MBTI Types on Vacation!

This seems pretty accurate. As an INTJ I rarely enjoy camping or road trips, and am constantly looking for educational opportunities in the places to which I travel. I do enjoy going to beaches, though, because they are so different from what I usually do. When I'm at home, I spend a lot of my time reading, learning, and coding, so stepping away from that and being able to just be in the sun without worry is nice.

My favorite vacation was a beach vacation road trip. I spent three weeks wandering along the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic coasts. No plan, no destination, just freedom, exploration, and adventure.

INTP checking in... I'm an avid traveler who enjoys all types of travels. However the one thing they usually have in common is some sort of challenge.

The types of vacations I enjoy are international backpacking (I'm writing from Budapest right now!!) where you are constantly seeing new things, navigating culture, currency and twisting roads and where every day brings something new.

I also really enjoy wilderness backpacking. I love the freedom of being away from computers, cell phones and watches. You eat when you're hungry, rest when you're tired and sleep when it's dark. I really like getting into the rhythm of hiking for hours as well and each twist in the trail brings you to someplace new. I also feel really at home in the wilderness, it's when I'm most at peace with the world.

Road trips are great too for the freedom of being able to go wherever you want whenever you want.

That's I guess what they all have in common as well, I don't plan my trips to the last detail I like to take things as they come.. On that note, anyone have any suggestions for places to see in Central Europe? :)

Close to Central Europe (at least it felt that way...) I lived in Riga for half a year working for the foreign ministry. You should definitly take a weekend there and now in summer you can enjoy the beach in Jurmala as well! If you like back packing you can stay in Riga Old town hostel for like 6 Euros a night. Totally worth it. Tallin is likewise nice for a weekend is 4 h away on a very comfy bus costing you 15 E one way from Riga. Also in Central Europe Prague is a must.

But what you REALLY should do is go to Georgia in Central Asia!! I used to live in Tbilisi doing research and let me tell you it's an awesome country that really hits you when you arrive - like nothing you have ever seen before or could even imagine. Maybe it's not for staying too long, but defenitly for a couple of weeks of spectacular nature and city views and exploring adventure. Tbilisi city at 00.00 is the coolest place on earth.

...And yes I realise my answer was only remotely related... But go there INTP!! (I'm taking my own INTP because I know he will love it. He really loved Riga too btw ;)

Thanks @Fawcon for the suggestions! ...*googles*...

Beautiful surroundings are one of the things I value most. I like for there to be things to do and I'd like to have a list of those things at the start of the vacation but I don't want to pre-arrange things for the most part even after getting there. If there is comprehensive list of scheduled excusions and activities which keeps us occupied day after day, I just get really annoyed. It's best just to relax. One of my best memories was staying in a cabin in the woods. We read books, played a little scrabble, took a rowboat out on the lake and things like that. It was quiet and perfect for unwinding.

What? The notebook isn't in the closet

This seems about right for me. I like the beach as long as I get to walk around or jump in the waves. Jet skiing or something like that is fun too. My mom is INTJ and she and I are always talking about how we don't get how our relatives can just sit there for hours. I guess I know why now.

I'm an INFP who'd rather chew his leg off than vacation at the beach. My best vacation was a road trip by myself through the Colorado Rockies. Never felt lonely and the natural beauty was soul-satisfying.

Just got back from Chincoteague. This is always a fun trip. I've always done a lot of road trips to historical sites and have collected many a NPS brochere. ESTP here. Should be going back to Monticello soon.
