You may or may not know that Travelers are made up of different categories. This article could help you to identify the people you meet in your sojourn.
You may or may not know that Travelers are made up of different categories. This article could help you to identify the people you meet in your sojourn. To quote Ben Groundwater of the Sydney Morning Herald.
The Doers, arrive with expectations: they line up at the museums to see the important pieces, take the open-topped bus tour around the city to get their bearings, climb all the things that are there to be climbed, see all the things that are supposed to be seen, and, if they do all that, walk away thinking “mission accomplished”.
The Watchers, on the other hand, prefer a less mapped out experience. They’re the kind of traveler who could ‘spend a whole afternoon in one café, sipping coffee after coffee or beer after beer, chatting to people, and watching the city’s life go by’.
The Wanderers, are those with no fixed ideas on what to do, or where to go. There is no real purpose for traveling, it’s just another place in which to do what they want to do at home - hang out, get drunk, and lie in the sun. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Now, which category do you belong or are you some what in the middle?
What type of traveller are you? Reply to this Thanks Mel, you are right on target, because there are travelers who are a little of the three categories. Eric.
Reply to this Ops! Sorry for the mistake (promo link) and thanks for the note, Mel.
Reply to this Definitely a doer. I don't follow a schedule religiously but I do map out what I want to see, visit, and experience. We just got back from a great NON-disney trip to central FL. We had stuff we wanted to do but also lots of time to just ride around, take the back roads, experience the real side of FL.

Reply to this there are certain times that i tend to be a doer, but ended up as wanderer.. hehehe.. view my blog to find out.. ^^ http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/pibisensei/
Reply to this a little bit of all. Usually start the day with doing, museum perhaps, then when i'm finished i could very easy just hang out and drink coffee/beer the rest of the day while i'm watching people/trafic or what ever, unless i'm getting bored, then i tend to wander off in a random direction and see what i will find there 😊
Reply to this There is no "acceptable" or "unacceptable" in the categorization of a traveler. Perhaps, it encourage us to know more of ourselves. Keep it coming, guys.
Reply to this I think I'm a Doer with latent Watcher tendencies.
:o)
