Have you ever wondered what booking up a holiday can reveal about you, apart from the fact you probably needed one? Read on to find out what your vacation preference says about your personality?
A beach holiday
Beach lovers seek a laidback life. They prefer the casual over the ceremonial and like the simple pleasures that beach-based holidays provide. They also find it empowering being immersed – quite literally – in nature, and see any time spent on the coast as a much-needed energy recharge.
Solo backpacking
Solo backpackers are independent creatures. They could be shy and reserved on the outside, but they have a quiet inner confidence that drives them on and leads them to various adventures. They look on their alone time as a chance for self-reflection and growth, so they are often very spiritual souls.
A mountain vacation
If the mountains are calling you, you’re likely to be in awe of the majesty and profoundness of nature. The kind of folk magnetised by mountains feel compelled to escape the everyday and lose themselves in something much bigger. There’s an adrenalin junkie inside them, so any activity that allows them to express that side can only be therapeutic for them, whether that’s rock-climbing their way to the summit or simply revelling in the thrill of the sheer vastness of it all.
A city break
Those that would select a city break prefer variety in life. They know cities can offer the best of both worlds – one minute you’re on a crowded subway, the next you’re in the tranquil surroundings of a spa – so they feel confident they won’t get bored there. Cities appeals to the curious side of their nature, providing numerous opportunities for people watching to keep them entertained. They also enjoy the challenge of getting around a city, while reassured by the knowledge that there are creature comforts at hand.
A cultural tour
Cultural tours are for the intellectual vacationer. Anyone that thumps the tub for a trip centred around culture has a need for mental stimulation. Culture vultures are information gatherers, hoovering up facts wherever they go and taking home historical or cultural details as if they were boxed souvenirs. At the heart of all this is an interest in the world around them, and they regard any chance to learn more about that world as a way to celebrate life in all its many forms and colours.
A cruise
People that choose to go on a cruise take pleasure in living the high life. They’re happy to give the reins to someone else while they focus on indulging themselves. They know what they want and can see no reason why they shouldn’t have it – at least once in a while. Life, for them, is too short for any unnecessary obstacles or challenges, and the more uncomplicated life is, the better, as far as they’re concerned.
Camping
Campers like getting back to basics. These down-to-earth types tend to be as practical as they are spiritual and are quite willing to rough it if it brings them closer to nature. Hearing the birds chirping in the morning or feeling the grass under their feet puts them back together again so they leave the experience feeling connected and grounded – something that’s very important to them.
Motorhoming
Motorhoming represents the ultimate freedom, and those happy with this kind of holiday are free spirits at heart. They resent the thought of being tied down, preferring the flexibility of being able to do things on the spur of the moment. They’re also adventurous sorts who are keen to go wherever the road may take them, and they’re versatile enough to adapt to the changing landscape they drive through, with an inner strength and resilience that stands them in good stead in life.
So how accurate would you say that was? Close to home or miles out?
