Introduction

Travel is a way of seeing the world and exploring our differences on this planet. The beauty and nature of this world are rich in flavor, color, and monuments are there for the pleasure of our eyes.

Every human being has a different vision of what is looking for with a travel. Some want to discover gastronomy, for others, it is to be completely disoriented in an environment out of the ordinary.

It is important to know who you truly are, this will determine how to organize your next trip. You need to keep in mind that the ultimate goal of a trip is to experience an enriching and enjoyable experience.

On our beautiful planet earth

The earth is a grain of sand in the immensity of the universe, but in spite of this, it includes a panoply of countries and majestic place to visit. Can you imagine for a moment, more than 200 countries exist here on our globe!

Here are the typical types of travelers encountered:

• Backpack traveler

The backpacker is the low budget and minimalist type. He carries all his stuff in a backpack. You will often cross them with a bag in the front and another in their back. What I have noticed, South America is a place of predilection for them.

Moreover, this type of traveler loves the great outdoors and natural spaces. He will use local transportation and reside in youth hostels. He often seeks to save, so being able to cook his own food is a must. Visiting local markets and interacting with local people are essential to the success of his journey.

• The traveler who wants to see everything

This is my profile, thanks to my traveling girlfriend who has that inscribed in her genetic code. What is cool is that the experience shared between the fusion of two human beings. Being a couple, one of the benefits is that food and accommodation are shared throughout the travel.

Basically, this profile will pay for a little more comfort; it will favor 3-star minimum hotel or charming inns. Travel normally with a backpack and a small suitcase, because he does not want to forget anything essential. Also, privileges the local transport to be in contact with the people of the country.They love trying local specialties and visit a good restaurant in the evening. Organized but able to adapt, he can decide to stay longer in a city or remove one from his itinerary if needed. Wants to see everything, but knows how to take time to appreciate the atmosphere.

• The all-inclusive traveler

This profile represents people who do not want to plan anything. He gets up without having to think. Everything is already taken care of and planned in advance.

This type of traveler will love short trips as an all-inclusive stay in the south. He especially seeks to recharge his batteries and relax.

• The zero stress traveler

They are often people who have worked all their lives very hard and are now retired. They seek to discover the gastronomy and culture of other countries. This type of traveler loves to be told what to do and likes to have a schedule set in advance. He will usually go through a travel agency that will organize everything.

He travels with a group and a guide. Often travels by bus from one tourist site to another with his guide who shakes a pennant.

This type of traveler is more inclined to spend more for some luxury. He often has a good financial means. What is characteristic of this type is that it often takes a lot of time and often goes away several weeks.

• The traveler who is looking for thrills

The guy who will climb the Cordillera of the Andes or surf on a 3 meters wave in Nazare. It is a type that costs a little more because he often has to have a guide, good insurance, and specific equipment.

He is a traveler who loves great outdoors and adrenaline. He loves to sleep under the stars, admire a chain of mountains or a fall in the immensity of the jungle under the gaze of thousands of birds!

It is a traveler who is stimulated by adrenaline and goosebumps. He likes hard-to-reach places and the bigger the difficulty, the more successful his journey will be.

• The nomad and digital traveler

The world of technology has made a new generation of workers. The one that can work anywhere on the planet with only a laptop and an internet connection. This type of traveler likes to visit countries and work at the same time.

This traveler profile is young, often single and childless. He seeks to discover the world, the richness of cultures and gastronomy in all its flavors. He is often minimalist and not looking for a fixed home but wants to save on costs.

• The broken traveler

The traveler who wants to see the world, but does not have the budget to make it happen. He often trades services for accommodation, food or transportation. This profile never knows how he’s going to get to another city or when he’s going to get there. He knows only the date of his departure. He is not organized and will go where life will lead him. His trip will end when he will decide that he add enough.
