Are you a hardcore Traveller?

Planning your first trip? Don’t know whether to go for an all-inclusive resort or just wing it? Here’s how to tell if you’re made for traveller rather than resort-ing:

- You’d rather use your money for 2 extra weeks of hostels/B&B and food than 1 week in a resort
- You can only stand to lie on a beach for maximum 2 days
- You have the urge to explore the whole country, not just a few square kilometers of it
- You want to meet the locals, not more tourists
- You want to eat local food, not American food
- You want to discover the real culture of a place, not Americanized resort-ness
- You don’t like set schedules or activities
- You’re not afraid to speak the local language, bargain for a room, or take the local bus
- You crave the adventure of exploring the open country
