How did you do?
8-13: You're not cut out to be a traveller.
You'd much rather stay on home turf, feeling safe and content with the familiar,
than head off into the unknown.
14-19: You like seeing new places and meeting new people. For you,
travel is part of a balanced life. It's not something you'd ever do
exclusively, but a fun trip over the holidays is always a treat.
20-24: Writer Paul Theroux said: "Tourists don't know where they've
been, and travellers don't know where they're going." You are true to the
spirit of Theroux's traveller - you head out looking for an adventure and see
hold-ups and mishaps as all part of the fun.
