Keep score by tallying the total number of points and adding them up at the end. What's the first thing you do when you arrive at your destination? 6 to 11 points You're a beach bum. It doesn't matter where you go, all you need is some sun, sand, and that pretty much covers it. You're not concerned with cramming in cultural outings or visiting all the attractions, your goal is to sit by the shore and dri off until dinner. And if you need a change of scenery, the pool will do just fine. Without venturing far or fast, beach bums are in search of serenity rather than tourist traps. 12 to 17 points You're an explorer. You have a good idea of what you want to see, but you're all for figuring it out when you get there. Each destination is a quest to learn and understand more about the world and you want to explore as much of it as you can. You're psyched about visiting the famous sights, but if the opportunity presents itself to pick up and head off somewhere new, you're down for that, too. 18 to 23 points You're a free spirit. To you, there's no such thing as "wasted" time. You might spend your days reading a good book, wandering the streets, or sightseeing but you're equally as in- terested in conversing with the locals and diving head first into their culture. Free spirits use times of travel to discover who they are, what life means, and how they fit into it all. 24 to 29 points You're a party animal. Chances are, you (and your travel companions) already knew this about yourself. You're a social butterfly who can be found celebrating until all hours of the night and pouring yourself into bed sometime around dawn. Although the party animal might get a bad rap, there's no doubt that you're living every minute of the trip to its fullest—and boisterously encouraging others around you to do the same. 30 points You're a thrill-seeker. From the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean to the highest of heights, there is no excursion too extreme for you. Maybe you've already white-water raed the Grand Canyon or took a cross-country biking tour, but you're constantly in search of the next great adventure. rill-seekers want to test their limits in any environment, tempo, or activity.
