We often see at RFF threads on traveling. I just saw on bbc.com a travel quiz that measures what type of a traveler you are. Do you choose first taking care of photography or .... ?

I took the quiz, and then I was told that "I am " : The connector

You’ve been called a “social butterfly” so often, you expect to sprout wings. You’re fascinated by the life stories of those you encounter, and language is hardly ever a barrier. Thanks to your natural extroversion and empathy, you connect with new cultures on a truly human level. Forget collecting passport stamps; you collect new friends.
==================================


Let us know what type of traveler you are.
 
Typical - the British Broadcorping Castration doesn't see fit to allow access to the quiz if you actually live in Britain. Sorry, can't take the quiz here.......!!
 
I am an 'inhibited' traveler, because BBC is blocked here an Vietnam and therefore can't take the test ;)
 
"The Documentarian". For you, the only thing better than seeing a jaw-dropping view is capturing it forever. You thrive on finding the beauty around you, and showcasing it in stunning, unique ways. After all, there’s a big, beautiful world out there. It’s practically your duty to capture as much of it as possible!

Sounds about right, since I answered "camera" every single time it was an option. Not sure any of my photography could be classed as showcasing things in "stunning, unique ways" though. ;)
 
This has been a BBC blasting feedback!
Oh well. All I wanted is a peek into how people prioritize in traveling.
 
Aaahh well all you had to do was ask :rolleyes:

I'm not an adrenaline junkie but I travel for "adventure", cruises, all-inclusive packages, lounging on a beach or expensive meals are not in my travel plans.

I usually go with minimal planning (but lots of research) and light bags, I like to get lost in places, I find remote places very attractive. I hate staying in hotels and being around very "touristy" travellers, so I usually stay where I can meet local people.
Being an introvert I'm also interested in things like local art and places to be alone so I can think, I like long drives and obviously photography
 
I hate getting there, I just like being there already :p
Except when the plane accelerates before takeoff, it's my favourite part
 
The documentarian - but I had to mentally replace DSLR with film camera, SD chip with TMAx and labeling files with developing film :D
 
LOL...

DOCUMENTARIAN

For you, the only thing better than seeing a jaw-dropping view is capturing it forever. You thrive on finding the beauty around you, and showcasing it in stunning, unique ways. After all, there’s a big, beautiful world out there. It’s practically your duty to capture as much of it as possible!
 
Documentarian as well, which sounds about right... I think a lot of RFF regulars would be categorized by this quiz as documentarians.
 
My wife must be responsible for not allowing me to turn into a "documentarian".
I get allowances for minutes at a time of photography. This forces me to sit back and to enjoy the trip. Of course, I cheat! So maybe I am a documentarian in disguise?

Exactly. Active explorer. Photography is never my main reason for travel. I travel with family/friends/for work.

And, I'd never pay for excess baggage, that automatically means checked baggage, which I try to avoid at all costs.
