What kind of traveller are you?

What kind of traveller are you?

1. Going on holidays is more often:
By plane: the further away the better to really disconnect. After all you only have a week of holiday
By train or boat: the travel is part of the holiday experience and you like to take your time. Being on holiday is a state of mind
By car: you stay within the UK. It’s easier and less expensive
2. While choosing a holiday with a travel agent, you are more likely to opt for:
A credible and reliable agency. You check out their results, reputation and customer feedback
A complete package. You choose a travel agent that looks after everything as you don’t have the time to do it all
A themed offer. You look for a group that can guarantee you an innovative and unknown experience
3. What’s the last thing you do before leaving home to go on holiday:
You leave a thank you note for the neighbour who’ll be coming over to water your plants
Verify that all the electrical appliances are turned off and that nothing is left on standby mode
Nothing! You are always in a mad last-minute rush
4. Your ‘ideal’ holiday would be in what type of accommodation:
A charming bed and breakfast. You enjoy meeting and spending time with other people. It’s more fun
A club resort. The children are kept well occupied, so you only need to think about yourself
The open air (camping, trekking, etc). You like to change your habits and get back to simple living
5. What is your preferred choice for eating during your holiday?
Small, and often unremarkable looking, local eateries. You like to discover local authentic cuisine
Quality restaurants mentioned in a reputed travel guide. That way there’s no unpleasant surprises
Cooking for yourself with local produce. Even while on holiday you enjoy cooking
6. You decide to go for a day trip. How do you organise it?
You explore a nearby village in the company of newly made friends
You contact an official guide to show you the local wildlife
You stay close to the hotel. Being on vacation is for relaxing, not racing around
7. While on holiday, you prefer:
Cultural and culinary discoveries… A guarantee of authenticity for you
Excitement and thrills. Jet ski, water skiing, 4-wheel drives through the sand dunes… Making the most of every minute
Calm and solitude… Taking care of yourself and recharging your batteries
8. Before returning home after your holiday , what’s the last thing you do?
You visit the local shops. You make the most to take a last look at the local handicrafts
You take a couple last photos. Your best memories are already firmly fixed in your mind
You stock up on souvenirs at the airport as you preferred to relax until the last minute.
