Which Type of Traveler Are You?

If there’s one thing you quickly realize when you start galloping around the world, it’s that not all travelers are created equal. And that’s a good thing, because if they were, traveling would probably be a lot more boring and lacking in variety.

Travelers come in all shapes and colors and they naturally gravitate towards the people they identify with. Sometimes, it might take a few trips for you to really find your tribe, but even when you think you found who you are, you can change in the future!

There comes a time when a traveler feels like defining themselves. So, which type of traveler are you?

1. The Adventurer

Adventurers are always looking for new challenges; they rarely stand still as they’re always part of some exciting mission. They usually avoid the obvious sites and attractions, and tend to be the true off-the-beaten-track travelers.

Why take the train to Machu Picchu if you can explore the Inca Trail? Why spend time in a museum when you can paraglide over the city? Why eat the same food all the time if you can try so many different flavors? If it’s not new, interesting, and at least a bit challenging, it’s not for them!
