I always try to travel when it's peaceful. If you're like me, you try to skip the peak-season madness (I know, due to school schedule, that's not always possible!). You should plan your trip for September. I find this month to be full of golden light and quiet charm. You’ll enjoy fewer crowds and better prices.
