Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head off to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But during the summer months, you'll find that Europe is really popular. You may not get the ideal weather, but you'll generally get better rates and avoid the crowds.
