  • What type of traveller are you? Some cliches...

    http://blogs.theage.com.au/travel/ar...r_cliches.html

    Go the boozers! Hmm then again I don't drink all that much beer (wine, bubbles and cocktails thanks) unless there's a huge price difference or beer is the only drinkable item, and neither do I watch much football.

    I'd also add one more category: The Shopper (whose idea of a good holiday is cleaning out boutiques of all local niche brands they can find, and whose aim is to shop at Prada/[insert favourite label] on at least 3 continents)! I probably fit somewhere in between Shopper and Boozer.

    I'm also guilty of some 'box ticking' sometimes (eg in Rome I sped through the Sistine Chapel in 20 mins, if even that, just to say I've 'been there done that') then again despite having been to HKG heaps I've not visited the Big Buddha till the last time I was there when the other half insisted on seeing it.

      I am definitely in the box ticker category. I am terrible for dashing round sights so that I can just tick them off my list of places seen.

        Limitless expense accounts are quite unfashionable in the current GFC/recession.

        Quite a few of my colleagues are travelling less, or not travelling with the same level of prestige to save costs and/or to give a certian impression.

            I'm the family snapper. My camera doesn't look like Hubble though
