Many of us are familiar with our ‘love language’ and what this means for our daily life and relationships, but do we know how our personalities affect which holidays and destinations we fall for?
This Valentine’s Day we have curated six travel personalities that can help you find your perfect vacation match! Are you an explorer, thrill-seeker, or something else entirely? With the world of adventure out there to explore, it can be difficult to know what type of traveler you are. We have broken down the common travel personalities so that you can determine which one best fits your own preferences.
So whether you prefer a fast-paced itinerary or want to chill and take in the sights, let’s find out: What's Your Travel Personality?
The Chosen One
The Chosen one is always at the right place at the right time. Maybe they’ve got their hands on some of Harry Potter’s liquid luck, or maybe they were born with it. Whatever it is, we want some. Scoring free flight upgrades and nabbing the last (best) room in every hotel is almost guaranteed. They wouldn’t even know how to buy their own drink at this point.
Destination
Rovaniemi, Finland - If you resonate with The Chosen One, then look no further than Northern Finland. The Northern Lights are visible roughly 200 nights a year and your chance of seeing them depends on two key things: clear skies and a bit of good luck - making it the perfect location for those with good fortune on their side.
Where to stay
Experience a touch of luxury in the rugged beauty and traditional culture of Northern Finland at Arctic TreeHouse Hotel! With top-notch accommodation, astonishing views over the forest landscape, and incredible displays of the Northern Lights & Midnight Sun right outside your window - you can cozy up for an unforgettable stay.
Things to do
Get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Lappish people with this Adventure and Food Experience from Rovaniemi. With a local guide, you’ll speed to a frozen lake in the forest by snowmobile, then try your hand at Arctic fishing. Finish up by huddling around a bonfire in the snow to prepare and eat a traditional Lappish barbecue with Lappish bread, salmon, pork sausage, marshmallows and hot blueberry juice.
The Loved Up Couple
The Loved Up Couple have eyes for each other first, and their surroundings second. They can spot the best photographer in a crowd of strangers, get them to take the perfect couple snap, and immediately upload to their influencer-worthy Instagram feed with a curated mushy caption. They like to refer to Paris as their home away from home and have their honeymoon planned to a T.

Destination
Capri, Italy - Situated in the Bay of Naples, Capri is the ultimate destination for those in love. From the dramatic coastline and glistening blue seas, to the picture perfect coves and Faraglioni (AKA. The Tunnel of Love), Capri offers jaw-dropping scenery and undeniable beauty bound to get even the Loved Up Couple to look up from eachothers’ eyes. With plenty to see and do, Capri offers all the ingredients you need for a romantic escape.
Where to stay
Visitors to beautiful Capri looking for the perfect romantic stay should look no further than Hotel della Piccola Marina! Being conveniently located near stunning landmarks like Belvedere Cannone and Piazza Umberto, this hotel is ideal for discovering all that the captivating Italian island has to offer. Enjoy a wonderful getaway with superb amenities that will provide an unforgettable experience on your visit.
Things to do
Climb aboard a vintage yellow Fiat 500 for a Photographic Tour of Capri. With a local island guide behind the wheel, you can visit scenic spots off the tourist trail, where you can always be sure of taking great photos. A nice idea: you'll let the guide capture the moments with the camera, so you can focus on them.
The Slacker
The Slacker takes a more relaxed, happy go lucky approach to their travel. Describing their plans as ‘loose’ (aka they haven’t made any bookings yet), they prefer to see where the wind takes them. They’re definitely making friends with everyone in their hostel, which is lucky because they’ll need some help when they lose their passport for the third time this trip.

The Foodie
The Foodie has a one track mind, and a determination like no other. Their entire holiday is booked around the F&B scene, and they will happily spend up to five hours in a line for the perfect ramen. Nothing will keep them from sampling the best food they can find. Feeling FOMO? Don’t worry, they’ll be spamming their dedicated foodie Instagram the whole trip.

Toast your adventure, and new friends, with an included glass of beer, ‘shochu’ (rice liquor) or soft drinks.
The Adventurer
The Adventurer has no fear. Always landing in the thick of it, they are thrill seekers who love a challenge. Their bucket list is like their bible and they’ve written ‘do something everyday that scares you’ at the top, underlined twice. Unfortunately for them, the adventure sometimes gets the better of them, and they’re probably recovering from an ACL tear right now.
Destination

The Meticulous Planner

They’ve had their accommodation and flights booked for at least six months and the itinerary for each day is planned down to the minute (starting at a casual 6:00am). They’ve already shown you five different spreadsheets for the one trip and there’s probably another five lamented in their suitcase.
Destination

To ensure you can fit everything in, get your schedule in place and be prepared to be exploring from the crack of dawn until well after the sun goes down.
