Travel is one of those things that each of us does a little differently. We all head to places that fit our lifestyles and personalities, we find hotels that meet our requirements which are all different and we all get to our destinations differently and on different budgets. And as travelers, we are all different and that’s what makes the world such a great place, that we can each be the type of travelers we want to be. There do tend to be groups of types of travelers though and depending on what type of traveler you are, you might like certain places over others. So today for each type of traveler you are, here are some places you might enjoy!
You love the feel of cities, of buildings rising up around you. You love all that cities have to offer: shopping, restaurants, parks and entertainment. You love a nice hotel, a chic outfit and an afternoon to wander. You love the electric energy of a city and the gathering of lots of different types of people.
You’ll love Paris, London, New York, Seoul, and Dublin.
You love the feel of exploring the unknown, of wandering through temples or empty streets at dawn. You like to travel in cargo pants and a backpack, to mingle with the locals and experience everything a place has to offer.
You’ll love Cambodia, Thailand, India, New Mexico and Morocco.
You love the feel of bare earth beneath your feet, stunning scenery and the sites and sounds of wildlife. You enjoy roaming places without habitation, the bare coast or open ocean or open expanses of land.
You’ll love Iceland, Oregon Coast, Newport RI, Jackson Hole and the San Juan Islands.
You go with the flow, have no plans and enjoy places that have a laid back atmosphere. You love to experience nature or a long evening at a cool restaurant, but you go on your own time. You like a down to earth lifestyle and like places that don’t try too hard.
You’ll love Nice, Southern California and Hawaii.
You love a chic B&B in the middle of nowhere, a fireplace and a cozy blanket to curl up and read a book. You don’t need cell reception or a TV and you’ll spend your days wandering the local towns, drinking tea and mingling with the locals.
You’ll love Northern Ireland, St. Andrews, Edinburgh and Bruges.
You love to get your feet wet with history, wandering among ruins and taking in historical sites. You love guided tours to get your fill of historical facts and wandering the same halls that people wandered years and years ago. You love the stories of a place and what came before.

Haha this post is a good idea! I think I’m a bit of a mix of the explorer, nature lover and cozy-up traveler. Thanks for the destinations 🙂
Casey says
That’s a great mix! 🙂
Kati Rose says
I hadn’t ever thought about this, but it’s totally true that there are different types of travelers. I think which one I am in depends on my travel goals for each city! A chameleon of sorts.
Casey says
I like that idea, that each city’s goals change what type of traveler you are… I think I’m similar!
Margo says
great recommendations and brilliant post!
Casey says
Thanks Margo!
Andrea says
I think I might be a mix of many. Though I’m primarily an explorer 🙂
Casey says
Me too! I’m totally a mix but I think I’m primarily a cosmopolitan!
Olivia says
Definitely a cozy-up traveler! Have you been to Glasgow? I’m looking for cozy-up style suggestions!
Casey says
I’ve not been to Glasgow but I loved Scotland! Scotland is a fabulous country to be a cozy-up traveler 🙂
Bailey K. says
No surprise here, but I’m pretty sure I’m a nature lover. 😉 Although I do enjoy all types of travel at certain times. What do you consider yourself, Casey?
Casey says
I figured that’s the one you would be 🙂 I’m a total mix, but primarily I think I’m a cosmopolitan with pieces of explorer and historian.
Camila says
Great idea for a post! I’m definitely a mix of all of the above! But mainly cozy-up and historian for sure! And the destinations fit as well!
Casey says
Thanks Camila! I’m a mix too 🙂
Eithne on the Moon says
I’d say a mixture between Nature lover and cozy-up 😀 Which is proven by the fact that I loved Bruges and I want to see Iceland as soon as possible!
Casey says
Ahhh love that those places line up with what kind of traveler you are!!! 🙂
Vera says
Oh, I think I could be a mix of all of them as I am a little of everything, but mostly the Cosmopolitan I guess! Wonderful post!
With love,
Vera

Casey says
Me too!!! I think that’s exactly how I would classify myself 🙂
Jenn says
I would definitely be go good mix of a few of these 🙂
Casey says
Me too, I think a mix is good!
Alex Fahey says
I feel like I’m all of them. I’ve enjoyed all of the places I’ve gone to and we’ve had a nice mix the last few years. When I was living in Hawaii, I was more laid back. Here in Korea it’s a little different. All I know for sure is travel is in my blood.
Casey says
Me too, I have bits of all of them! And I agree with you, depending on where you are in your life or where you are living, that changes the kind of traveler you are!
anniewiltse says
Casey, I love this! I think I’m a combination of the last two with a touch of the cosmopolitan. I love places with deep history and small towns with charm.
Casey says
That’s a great combination! 🙂
Chantal says
I’m definitely a combo of the historian and the laid back seeker. I actively look for vacations near beaches where we can just chill, but I love being close to historical areas that we can explore!
Casey says
Love that combo! It’s a great combination to explore areas as well as have the relaxation!
KC Saling says
I’m a little bit of all of those, but more and more I’m slipping into the Cozy-Up Traveler category! I absolutely love a good B&B, driving around the countryside, taking in local favorite restaurants, hikes, and maybe a good wine tasting or two.
Casey says
Me too! I’m a bit of all of them but I agree with you, we’ve had trips recently where we just check out for a bit and drive the countryside and I love that!
Macy Gutermuth says
I have a little bit of each one. I love cities, but I also like to get away for a little while. I also love historical areas but sometimes I just want to go to a quaint unknown area. This is a great list.
Casey says
Me too! I’m a little bit of all of them.
