What’s Your Winter Travel Personality?

When it comes to holidaying during the season of snow, you aren’t adverse to a bit of cold. After all, you’re ‘The Yeti’, owner of endless winter woollies! Cable knit jumpers, toasty coats and matching sets of hats, scarves and gloves: you own them all, and won’t hesitate to wear them all at once! Tightly bundled up, you’re likely to be found exploring the likes of Switzerland, Belgium and France.

You like to sight-see and explore as much as the next winter traveler, but the part of the trip you really look forward to? Arriving back at your accommodation for an evening spent wrapped up in a blanket, mulled wine or hot chocolate in hand. France, Italy and the Alps are likely to be your travel destinations of choice, allowing you to cozy up and hibernate in luxury.

A social butterfly, luxury ski holidays in the Alps are likely to be your winter retreat of choice. You love the exciting, sport-filled side of a trip, but après-ski is where you really come into your own. Wining, dining and dancing late into the night with your friends and loved ones; for you, holidays are all about losing yourself in the dynamic social atmosphere.

Embrace the cold? Brrr! You’d rather be stretched out on a sun-soaked beach in the Maldives! A seasoned frost-phobe, you’re more likely to hotfoot it to warmer climes than see out winter in the snow. Pristine beaches in Bali, the intoxicating landscape of Thailand, the exotic surroundings of the Caribbean – they are all at the top of your travel lust list.

Let winter stand in the way of an adventure? Pah! It enhances the experience all the more. A born ‘Explorer’, you love nothing more than fully embracing winter in a range of destinations, both far-flung and close to home. Whether scaling glaciers in Iceland, hiking in the Alps or tackling challenging treks in China, one thing’s for sure… the experience is even more epic when accompanied by snow and ice.

When the cold weather sets in, you love nothing more than indulging your inner ‘Comfort Foodie’. Belgian chocolate, warming Moroccan stew, Egyptian kofta and rich Greek meat dishes: local cuisine plays an integral role in your travel experience. After all, what could be better than coming in from the cold and sitting down to a plate of delicious food?

Snowboarding, skiing, kite skiing – you’re a fully-fledged winter ‘Adrenaline Junkie’. You want to visit a place where you can lose yourself in adrenaline sports. Somewhere like the spectacular Alps or the diverse states of the USA. Constantly craving a new thrill, you love the additional challenge that winter injects into these landscapes.

Constantly on the move, you are ‘The Nomad’. No matter how beautiful a winter landscape, you need to move on – there’s just too much of the world to see. You are most likely to be found travelling across places like the USA, Thailand and China: hitch-hiking, walking, hopping on a bus. You love going back to basics and seeing as much of a destination as you can.
