What sort of traveler are you?

I am a solo traveller my friend, I prefer to travel to countries on my own that way I can do what I like, when I like and have the freedom to roam and enjoy the experience on my own. I prefer to have package tours where I get a nice room in a hotel with en suite as I like my home comforts too much! It may be more expensive but I think when you get to travel it's a life time experience which should be memorable and comfortable. I am not that much of an adventurer, like I won't go into the ocean but I like to explore, like when I went to Rhodes, I got a guided coach tour around the island so that I didn't miss out on anything, plus you get a tour guide as well to tell you all about the island, it's history etc that way you find out much much more than doing it solo.

U have a wonderful life ^_^ I like the way u lived your life and spending your time exploring and around ^_^ how i wish i can be like u too ^_^ YOur thoughts and the things that u have done and experience, are all what i've been wanting to do.. It seems like we think alike ^_^ hehe I'm thinking to back-pack one day ^_^ Walking to all around the world, explore their culture, tasting their lifestyle, sharing their experiences, learning from their attitude as well as get closer to all the natures around me ^_^ That's my dream ^_^ I dun really go for luxury life, i will prefer a simple and rugged life.. hehe ^_^ I find myself more suitable for that kinda life, and i wanna do it ^_^ Glad that u shared your experiences here, and i know that i'm not the only one here ^_^ hehe =D

lols, I am something of a different traveller altogether. I am an ASTRAL TRAVELLER. no expenses, no reservations required. Just travel in your dreams, lols. Goodluck

I am similar to what you are. I love to hang out with locals at the local places. I much prefer bed and breakfast places because you are in homes and get to have the greatest conversations with owners! I am not a camper or outdoors person as you are though, but have traveled quite extensively over the years, and loved every minute of it. Such wonderful memories and interesting people and places!! PS I LOVE castles, aren't they the greatest! I even staying in an old church that was rented to travelers in Europe once. Wonderful!

I am very fond of travelling and i like to travell with friends on a long drive on a bike. Long drive with dear friends will be a memorable momennts in life..

I am an independent traveller. I like to arrange everything myself and that way I get exactly the trip I want. A package trip is often cheaper, but I dislike having things arranged for me. I want challenges and I want to solve problems on my own. My first priority is to meet the local people and learn more about the culture. I also like to learn some of the local language. My favourite type of accomodation is B&B. I don't like to live in big fancy hotels with lots of international guests. I want to spend as much time with the local people as I possibly can.

We don't travel out of the country much. But when my husband and I want to go on vacation, we like to take long walks and/or rent a car to drive around town and watch the scenery when we do arrive. We both like to experience the native feeling of being around locales from doing regular things like washing our laundry to eating at a local restaurant to seeing how diverse the place is with business and such. We both enjoy it better if we can quietly blend in and go when we want. We're happy with ample accommodations like water, electricity and a bed to sleep, most preferably a kitchen to cook. A motel is fine since we pack light and don't really carry much.

i do not like to have an agenda when i travel. i like an idea of what i want to see and do buti do not want a schedule as vacations are supposed to be relaxing. i also do not fly so i have to drive wherever it is i am going. to be honest we are not going to be traveling much any time in the near future as we just cannot afford it. we are trying to pay off our credit cards so we will not use them for travel as we have in the past.

I am a dream traveller .....lol.....yes Happy Mylotting ! Take Care ! Ganesh !

To be very frank I love travelling myself and getting new adventures but off late I love travelling with my son as I feel he is very adventorous and when he is with his dad he has more fun. Regards

Wow that's some pretty crazy traveling you've done. I've only stayed on cruises, and in fancy resorts or hotels. I guess i like the comfort of knowing that there's a security blanket around my stuff while i'm exploring wherever i may be. It's not that i don't trust the locals of wherever i am but my stuff is my stuff and i want to keep it that way. I've had way too much stuff stolen from me in the past i guess. I would love to do that kind of thing though because it sounds very intriguing.

regular traveller... every couple of months for sure , i visit a friend or an old collegue mate just to break the flow of the normal work days :)

Well, to be honest, i have NEVER EVER traveled overseas. I either never had the time or never had the money.

i am not a big explorer. i usually go some where where its warm and just relax go to beach and so on.I went usually in some trips like on see or something but not really intrested about history maybe more nature

Package tourist due to not much money and my never-ending ability to get lost. But I like history, culture, meeting the local people,and culture. I like water, festivals, food, dancing, Music, demonstrations of fighting styles as long as not full contactor or head protection-no one gets killed. Temples, tipis (teepees), pow wows and gathering plants for food. I like restaurants, orchards, etc. I have not been to a cheese plant and would like to. I have not been where they make perfume (not sure if I would be alright or not due to allergies), but I think I would like to. I also like swimming, canoeing and islands. I loved Alaska, food, Tlingit (pronounced kling git) dancing, Russian Dancing, Tlingit cook out with salmon. Also saw a traditional home. Berries grow really, really big up there. I would like to go to Hawaii. Hawaiian dances, food, luaus, their boats, swimming. Lots of islands, one produces pineapple and I love pineapple.

I am a package tourist. Maybe because we always have the kids with us. Everything must be in order. If abroad,a travel agency takes care ofthe accomodation like when we went to Bangkok,Singapore,Malaysia,Hongkong-in Indonesia,we stayed with my sister in law.but we dont go for the tour unless it is really practical. Most of the time we go around on our own except when it is very expensive to go to a place alone or by fours. We But if we go around the Philippines,my husband usually had previously been there so more or less he had checked the accomodation. There are times too that we just try to explore,like when we went to Bohol and Camiguin Island. It was hard though with the kids. We had to look for a nice place with good airconditioner and toilets,so we ended up in hotels.expensive. we never tried staying in guest houses.I will consider trying.I think in Boracay,residents there offer their houses to tourists for reasonable price. I prefer to stay in a nice hotel there,so I could enjoy to the fullest without having to deal with the landlords. My sister and her family have been all over Europe and USA,they have started using their time share so accomodation is very easy. The time share we got can still be used in 2 years since we got the deferred payment plan.We were given free accomodations though in Bali. My sister and her family stayed in a castle too somewhere which was converted to a bed and breakfast.it was really very cool. They got scared and hold on to the kids all through out the night,they cant help thinking that a ghost might take the kids away.LOL I would love to stay in tree houses.but I dont think my husband could climb.LOL.

I guess Im independant as well. I like a little of everything. I think I'd fit a lot of words, like I am the Poor Traveler who travels on a budget. I am the lazy traveler who likes to go at my own pace. I am spontaneous traveler who likes a good adventure, and now I am a Mommy Traveler, who has to go on a toddlers time table. Thanks for starting this discussion and happy mylotting.

I like to travel whether it's independent, package tourist or adventurer. I like to travel with my family. Our interests vary, from history, culture and beaches. We love to go to the beaches but we love to try out others too. I would love to stay in huts for a different experience from staying in hotels.
