We’re Back! Here’s Why We Disappear During the Holidays (And Why You Should Too!)
We’re back, baby! 🎉 After a whirlwind holiday season filled with family time, big milestones, and well-earned celebrations, we’re finally settling back into travel blogging mode. It’s been a fun ride, and now we’re ready to hit the ground running!
Where Have We Been?
The past couple of months have been nothing short of amazing. Here’s a quick life update:
🎓 Kelly officially finished her Ph.D.! After years of hard work, research, and writing, it’s finally DONE. (Cue the confetti! 🎉)
🎂 We celebrated birthdays together! Because what’s better than cake, travel, and quality time with loved ones?
🎄 We soaked up the holiday magic with family. The holiday season is always a special time, and we made sure to slow down, unplug, and truly enjoy it.
Why We Always Disappear During the Holidays
If you’ve been following us for a while, you might have noticed that we tend to go a bit off-grid around the holidays. Why? Because everyone is traveling during peak season, and that’s exactly when we prefer to take a step back. Instead of fighting the holiday crowds and overpaying for flights and hotels, we like to wait for the off-season—when travel is cheaper, easier, and way more enjoyable.
Why Off-Season Travel Is the Best
If you’ve never tried off-season travel, here are three big reasons why it might just change your entire travel game:
1. Cheaper Flights & Hotels 💸
Prices skyrocket during peak holiday travel, but once January hits? Massive price drops. Flights, accommodations, and even activities can be 50% cheaper in the off-season. That means more money for extra adventures (or saving up for the next trip).
2. Fewer Crowds, More Fun 🏝️
Ever tried exploring a city when it’s packed with tourists? Not fun. Off-season means empty beaches, shorter lines, and a more relaxed experience. Imagine strolling through European streets without bumping into a tour group every five seconds—yes, please!
3. Better Local Experiences 🌎
When you travel off-season, you get a more authentic feel for a destination. Locals aren’t overwhelmed by tourists, restaurants aren’t rushing through service, and you get to experience a place how it’s meant to be enjoyed.
