According to the advice of travel experts, you can choose the spring and autumn as the best time to travel, and is known as the "off season".

For example, traveled in France during the autumn as the ideal season, the trees change color to yellow so it is very beautiful to be recorded in photographic and video equipment, or your smartphone.

4. Relying on a single source of information
