What Kind of Traveller Are You? 6 Fun Travel Personality Types to Discover
Travelling isn’t just about going from point A to B. It’s a whole vibe—a mix of excitement, chaos, and discovery. Some people fly across continents to experience new cultures, while others prefer a weekend getaway with a fanny pack and an epic playlist. Whether you’re someone who thrives on last-minute plans or meticulously planned itineraries, one thing’s for sure: there’s a type of traveller in all of us.
Curious to know where you fit in? Let’s take a fun tour through the six travel personality types. Maybe you’ll find a little bit of yourself in each one (or spot your friends along the way).

The Adventure Junkie – “Where’s the nearest cliff I can jump off?”
For you, a vacation without an adrenaline rush is just a nap in a new location. Bungee jumping, skydiving, white-water rafting—if it’s extreme, you’re there. You love telling stories that start with, “So there I was, hanging off a cliff…” while your family pretends not to panic – wondering how you made it back in one piece.
But deep down, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Places like Koh Samui’s hiking trails or the stunning sand dunes of Dubai call your name. The world is indeed your playground!
The Luxury Lounger – “I didn’t come here to suffer.”
Five-star resorts, spa treatments, infinity pools, and room service that arrives before you even blink? Yes, please. While others climb mountains, you prefer lounging poolside with a drink that has at least one tiny umbrella in it. You believe travel is a chance to relax and recharge—no dusty backpacks or hostel bunks for you. Your motto: If you’re going to travel, travel well and in style.
Luxury resorts are your happy place, where every need is met with a smile and a freshly folded towel. You’ve mastered the art of doing absolutely nothing, and you don’t care who knows it. After all, why stress when you can just relax and take sips?
The Cultural Explorer – “Teach me everything about this place.”
When you step into a new destination, it’s not just a trip—it’s a chance to connect with the soul of a place. You’re the traveller who wanders through ancient ruins, chats with locals at markets, and signs up for every cultural tour you can find. Your camera roll? It’s filled with photos of stunning architecture, street food you can’t pronounce, and that one pottery class you couldn’t resist.
You’re curious about the stories behind everything: Why this dish is cooked a certain way. What the murals in a temple represent. Who built that historic bridge centuries ago. From the vibrant souks of Marrakesh to Kyoto’s tranquil shrines, you thrive on learning and growing through cultural travel experiences.
The Budget Backpacker – “How far can I go on this much money?”
You’re the champion of squeezing the most out of every penny. You don’t need fancy resorts or first-class tickets. Give you a cheap flight, a backpack, and a map, and you’re off. Hostels? Lov’ em. Street food? Even better. You don’t mind trading comfort for adventure because, at the end of the day, it’s all about the experience.
Whether it’s Couchsurfing across Europe or finding the cheapest street eats in Southeast Asia, you’ve mastered the art of budget travel hacks. You’re resourceful, adaptable, and always on the lookout for the next big deal.
And guess what? Saving money doesn’t mean compromising on the experience. With QVI Vacay, you can book stays that fit your budget and give you a touch of comfort—a little VIP vibe, just enough to recharge before the next leg of your journey.
The Family Planner – “Everyone in the van, let’s go!”
You are the unsung hero of family vacations. It’s not easy planning trips that please everyone from the restless kids to the opinionated grandparents, but somehow, you make it work. Snacks? Packed. Itinerary? Ready. Entertainment for the long car ride? You’ve got a playlist and a tablet loaded with movies.
You believe family travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the memories made along the way. Whether it’s a short trip to Kuala Lumpur or a longer getaway at a cosy resort, you live for those priceless moments: kids squealing at the pool, shared laughter over dinner, and even the occasional chaos of a missed bus or wrong turn.
The Business Nomad – “Work hard, travel harder.”
You’ve perfected the art of blending work and travel. For you, the world is your office, whether it’s taking a Zoom call with a view of the Alps or editing spreadsheets from a beachfront café. A stable Wi-Fi connection is your lifeline, and you know how to juggle deadlines while exploring a new city on your lunch break.
You’re a digital nomad at heart, constantly seeking out places where productivity meets inspiration. Flexible schedules, cosy co-working spaces, and a touch of adventure keep you going. Whether you’re hopping between major cities or finding serenity in quieter retreats, you know how to make every moment count.
So, Which One Are You?
Let’s face it—you probably saw a little bit of yourself in more than one of these types. Maybe you’re the adventurer on solo trips, but turn into the family planner for reunions. Or perhaps you’re all about luxury lounging until the budget kicks in. No shame—travel is all about finding what works for you!
And with QVI, you can book vacations that truly speak your travel persona. Whether it’s using QVI Vacay to enjoy a real traveller’s travel perks, QVI Breaks for those solo or couple quick getaways, or the QVI Club for creating memories with family—you’re definitely not running out of options for your journey.
