<\/p>\nWhen you are traveling with family or friends, you’re bound to run into a lot of different\u00a0personalities. \u00a0Sometimes\u00a0that can make for a great trip, and other times, it can make for a challenge. \u00a0At first glance, you might think I was inspired by Plush Adventures when writing this post, but alas, these images were the only \u00a0ones that captured what I was trying to get across and were part of my clip art subscription. \u00a0(Sorry Plush Adventures)<\/p>\n
In December I took a vacation with two friends who I’d never traveled with before. You never quite know what you’re going to get when you travel with friends (or family for that matter) and this was no exception. \u00a0Each of us, including me, had our own unique personalities and quirks. \u00a0So what’s your travel personality?<\/p>\n

The planner has every single part of the trip planned within a plus or minus 5 minute time frame. \u00a0From arrival to departure, the planner knows exactly what he\/she will be doing on ever step of the trip. \u00a0It can be especially hard to travel with this type of traveler if you’re not on the same page. \u00a0 Luckily, I didn’t have a planner on my recent vacation trip!<\/p>\n

The lazy traveler, which could actually describe me, has no plans and like to move at their own pace. \u00a0They can be spontaneous, easy going and\u00a0typically\u00a0don’t travel well with the Planner Personality. \u00a0In my case, I don’t like to set alarms, I like to find things as I go, discover things along the way without having a set plan. \u00a0I think this is my vacation style because my day-to-day life is very planned. \u00a0One of the other girls I traveled with on this vacation had a very similar travel personality, which was great, because we never got into arguments about being late, or needing to do or see something…but you have to be careful,\u00a0because\u00a0it also means you could miss out if no one takes charge (we didn’t miss out though, our third traveler made sure of that!)<\/p>\n

No one likes the grumpy traveler! Now, I’m not talking about one off day, I’m talking about that person who is never, ever happy. \u00a0No matter what you do, they find something to complain about. No matter where you are, they find something wrong with it. This travel personality will never be happy and in my own opinion, unless you’re a saint, you should avoid travel with this type of\u00a0personality (unless their a blood relative and you have no other choice).<\/p>\n

This type of travel personality can be a good one, or a bad one. \u00a0It really depends \u00a0on your own personality and what you can put up with. \u00a0This person knows everything about everything and has a fact for every figure. \u00a0You could be sitting on the sand and he\/she would know some obscure fact about the specific type of sand – and he’ll share it! (I happen to know someone like this – luckily he balances it with many other\u00a0personality types, so he’s okay to travel with)<\/p>\n

This traveler has the perfect outfit, the perfect pair of shoes, the perfect look for just about every situation you might encounter on your adventure. It also probably means a large suitcase(s) and a lot of prep time before the polished traveler can get on their way. \u00a0This personality won’t go out without making sure every hair is in place and they’ve looked in the mirror twice (or three times depending on the travel destination!) \u00a0This person might not be the most fun to travel with if you’re low key and quick!<\/p>\n

Okay,\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0clip art subscriptions don’t always have the perfect Smurf images! I couldn’t find a Smurf with an overpacked suitcase or a kitchen sink. So this one will have to do for the Kitchen Sink Traveler. \u00a0This person has everything they could ever need packed along with them. \u00a0They\u00a0usually\u00a0show up with way more than 1 suitcase filled with everything from first aid supplies (which are handy) to things they’ll likely never unpack. \u00a0 This travel personality is also usually the one who will stop in every knick-knack shop to pick up\u00a0souvenirs\u00a0they’ll just pack away once they get home. \u00a0Aside from dragging you into every store along the way, this type of personality is usually pretty easy to travel with – so long as they carry their own luggage!<\/p>\n
