I always find a good reasons to travel. The weird thing about me would be to find some excuse to avoid it.
But, everything has to be said and when the autumn begins almost everyone gets a nostalgic face while they remember what summer was like. And I understand it since summer days seem to be endless, the climate and the attitude is of eternal feast.
The autumn months
But, the autumn months (months of September, October and November in the northern hemisphere and March, April and May in the southern hemisphere) are also a very good option when concerned about a vacation or short break. As a matter of fact, there are many benefits in this season!
Let’s start with the fact that there are better prices. As it is low season in many places, the trip can be much cheaper.
Then, airline tickets and hotel or lodging in general go down a lot. Which, according to my perspective, is quite nice since I can spend that money on something else or just not spend it.
On the other hand, in the months of September and October less amount of people tend to travel. This means that it is easier to choose the specific days you want to be in the desiered destination.
Holidays are quieter
The holidays are quieter. During August, almost all places are crowded and its akmost imposible to move around. But in September you can breathe tranquility and even placidly. The beaches are free to enjoy them almost in solitude. Museums have a lower number of visits, which means fewer lines and less tumult of people.
The weather is more pleasant since it usually does not get cold or hot, so you’ll gain comfort.
Another point in favor are the beautiful landscapes full of autumnal colors that are greatly enjoyed.
And, this is one of the things that I really like about autumn: its colors. If there is something nice, it is to walk through a forest and see the different shades of reds, oranges and yellows of the trees at this time.
Walking through streets and bridges that are covered by ojas brown, green and purple is a delight. See how they change the leaves of the trees in front of your eyes is an image that marks.
As it is not high season, people who work in the tourism sector are a little less overwhelmed. For this reason, in my opinion, the attention you receive will be calmer and better.
Cultural options
Although it is hard to believe, it is a season that offers many festivals and cultural options. Some of them are: Oktoberfest in Germany, London Fashion Week, Halloween and Día de los Muertos.
Some other examples of celbraciones are: wine festivals are celebrated in all the wine regions. The most important one is Neucastel, which takes place during three days at the end of September.
Central Switzerland, are famous for their thanksgiving festivities known as alpine or pastoral fairs, which take place on the third Sunday of October.
In Thailand there is the celebration of Loi Krathong. Basically it is rice paper on a light bamboo structure and inside there is a lamp that heats the air inside, causing the lantern to rise.
In the United Kingdom it is celebrated on November 5th, it is sung: “Remember, remember, the 5th of November, The Gunpowder Treason and plot”. (Remember, remember, November 5 / The betrayal of gunpowder and the plot).
In many cities and towns of the United Kingdom is remembered the failed plot of November 1605, known as the conspiracy of gunpowder, when a group of 12 Catholics, led by Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British Parliament and assassinate King James I.
In any case, as at any time of the year, it is important and necessary to choose the perfect adventure companion. There are friends who, when they travel, go from being a cuddly bear to something similar to a wet gremlin. In case you do not find an ideal travel companion, it is always possible to travel alone.
Ok, a key point is to pack the suitcase. In addition to putting summer clothes, you can not forget articles and articles of halftime.
Of course there are also disadvantages, if you want to look like this. I’m going to name some of them.
The days are shorter. In some ways, for many, they are sad days.
Many places that live on tourism, offer less amount of services. It is also likely that there are fewer restaurants and cafes, ice cream shops and businesses dedicated to leisure. But it really depends on the destination.
Concluding
Autumn is the time for oranges, pomegranates, pumpkins. It is time to make plans, changes and, why not, news and improvements.
In conclusion, I say that traveling is living! And, it’s true I like to write about travel in order to help other people when visiting the places that have amazed me, I recognize that what fills me the most is the inspiring writing. But the best thing is to create in someone the emotion, the longing, the need to travel in search of adventures or to get out of the routine and throwing oneself into the unknown.
