We all have a travel personality. Some of us like adventure, while others strive for the ultimate relaxation. Take a moment to envision your ideal vacation - we have some destination suggestions to ensure your next trip is a perfect match for you!
Are you a Risk Taker or a Safety Seeker?
- Risk Taker: The Risk Taker loves adrenaline. Why do people love an adrenaline rush? As Mental Health America says, “A short surge of adrenaline when you're not actually in a life-or-death situation can feel pretty good to some people—so good that they chase after that feeling by doing increasingly scary and dangerous things. You might've heard them called "adrenaline junkies." If an adrenaline rush is on your radar this summer, plan accordingly!
Try Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio - two of the ten tallest roller coasters in the US are at this famous thrill-seeking spot, also known as "the roller coaster capital of the world.” Want to skip the crowds? Try Bungee jumping off the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, known for its breathtaking free fall!
- Safety Seeker: If, instead, you go on vacation to lower your cortisol levels, you might be a Safety Seeker. Your biggest goal for vacation: R-E-L-A-X. Say no thanks to scuba diving with manta rays or four-wheeling through the desert - some beautiful nature, a good book, and a massage are on your perfect itinerary! (oh, and a sunrise yoga class sounds divine!)
Try Sedona, Arizona, a desert town surrounded by red-rock buttes with a mild climate, perfect for spa time, hiking, and good food. Or - soak in the mineral-rich hot spring pools sourced from the world's deepest hot springs in aptly named Hot Springs, Arkansas. You can also stroll through the walking paths in Hot Springs National Park.
Are you a Budget Buster or a Bargain Hunter?
Are you willing to spend top dollar on dream travel? Or do you feel that the less expensive the trip, the better? That’s okay; most of us have something unique to visit outside our door. We’ve got you covered either way.
- Budget Buster: If you like to work hard and play hard—no matter the cost, and your theme in life is “YOLO” (You Only Live Once), you are a Budget Buster. That probably means first-class travel, eating at the finest restaurants, and visiting that cool, far-off place that is a one-in-a-million experience.
Try Hawaii—it’s a big splurge, but it's worth it! Airfare alone is pricey, and frankly, so is everything else, but it’s paradise. Plan on spending extra for food in this tropical oasis. And check out the many five-star resorts for first-class service and luxury. Make sure you look the part. Pack the MicroTouch Titanium Rovor for a close shave and a smooth-to-the-touch face. The three-way suspension takes on the curves of the face with no nicks or cuts.
- Bargain Hunter: Most of us fall into this category today. If you really want to travel but don’t have much extra vacation money, or you can’t stomach the high prices of the usual touristy spots, the National Parks are a bang for your buck.
There are 429 national park sites in the United States, and the activities are endless, whether you're an adventurer or prefer a relaxing stroll in nature. Book a campsite, and your vacation is even more reasonable. Find out how here.
Are you “Go with the Flow” or an Agenda Keeper?
Every traveler falls into one of two categories—the “Type A” planner or the laid-back type, happy with no plans and seeing where the day takes them.
- Go with the Flow: The easy-going, laid-back type might want to venture somewhere that doesn’t involve intense planning, big crowds, or reservations.
Try a coastal vacation that has lots of variety. South Beach in Miami gives you options for a big night out, a day full of shopping, or just some time being a beach bum. Go-with-the-flow types might find vacation the best opportunity to kick back and say “no” to daily shaving and grow a vacation beard. That, to many, is the sign of true relaxation! But no one wants to look scruffy. Pack the MicroTouch Solo Titanium Beard + Body Groomer for full body precision to trim, groom, and edge hair anywhere. Three pro grooming guides dial in the perfect length. Cordless and rechargeable, it’s the ideal travel companion.
- Agenda Keeper: A “Type A” genuinely enjoys travel planning, so a trip with many sites to see and restaurants to try keeps a planner on the go. We suggest New York City! You can spend hours researching the best restaurants, hotels, Broadway Shows, exhibitions, art shows, and more. Organizing and planning are critical to a great trip in a busy city. Staying on schedule will ensure you take a big bite out of the Big Apple and won’t miss a thing!
Before you plan your next vacation, take some time to think about what you enjoy doing the most and find the perfect fit for your travel personality. Don’t forget to bring MicroTouch wherever you go for easy self-care to keep you looking and feeling your best!
