What Kind Of Traveler Are You?

Traveling is an exciting experience that allows us to explore new cultures, meet new people and learn about ourselves.  But traveling also comes with its share of risks and dangers.  Here are some things to consider before you travel.

Do you Like Going Out Or Staying In?

If you prefer staying at home and relaxing, then traveling might not be for you.  But, if you love going out and meeting new people, traveling may suit you well.  It's up to you to decide whether to take a staycation or that trip you've been dreaming about.

Are You More Of An Adventurer Or Homebody?

People who enjoy traveling often say that they feel more relaxed after returning home than before they left.  This is because traveling allows them to disconnect from everyday life and focus on themselves.  They also tend to make new friends with other travelers and locals as well.

Do You Prefer Hotels Or Hostels?

If you're looking for inexpensive places to stay consider hostels.  These are usually located near tourist attractions and offer dorm rooms where guests share a bathroom and kitchen.  There is a sense of community within a Hostel, a common area to gather, and people always coming and going.  A Hostel is a more social experience at a lower price. If you're looking to make connections or don't plan on spending much time in the room then a Hostel may be your best choice.  The typical crowd you'll see at a Hostel are younger travelers, but that's not to say you won't find senior citizens staying there wanting to recreate with their youth.

Hotels offer privacy, your own space, and a place to relax from the hustle and bustle of travel.  Many of the hotels offer breakfast, dinner, and bar services.  In a hotel, you can choose whether to stay in seclusion, interact with fellow guests or go out and explore.  Hotels are the best option if you want the added peace and quiet you typically don't get in a Hostel.  The majority of adult travelers past tend to stay in hotels or house rentals.

Do You Want To Stay Close To The Action Or Far Away From It All?

If you're planning a trip to a city with lots of sights and activities you might want to choose a hotel that offers easy access to those things.  On the other hand, if you are traveling to a quiet area, you might want to pick a hotel that is far away from the busy areas.

Do You Have Any Special Needs When Traveling?

Whether you're traveling by car, plane, train, bus, boat, or even walking there are some things you should consider when choosing where to stay.  First, make sure you have a budget for the place you want to stay.  Second, check ou the location of the hotel, what is it near, is it accessible by public transportation, and is it in a busy or quiet area?  Third, ask yourself whether you need a room with a kitchenette or not?  Fourth, find out how much parking will cost.  Fifth ask about any special services offered at the hotel.  Sixth, ask about any fees associated with using the WI-FI.  Seventh, ask about any pet policies.  Eight, ask about any noise restriction.  Nineth, ask about security measures.
