are Available on Goats On The Road?
Updated
Goats On The Road organizes its destination content into six regional guide hubs — Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, The Caribbean, and The Americas — plus a separate set of digital nomad city guides and practical city-level posts. If you're planning a trip and want to know whether the site covers your region, the answer is likely yes for any of those six areas; the depth within each region varies, and the site is stronger on practical, first-person travel advice than on exhaustive country-by-country coverage.
The Six Regional Guide Hubs
The homepage presents destination guides under a single "Where Do You Want to Go?" section, with these regions listed as entry points:
| Region | What the hub is for |
|---|---|
| Africa | Trip planning and destination guides across the continent |
| Asia | Country and city guides for Asian destinations |
| Europe | Guides covering European countries and cities |
| Middle East | Destination content for the region |
| The Caribbean | Island and country guides |
| The Americas | North, Central, and South America |
Each hub is a starting point rather than a fixed itinerary. The site describes this section as "detailed destination guides," so expect longer-form posts rather than short listicles — though the specific countries covered within each region aren't enumerated on the homepage, so you'll need to open the hub for your region to see what's actually there.
City-Level Practical Guides
Beyond the regional hubs, the blog publishes standalone city posts that answer specific planning questions. Current examples shown on the homepage illustrate the style:
- "Where to Stay in New York City: The 3 Best Boroughs for First-Time Visitors" — a neighborhood-selection guide framed around first-time visitors, useful if your main decision is which borough to base yourself in rather than which hotel to book.
- "What To Do In Barcelona When You've Already Seen The Main Sights" — a second-visit guide, aimed at travelers who've done the obvious attractions and want alternatives.
- "Visiting The Gold Coast Australia: 10 BEST Things To Do" — an activity roundup for a specific coastal destination.
- "Orlando Staycation Guide: for Florida & Georgia Residents" — a regional-resident angle rather than an international tourist one.
The pattern here is worth noting: these guides tend to be scoped to a particular traveler situation (first visit, repeat visit, local resident) rather than trying to cover everything about a city. That makes them efficient if your situation matches, and less useful if it doesn't.
Digital Nomad City Guides
A distinct category sits alongside the regional hubs: "Be a Digital Nomad," described as "detailed city guides to the best destinations for digital nomads. Plus tools and advice for starting out." If your trip is built around working remotely rather than pure sightseeing, this is the more relevant entry point — it combines destination selection with the logistics of earning on the road, which is the site's core theme.
What Else Sits Alongside the Guides
The destination content is part of a broader structure aimed at funding travel. The same navigation offers:
- Plan Your Travels — general trip-planning resources
- Work Remotely — remote job guidance
- House Sit — free accommodation in exchange for home and pet care
- Teach English — TEFL certification and teaching work
- Start Blogging / Grow a Blog — building a blog into a business
For destination research specifically, the regional hubs and city posts are what you want; the rest supports the "earn while traveling" side of the site.
How to Decide If It's the Right Resource for You
Use the regional hubs if you already know where you're going and want planning content for that area. Use the digital nomad city guides if destination choice depends on connectivity, cost of living, and remote-work practicality. Use the individual city posts if your question is narrow — which borough to stay in, what to do on a second visit.
One caveat: the homepage doesn't list which countries or cities fall under each regional hub, and the featured posts rotate. Before relying on the site for a specific destination, open the relevant region and confirm there's a guide for your city or country — coverage is not guaranteed to be uniform across all six regions.
