Our Myers Briggs personality types can be very revealing, they give us a ton of information on our professional life, love life, parenting style and a huge variety of other factors.
Other than being super helpful when trying to explain your working style to your boss or giving hints about your love language to your new boyfriend, they also give us insight into what our vacation style.
Knowing where to vacation is super important when planning a trip or a holiday. If you choose a location that clashes with your personality you can actually end up having a really miserable time and not enjoying yourself, which is a huge waste of money and time.
Uptight or high-stress personalities need to find someplace where they can unwind and don't have to worry about little details whereas the more laid back and go with the flow personalities will probably prefer something exciting and fun and has absolutely no plan.
For example, if you were to throw a high anxiety planner into the middle of a South Asian city they would probably have a stroke, that is a high energy no safety no rules kind of environment.
Or if you took a brave adventurer to a Yoga retreat in the Mountains they’d probably be bored to tears or just cause mayhem. Each city has its own personality, just like you, it’s important to make a good match so you can make the most out of your much-needed break.
So, to make your planning just a little easier here is a comprehensive guide to where the best vacation spot for your personality is!
