Travel Tip Tuesday...

I love travelling - so I decided to do my own special weekly post (or I'll try to keep it weekly). Tips may be funny, they may be common sense or they may seem unimportant, or maybe slightly useful, but there will be a tip none-the-less :)

Travel Tip: When travelling abroad (or even if it's just a long distance) do a little research about whether it is high or low travel season. If you are like me and don't care for crazy line-ups at attractions or streets PACKED with tourists, check and see when their low season is. If you think low season is only when the weather is cold, think again - very often the beginning or end of low season is a GREAT time to travel weather wise, and you can avoid the majority of tourists and most of the time prices are CHEAPER!!! It can be a good idea to also check out if there are major holidays (like spring break) happening at the time you want to go (unless you want that kind of atmosphere) and remember that not everyone has spring break at the same time!
