You’re a water baby, so the beach is immediately where you head. Renting a cozy shack on the ocean, far from civilization, is your idea of bliss. You’re ruled by the moon, which pulls the ocean’s tides, so being near water heals and soothes your soul. No organized itinerary for you. You want to sleep in, relax and get lost in a great book.
You’ll never step on a big tour bus with a bunch of strangers. You need to travel incognito. Group travel for you means taking a trip with a few close friends who won’t make you look stupid, because you’re not the “tourist” type. You take the time to learn about the culture wherever you’re traveling, and prefer to go somewhere known for great food and culture.
Doing the research in advance helps you find those rare, out-of-the-way spots that are full of authenticity and character. Skip the resort hot spots and drive twenty extra miles to a tiny surf village. Camp under the stars by the ocean’s edge, or splurge on a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel in Bali. You also appreciate a great shopping trip, especially when you load up on well-priced antiques and unusual treasures--the rarer the better. Don’t stop in Paris or Milan. Instead, take a tour of the textile-maker’s shops in India, or hit the open market in Senegal, bargaining your way into an incredible price.
