Long gone are the days when you were just considered a regular fit in a square box tourist. We have all emerged and evolved into specific travelers. There are those who like to fit right in with the locals, those who just want to relax and sit on the beach worrying about nothing and those who are well, in between. Loop Barbados has decided to put you to the test to determine your ultimate travel type:

Cove Bay Barbados

* The Authentic Pioneer - You like to completely immerse yourself in the destination and its culture. Change excites you and you love to take risks with all your senses, whether it be the food you eat or the places you stay. You are all about the experience and seek constant opportunities to embrace your environment (natural and cultural). You are willing to go off the beaten track to discover how locals truly live. Let's just say group tours and rigid plans are not your fort-ay.
* The Historical Enthusiast - When you travel you are likely seeking out personal interests or a hobby, making the trip more intrinsically rewarding. It can either be personal family history or you try to go beyond your own roots to comprehend the culture and history of others. You prefer to travel alone or in small groups where you can take the time needed to learn at your own pace and really absorb your surroundings.
* The Safe Explorer- You love traveling and experiencing the popular landmarks of a destination, however you tend to shy away from cultural risks. You prefer traveling with a guided tour group and staying in branded or well known hotels. You are ambitious yet anxious about your travels.
* The Adventurer - You are all about the fun when you travel and find ultimate thrill in the unusual and exotic. You are young at heart and prefer to be surrounded by people who are like you. Overflowing with energy and enthusiasm you have a very "seize the day" kind of attitude.
* The Temperate Traveler - As a temperate traveler you pursue comfortable, serene and well organized travel while avoiding the unknown. Travel should be fun and hassle free with no extra work. You will often return to a destination if you enjoyed it and were able to fully relax. Guided tours suit you perfectly and even better someone to plan the trip for you! Escaping your day to day activities and simply enjoying a break with family or friends is what your goal is when traveling.
* The Virtual Traveler - Tending not to travel very often you prefer your daily comforts and will travel by way of media, for example via internet or television. When you do travel it tends to be close to home and very traditional and cautious.

So, which traveler are you? Let us know!
