Want to avoid mosquitoes? Travel in winter time.
As a kid I had huge problems. The bites would itch and they grow with the scratching. After taking up biking and the camping that comes with it I realized that the sami people were right. Get enough bites early in spring and you are immune for the rest of the year. How much is "enough"? Well, after a camping weekend with the Swedish BMW club in May I could count 200-300 small red dots on one hand. Sounds weird, but when you get that many you just give up scratching and the immune system can't cope with all of them so they don't itch as much as single bites. Just make sure you protect your feet and inside of your legs or you won't do much biking or walking for a few days.
Be prepared to clean your visor a few times a day.
