So recognizable, I’m not sure what category I’m in myself, it’s easier to judge others .

I think I might have multiple personalities based on your descriptions. Of course, just because I’m a paranoid pisshead, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get me a drink.

Divas certainly need to be added to the list, they are the ones carrying around real guess bags not the fakes “Hello, yes I would like to be mugged!!!” There was this one diva I knew who carried a hairdryer in her oversized handbag, I caught a her redoing her hair in a restaurant bathroom on a lunch stop, she had only done it like 3 hours prior. Strangely enough they seem to gravitate towards the Root Rats.

I think we can expand on the list………the travelling diva, pulling their designer luggage around, usually travelling in groups of girls with overly matching outfits and gold bangles around their wrists and the latest style of Gucci sunglasses adorning their heads. They always seem to be the ones that keep the mini buses waiting while they’re busy touching up their inch think war paint, sorry makeup. They usually have such large handbags that take up entire seats on the buses to stop anyone from sitting next to them, heaven forbid that they talk to the pisshead or the dharma bums If they really want another seat they really should purchase a second ticket.

Great post. What if people straddle more than one personality type when they travel. I am both a gadget geek and a minimalist. You certainly called me out with the comment “the wifi here sucks!” Keep ‘em coming.

I suspect we’ve all run into these Travel Personality Types at one point or another. It’s worse when they’re split personalities! (eg. Pisshead and Root Rat combined!)

I took a college tour of Europe and ran into all of those types. Down side was being trapped on a bus with Pisshead and Root Rat for 2 months. “Lucky Bikini” is still in my lexicon. Very funny. Thanks!
