The A to Z Guide to Travelling Sustainably
The wonderful Juliet Kinnsman wrote an outstanding article in Conde Nast Traveller recently with her hacks, apps, and switches to make your escapades more enriching, enlightening, and economical. Here’s what she had to say about low season travelling:
OPT FOR OFF-SEASON TRAVEL
Perks abound with off-peak orbiting: cheaper rates and fewer people, yes, but you’re also not contributing to overtourism. Redistributed travel is the art of visiting under-the-radar or low-season places, and to visit somewhere in a way that is more of a help than a burden. Low Season Traveller, which highlights destinations during their low seasons, and shows you how much better the experience can often be, is a helpful resource for plotting your escapes.

We were delighted (and flattered frankly) to see that our podcast series, Low Season Traveller Insider Guides, was featured in the top 20 travel podcasts of 2022 by the awesome Nomad Flag. Here’s what they had to say:
“Traveling in the off-season (or the low-season) is the wonderful topic of this new magazine and podcast. If you’re interested in learning about travel to destinations when they’re not overrun with tourists, this is for you. It certainly piqued my interest. Packed with plenty of ideas and inspiration for travellers looking to avoid crowds, save money, and see a different side of popular (and not so popular) destinations.”

“HOLIDAY IN THE LOW SEASON

On with the Off season
Travelling in low season offers many benefits, from experiencing the rapture of an unexpectedly sunny day to bagging cheaper deals. “Fair weather travellers will generally pay more,” says Ged Brown, founder of Low Season Traveller (lowseasontraveller.com), “but for those who like to go against the flow, low seasons offer huge rewards.”
Holidaying off-peak is possibly the most sustainable form of travel too, as you’re paying into the local economy when hotels, cafes and attractions need it most: “Those who travel at these times can be assured that their presence and money is even more appreciated,” adds Brown.
