What Type of Traveller Are You?

As a species, we are all very different. We have different jobs, hobbies, lifestyles and of course, we like to travel in different ways.

At Designer Journeys we recognise that everyone is different. That’s why we have over 250 Local Designers in over 55 different destinations around the globe ready to design a trip that is completely tailored to you.

So now for the big question – what type of traveller are you?

The most exciting parts to a trip for you are which restaurants you’re going to eat at and which local delicacies you’re going to sample! When you’re friends return from their trips you ask what they ate and where they ate instead of what they saw. You are The Foodie traveller.

Designing a trip to a foodie destination like Italy with one of our Local Designers means you will be taken behind the scenes of the typical tourist haunts and into the homes of locals, into remote wineries and quiet little pizzerias that the masses are yet to discover or if you prefer fancy, let us give you access to the most exclusive restaurants on offer!

Each new city you encounter you see as a challenge to be defeated. You get excited by the different options that are presented o you when navigating a city and finding the hidden gems within those cities is exactly what you set out to do. You’re The City Explorer traveller through and through.

For the City Explorer, the fast-paced bustle of forward-thinking Asian cities like Tokyo really gets your travel juices flowing. A trip to Tokyo designed by one of our Local Designers will offer quirky neighbourhoods, towering skyscrapers, hidden eateries and so much more; it will be the chance to see a city in a completely new way!

The oldest pyramids in the world, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and archaeological sites at the top of mountains are just a few things that speak to your heart when travelling. You like to delve deeper into a country’s history to learn all about how their culture, landscape and traditions developed to what they are today. You, my friend, are The History Buff.

Designing a trip and travelling with one of our Local Designers should be your top priority as who better to explain the history of a place than someone who has lived and breathed it their entire life?

For you, the perfect trip would look something like trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Both a physical challenge for you and a great story to return home with.

For you, planning a trip to the Greek Islands with one of our Local Designers would give you everything you want and more. Think remote, white-sand, paradisical beaches and yacht cruises to little islands by day and fine wines in local taverns as you watch the sunset over the ocean by night.

When designing a romantic getaway to a city like Paris with one of our Local Designers, you’ll not only see the sights, your trip will be filled with perfect moments: tasting macarons in the best local patisserie in town, dining whilst overlooking the sparkling Eiffel Tower and learning why this city has become known as the ‘City of Love’!

You struggle to walk past a tree with a peculiar sound without wondering which insect, bird or animal is making that sound. You fall over yourself to witness wildlife in a new destination. For The Wildlife Enthusiast, travelling is just as much about the creatures you encounter as the places you go.

From African safaris to whale watching in Sri Lanka, observing wildlife is the best part of your trip. Our Local Designers will take this little bit of information and create a trip that fulfils this desire such as a cruise through the incredible Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, where the opportunity to immerse yourself in wildlife is endless.

Your wildlife adventure awaits you on this Galapagos Islands cruise.

Travelling with children or loved ones is very different to solo or couple travel. However, sharing experiences like spotting orangutans in the jungle or floating down the river in a circular basket boat together makes the trip that much more exciting as you create lifelong memories. You are The Family Vacationers.

In order to appease everyone and to make it an exciting and enjoyable adventure for all those involved – yourself included – the planning stage requires some finesse. Our Local Designers have endless experience when it comes to designing trips to suit your budget, travel style and interests, especially when it comes to families!
