The Traveler Personality Test
Answer the following questions, and note the letters associated with the answers that apply the most to you (between choices A, B, C and D). At the end of the test, tally up the number of A’s, B’s, C’s and D’s you got. One letter will beat them all and show you what kind of traveller you are.

Choose the statement that represents you the most:
A) I take short, reasonably well-planned trips.
B) I usually plan a long trip and arrange the significant segments of my journey.

D) I make a lot of short trips without preparation. I take every opportunity to leave for a few days unexpectedly.
Question 2: Travel and work. How do you deal with that?
Choose the statement that represents you the most:
A) I organize my life so as not to work while travelling. I leave on a trip for a few days or weeks and am 100% invested in my trip without working.

C) My remote work allows me to travel as I see fit, with no return date, according to my desires.
D) I try not to work while travelling since it’s only for a few days. I take advantage of it as soon as I can go on a trip. Travelling allows me to get out of my routine.

Choose the statement that represents you the most:
A) I plan everything, from flights to accommodations to activities. I often have little time at my destination, so I have to optimize my schedule to make the most of it.

C) I don’t like to plan my trips. I usually prepare for the first 3 nights of my multi-month trip.

Question 4: Your flight has just been cancelled. What is your reaction?
Choose the statement that represents you the most:
A) It’s the end of the world for you! You only have a few days to spend at your destination and your accommodation, transport and activities are already booked. You activate yourself to find a solution immediately.
B) As you travel long term, this is unpleasant, but you are so organized that you can find another option easily.
C) You tell yourself: life is full of unexpected events, rock ‘n’ roll!
Since you travel for a long time spontaneously, you stay calm (you also have one of those t-shirts as a reminder) and are open to new adventures. Bring it on!
D) Since you have yet to book your trip for a few days, you immediately look for a new opportunity.

If you have obtained a majority of B, you are: “an organized nomad“
You are an experienced traveller who knows how to combine planning and flexibility. You carefully plan the significant segments of your trip and the accommodations while leaving room for the unexpected.
You can work remotely, which allows you to finance your travels. In the event of an unforeseen situation, such as a flight cancellation, you remain calm and confident in your ability to find solutions. For you, a perfect trip is a balance between discovery and work.
Your travel insurance of choice: As you travel for several consecutive months, you must know if you are still insured by your provincial coverage (RAMQ for Quebecers). If your coverage is still in effect, you have the option to obtain travel insurance that will cover you for the entirety of your trip, for a maximum of 365 days. However, if you are no longer insured by your provincial coverage, you must buy expat insurance. Being insured for several months can be expensive. Adding a deductible of $250, $500 or $1000 could save you a lot. We explain this deductible tip here!
