Are you the adventurer or the last-minute planner? Find out what kind of traveller you are!

We Malaysians are born adventurers at heart. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip to Port Dickson or nabbing a budget flight to Bangkok for a whirlwind weekend of street food, shopping, and adventure, we thrive on the excitement of a getaway.

It’s not just about where we go—it’s how we make every trip unforgettable, adding our unique touch to every journey. But here’s a fun twist: the way we travel speaks volumes about who we are. So, are you the meticulous planner, the daring explorer, or the ultimate foodie on the move? Let’s uncover your travel style!

THE ADRENALINE JUNKIE

This one’s all about living life on the edge in the spirit of YOLO (you only live once). Sunbathing by the beach or taking a leisure stroll in the city? Please, that’s too basic for this thrill seeker.

For this traveller, every destination is a playground of possibilities. They're not just ticking off landmarks or snapping pretty photos—they’re diving into the raw, unfiltered essence of a place.

Think skydiving over Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah, white-water rafting through the roaring rapids of Bali, or trekking up active volcanoes in Indonesia just to catch a sunrise that will leave you breathless. They seek out challenges that leave their heart pounding and their spirits soaring, proving that the best memories come with a side of adrenaline.

For them, it's all about the thrill of living life fully and without limits. Every trip is a chance to challenge themselves and to check off another fun experience from their bucket list.

THE KIASU PLANNER

We all have a “Kiasu Planner” in the group - the one who is extra organised, meticulous, and perhaps slightly obsessive about getting everything just right, this traveller doesn’t just go with the flow—they create the flow, direct it and ensure there’s a back-up plan in case it doesn’t go according to the schedule.

Tickets for major attractions are booked weeks or months in advance, they’ve done their research on the best local restaurants and drafted a schedule on what to do over a week-long trip in Tokyo.

This traveller may not leave much room for spontaneity, but hey, at least they know exactly where to get the best ramen in town and the exact moment to capture that Instagram-worthy shot of the sunset!

This traveller doesn’t just go with the flow—they create the flow, direct it, and ensure there’s a back-up plan in case it doesn’t go according to the schedule. Whether it’s packing travel essentials in labeled pouches or triple-checking weather forecasts, they leave nothing to chance.

Tickets for major attractions are booked weeks or months in advance, and they’ve done their research on the best local restaurants, scouring reviews, blogs, and travel forums to craft the ultimate itinerary.

They’ve drafted a schedule for a week-long trip in Tokyo, down to the exact minute. From catching the first train to visiting Tsukiji Market to securing the perfect spot at a sumo wrestling match, they’ve got it all figured out. This level of planning ensures the group maximises every moment, even if it means sacrificing a little spontaneity.

This traveller may not leave much room for impromptu adventures, but hey, at least they know exactly where to get the best ramen in town, how to skip the queues at the most popular attractions, and the precise moment to capture that Instagram-worthy shot of the sunset at Odaiba Beach. Their meticulous planning might occasionally feel intense, but it often leads to unforgettable experiences that the whole group can appreciate.

THE LAST MINUTE PLANNER

For the “Last Minute Planner”, time is more of a suggestion than a strict guide. They’re the champions of impulse decisions—booking flights at the 11th hour and probably packing the night before.

The type of traveller thrives on the thrill of spontaneous adventure, whether it’s hunting down a last-minute tour, hopping on a random train because it looks fun, or choosing the nearest street food stall just because it looks enticing.

To them, travel is all about being in the moment, embracing the chaos, and trusting that the universe will make everything work out.

While some travellers may be content with budget hostels and street food, the “Bougie Traveler” has a different approach to travel. Think five-star hotels and meals that are as much about the experience as they are about the food.

For them, a vacation is a chance to indulge in life’s finer things and curate an experience that’s as stylish as it is exclusive.

While the adrenaline junkie is all about doing things that get their hearts racing, the Bougie Traveler makes relaxation an art form. Spas and massages? You bet.

If there’s one thing the Bougie Traveler understands, it’s that a vacation isn’t just about getting away—it’s about elevating the experience to something truly extraordinary. Because for them, why settle for less when you can have the best?

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Always on the lookout for the perfect shot, whether it’s a mouthwatering dish or a candid moment in a crowded city they’re constantly ready to snap that Instagrammable moment!

They’re the ones who can’t leave a tourist spot without at least 25 shots from every angle, just to make sure they get the one perfect shot.

Also, let’s not forget the countless selfies or OOTDs (outfit of the day) - those can take 10 tries, 20 different poses, and a lot of patience, but the perfect pic is always worth it.

Forget just having fun—they’re documenting memories for the future (and the ‘likes’ too?). Because if it’s not on camera, did it really even happen?

THE ULTIMATE MULTITASKER (READ; TRAVELLING WITH KIDS)

Parents are the ultimate multitaskers when travelling. Is this you? Photo by Canva

Parents on holidays aren’t exactly on vacation mode - they’re just caring for their children in another country! This parent traveller is the ultimate multitasker. They don’t just plan a trip, they orchestrate an entire symphony of needs, moods and schedules, ensuring everyone in the family has a great time.

From juggling logistics to soothing tantrums (for the younger ones) and still finding time to take photos and OOTDs, this type of traveller is probably trained to have superhero-levels of patience because they are ready for any possibilities that come their way. From managing stroller logistics in tiny aisles, soothing tantrums mid-flight, packing extra snacks just in case, best believe they’ve mastered it all.

But despite the chaos, for these parents, the best souvenirs are the memories and, of course, the endless stories they’ll tell for years to come.

THE BUSINESS JETSETTER

We all have that one friend or relative who’s always jet-setting for work, constantly hopping between cities and countries. Their Instagram feed is a never-ending stream of epic hotel views, exotic breakfasts, and quick snaps in front of famous landmarks. One minute they’re in Singapore, the next, they’re in New York. Oh, the dream!

However, behind the polished photos, though, is another true master of multitasking. They’re balancing meetings, business dinners and a never-ending stream of emails, all while squeezing in a bit of sightseeing whenever they can.

So, what type of traveller are you?

You can be anyone of the categories above, but one thing’s for sure - don’t be the type to travel without travel insurance! You wouldn’t want to come back from a trip with a horror story and a side of trauma.
