Opening Hours
When it comes to travel, no two people explore the world in quite the same way.
Some of us plan every detail months in advance. Others prefer to follow the moment and see where the journey takes them. You might love relaxing by the pool with a good book, or filling every day with new experiences.
The truth is, your travel style says a lot about what makes a trip truly enjoyable for you. And once you understand it, planning your next getaway becomes a whole lot easier.

Your results: What your travel style says about you
Most people don’t fit neatly into one box, so if your answers were mixed, that’s completely normal. But if one letter came up more than the others, that result is likely your dominant travel style.
Use your result as a guide to the kinds of holidays, destinations, and planning habits that suit you best.
Mostly A: You’re a Relaxed Explorer
You travel to slow down, enjoy your surroundings, and make the most of every moment without rushing. For you, a holiday is a chance to step away from everyday routines and settle into a gentler pace. You’re unlikely to want every hour accounted for. Instead, you prefer trips that give you space to breathe, wander, and enjoy the details others might miss.
You’re often drawn to scenic destinations, cultural city breaks, coastal escapes, and holidays where comfort matters just as much as the location itself. You might enjoy a long lunch in a quiet square, a leisurely walk through a new town, or a few unplanned hours simply taking it all in. For you, the best trips feel effortless.
That doesn’t mean you don’t like structure. It just means you don’t want your holiday to feel like hard work. You’re happiest when the essentials are arranged, but there’s still enough flexibility to follow your mood on the day.
Your travel strengths
- You know how to switch off and enjoy the moment
- You’re good at choosing trips that feel restorative, not rushed
- You often come back from holiday feeling genuinely refreshed
What can catch you out
- Leaving practical details until the last minute because you’re focused on the experience
- Assuming a simple, low-key trip needs less preparation
- Underestimating how much easier a holiday feels when everything important is sorted before you go
Destinations and trips that may suit you
- Italy, Spain and Greece
- River cruises
- Long-stay European breaks
- Spa breaks and scenic coastal holidays
- Cultural city breaks with a slower pace
Travel tip for your style
Comfort is a priority for you, so it helps to plan around that from the start. Think about airport transfers, accommodation location, walking distances, and how much you want to fit into each day. A well-paced itinerary will often suit you better than an overfilled one.
What this could mean for Travel Insurance
Because you value reassurance and ease, you’re likely to appreciate having your Travel Insurance sorted early, so the practical side is out of the way. If you’re taking a longer trip, a cruise, or travelling with pre-existing medical conditions, choosing cover that reflects your holiday style can help you travel with confidence.
Mostly B: You’re an Adventure Seeker
For you, travel is about energy, discovery, and making memories through experiences. You’re motivated by the feeling of doing something new, whether that means exploring unfamiliar landscapes, trying local activities, or pushing yourself a little further than usual. You don’t just want to see a destination. You want to experience it.
You’re likely to enjoy holidays that are active, varied, and full of moments to talk about afterwards. You may be the kind of traveller who comes home with a camera full of views, stories about the people you met, and a list of places you’d still like to return to. Sitting still for too long probably isn’t your idea of a perfect break.
That sense of adventure is one of your biggest strengths. It means you’re open to the world and willing to embrace the unexpected. But it can also mean your trips involve more moving parts, more activities, and more opportunities for plans to change.
Your travel strengths
- You’re curious, enthusiastic, and open to new experiences
- You bring energy and excitement to every trip
- You’re often the one finding memorable activities and hidden highlights
What can catch you out
- Trying to fit too much into one trip
- Focusing on the exciting parts and overlooking the practical details
- Assuming you’ll “figure it out later” when some elements really do need planning in advance
Destinations and trips that may suit you
- Iceland
- Canada
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Walking holidays, touring holidays, cruises with excursions, and activity-led trips
Travel tip for your style
Build recovery time into your plans. The best adventures still need breathing room. It’s also worth checking in advance whether any activities, excursions, or specialist holidays need additional preparation, particularly if you’re travelling with medical conditions or medication.
What this could mean for Travel Insurance
Your kind of trip can involve more changes, more logistics, and more unpredictability than a simple fly-and-flop holiday. That makes preparation especially important. If you’re taking part in activities, travelling long-haul, or combining multiple stops, the right Travel Insurance can help support you if things don’t go to plan.
Mostly C: You’re a Careful Planner
You’re the kind of traveller who feels most excited once everything is organised. Flights are booked, confirmations are saved, the itinerary is taking shape, and you know exactly what to expect. For you, preparation isn’t stressful – it’s part of the enjoyment. Planning helps you feel in control, and that sense of order is what lets you properly look forward to your trip.
You probably research destinations thoroughly, compare accommodation carefully, and think ahead about timings, routes, and logistics. You like knowing the details because it helps everything run more smoothly. While some people may see this as over-planning, for you, it’s simply the best way to travel.
This approach often pays off. You’re less likely to forget important steps and more likely to make informed choices. But being organised can also mean that disruptions feel more frustrating, because you’ve put real thought into getting everything right.
Your travel strengths
- You’re well prepared and rarely leave essentials to chance
- You’re good at making thoughtful decisions that suit your needs
- You create holidays that feel smooth, structured, and low stress
What can catch you out
- Feeling thrown when things change unexpectedly
- Spending so much time planning that it becomes harder to stay flexible
- Taking on all the responsibility if you’re travelling with others
Destinations and trips that may suit you
- Cruises
- Guided tours
- Multi-centre holidays
- Long-haul trips with multiple bookings
- City breaks with museums, landmarks, and pre-booked experiences
Travel tip for your style
Keep all your plans in one place, but leave some space for flexibility too. Even the best-organised trip can change, so try to plan with a little room around the edges. That way, a delayed flight or missed booking feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
What this could mean for Travel Insurance
For you, Travel Insurance is part of the plan, not an afterthought. You’re likely to value knowing that if your trip is disrupted, you’ve already put protection in place. This can be particularly important if you’ve booked several elements in advance or if you’re travelling with pre-existing medical conditions and want clarity before you go.
Mostly D: You’re a Spontaneous Traveller
You love freedom. For you, some of the best travel moments happen when plans change, when you take a detour, or when you discover something unexpected that ends up becoming the highlight of the trip. You don’t need every detail locked in to enjoy yourself. In fact, too much structure can make travel feel less exciting.
You’re likely to be comfortable making decisions on the move, changing course when something better comes along, or booking things closer to departure. That flexibility can make your holidays feel more alive and more personal. You’re open to surprise, and that often leads to memorable experiences.
Your style is naturally adaptable, which is a real strength. But there’s a difference between being flexible and being unprepared. The more free-flowing your trip is, the more helpful it can be to have the key practical details sorted in advance.
Your travel strengths
- You’re adaptable and calm when plans change
- You’re open to opportunities others might miss
- You make travel feel exciting and natural rather than rigid
What can catch you out
- Leaving important admin until too late
- Assuming everything can be sorted on the go
- Forgetting that some essentials really do need advance planning
Destinations and trips that may suit you
- City breaks in Europe
- Touring holidays
- UK breaks
- Road trips
- Last-minute sunshine holidays
Travel tip for your style
Give yourself freedom where it matters, but lock in the basics. Travel documents, medication, destination details, and Travel Insurance are all easier to sort before you go. Once that’s done, you can still keep the spirit of spontaneity without creating avoidable stress.
What this could mean for Travel Insurance
Even if your holiday plans are flexible, your practical preparation should still be solid. Travel Insurance can be easy to overlook when you’re booking quickly or deciding things late, but it’s one of the most important things to have in place before your trip begins. Annual Travel Insurance can save you time and money, giving you the freedom to plan more spontaneous getaways with confidence.
Mostly E: You’re a Social Traveller
For you, the best part of travel is who you share it with. Holidays are about connection, whether that means family time, travelling as a couple, joining friends, or meeting new people along the way. The destination matters, of course, but the experience is shaped just as much by the company and the memories you create together.
You may be the person who brings everyone together, looks for trips that suit different personalities, or makes sure there’s something for everybody. You’re likely to value holidays that feel warm, welcoming, and easy to enjoy as a shared experience rather than something purely personal or solo.
This style can lead to some of the most meaningful trips of all. But travelling with others also brings extra considerations. Different needs, preferences, health situations, budgets, and energy levels can all shape the planning process.
Your travel strengths
- You create memorable trips that bring people closer together
- You’re thoughtful about what others need
- You often choose holidays that feel balanced, inclusive, and rewarding
What can catch you out
- Putting everyone else’s needs first and forgetting your own
- Taking on too much of the planning yourself
- Overlooking practical details because your focus is on making the trip work for the group
Destinations and trips that may suit you
- Family holidays
- Cruises
- Resort breaks
- Multi-generational trips
- Group tours and celebratory getaways
Travel tip for your style
Try to think about the trip in layers: what the group wants, what each person needs, and what will make the holiday feel easiest for everyone. A little planning around pace, medical needs, and expectations can make a big difference to how relaxed the trip feels once you arrive.
What this could mean for Travel Insurance
When you travel with other people, there is simply more to consider. One person’s health needs, booking changes, or cancelled plans can affect the whole trip. That makes having the right Group Travel Insurance especially important. If anyone on the trip is living with pre-existing medical conditions, specialist cover can be an important part of making sure everybody feels properly prepared.
Mixed results? Here’s what that means
A mixed result doesn’t mean the quiz hasn’t worked. It usually means you adapt your style depending on the type of trip, who you’re travelling with, and what stage of life you’re in.
For example, you might be:
- A planner on long-haul holidays, but spontaneous on short city breaks
- Relaxed when travelling as a couple, but more organised on family trips
- Social by nature, but still drawn to comfort and slower-paced experiences
That’s actually very common. Travel style isn’t fixed. It shifts over time, and the best holidays are often the ones that reflect what you need right now.
However you like to travel, having the right Travel Insurance in place can help you enjoy your trip with greater peace of mind. Enjoy your adventures!
