✨ *Learn the Lingo: High, Shoulder & Low Seasons!* ✨

Ever wonder why some trips feel effortlessly magical, while others seem too crowded or a little too quiet? It’s all about *timing*! Here’s the inside scoop on these key travel terms:

🌟 **High Season**: Think postcard-perfect weather, vibrant energy, and bustling destinations. This is the *busiest* time of year when places are at their peak—ideal for festivals, outdoor activities, and prime sightseeing. But keep in mind, demand and prices will be at their highest, so planning ahead is key!

🍂 **Shoulder Season**: The *hidden gem* of travel timing! Falling right before or after high season, shoulder season offers a wonderful balance of fewer crowds, lower prices, and *usually* still-great weather. Many destinations shine in these months—spring and fall in Europe, for example, bring mild temperatures, blooming flowers, and golden foliage. Shoulder season is perfect for those who want to explore at a relaxed pace while still soaking in the destination’s charm. Bonus? Flights and accommodations often come with *wallet-friendly* deals!

❄️ **Low Season**: The most peaceful time to travel. While the weather might not be at its best, low season offers unbeatable prices, quiet attractions, and an authentic, laid-back vibe. It’s ideal for off-the-beaten-path adventures and soaking in local culture without the crowds.

✨ Unsure which season matches your travel dreams? That’s where we come in! From vibrant high-season hotspots to the cozy calm of low season—and everything in between—we’ll help you find your perfect timing. Share your dream destination in the comments, and let’s start planning your next adventure! 🌎✈️

✨ Learn the Lingo: Site Inspections! ✨

When planning your perfect getaway, we leave no stone unturned—quite literally! Site inspections allow us to personally explore hotels, resorts, and unique venues, evaluating everything from room comfort and amenities to service quality and on-site activities. For example, Emma recently visited a resort in Cancun. Not only did she experience her own room category, but she also toured all other room types to get a full view of the options available. These first-hand insights help us handpick the best recommendations tailored to your tastes and needs. So when we suggest a destination, it’s with full confidence that it meets our standards—and yours.

✨On-sites/DMCs✨

Have you ever wondered how travel agents arrange those perfectly tailored experiences halfway around the world? It’s all thanks to our trusted partners: Onsites and DMCs! We often use these terms interchangeably, as both refer to local experts who work directly with us to create unforgettable travel experiences.

These partners, also known as Destination Management Companies (DMCs), are based in your travel destination and specialize in organizing ground services like guided tours, transportation, and special event planning. They know every nook and cranny of the area, from hidden gems to the latest happenings, and are masters at making sure every detail is flawless. Plus, they offer direct support right there in the location to handle any immediate issues.

While you can always reach Candace and Emma, it’s a huge advantage to have assistance in the same time zone. This means faster solutions and greater peace of mind during your travels.

🫶Why We Love Them🫶

Having these connections means we can offer you more authentic, customized trips. You get insider access, seamless coordination, and the comfort of knowing local experts are there to help.

Meet Candace, Louisville Outbound's owner and lead luxury travel advisor!

Her love for travel sparked during a high school exchange trip to Germany from her hometown of Cincinnati. A few years later, she moved to a cozy town south of Munich, where she met her husband, Patrick, from Louisville. She explored Europe, Morocco, and Thailand. After returning to the U.S., Candace found a travel job in Louisville, where she and Patrick now call home.

Since then, she’s journeyed to Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska, Canada, and more, but a Danube River cruise ending in Germany remains a top highlight! When she’s not jet-setting, Candace enjoys quality time with family, friends, and her pets. Catch her hiking, kayaking, or enjoying a local concert—and you’ll definitely see her around Louisville, savoring her favorite food spots! 🌟🚀🍽️

🔔Emma Wade changed her status to “feeling touristy” 📸

Staying in house for this one! My family and I explored New York City over Fourth of July weekend 🎆 We took the weekend to explore The Met, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, support local businesses at a flea market in Dumbo, catch an Off Broadway show, and take on Times Square!

From the excitement of Times Square to the mellow vibes of Dumbo, this trip had something for all of us! Nothing could stop us from taking on NYC, even getting lost in the subway….🤭

For those wondering, “The Play That Goes Wrong” was a 12/10!
