What kind of traveler are you?

Our trip through life is different for each of us. We each have different perspectives on how we see and live life. Some see things sooner than others. Some see things only later in life when it is too late. What type of life traveler are you?

The Business traveler
Is here to get the job done. Although he travels he sees nothing except the airport, hotel and the work site he goes to. The person is focused primarily on work, getting ahead and survival. He has little time or other resources available to enjoy and see what life and places have to offer. Travels when required to get his job done.

The Tour traveler
Is too cautious in life and only takes paths that are well known and low risk. Similar to the tour traveler who needs all the details taken care of and predetermined before the trip. This person sees some of what life has to offer but doesn't live life to it's full potential. Sees only places that are common and known to even the least adventurous.

The Non traveler
Doesn't travel. Fears traveling. This person never gets started in life or doesn't know what life has to offer. He often worries about what can go wrong in life.

The Road Trip traveler
Travels and goes where ever and when ever the resources he has allows him to go. Enjoys even the smallest trips and places he goes.

The Student traveler
Travels because he stumbled on cheap airline tickets. This is the optimistic traveler. Goes where life takes him. Not knowing or caring where he is going but knowing that he is going somewhere.

Perhaps we are all these types of travelers at different stages in our lives. Do you know of any other types of travelers that are a good metaphor for your trip through life?

Interesting concept, but people are far too complex to categorize and try to fit into such small, narrow boxes.

I agree. I have been each one of these types of travelers at different stages in my life.
