What type of traveller are you?

Ever wonder why some people wing it with nothing but a passport and a dream…while others (hi, me 👋) arrive with a colour-coded itinerary and dinner reservations already confirmed (me…again!)?

Knowing your travel personality isn’t just fun – it can actually make your trips smoother, more enjoyable, and more you. Whether you’re a last-minute adventurer or a meticulous planner, understanding your travel style helps you choose better destinations, avoid travel stress, and find the perfect balance between spontaneity and structure.

So… let’s find out:

I love seeing how different travel personalities approach the same destination. It’s like each trip has endless possibilities depending on who’s holding the map (or the spreadsheet 😅).

So now I’m curious:

  • What type of traveller are you?
  • Have you ever mixed it up – gone full Type A on one trip, and totally spontaneous on another?
  • Would you try a solo adventure with some organised elements like I did in Sicily?

👇 Let me know in the comments or send me a message. I’d genuinely love to hear about your style and maybe steal some tips from it!

Until next trip – happy planning (or not)! ✈️🗺️🍷
