What Your Summer Holiday Says About You

Ever wondered what your holiday destination of choice says about you? Whether you recoil at the thought of the busy crowds of Paris or jump at the chance of an adventure weekend in the middle of the African jungle, we all have certain holidays that we love and others that we would rather avoid. So, here is what your holiday says about you…

THE CITY BREAK,

Travel - TGJ.05

SUCH AS: Paris, New York, London, Rome

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You like the finer things in life, from fine dining to visiting exciting new bar openings and enjoying the bustling nightlife. You can also spend hours wandering around art museums, watching theatre productions and taking in the city sights. As your friends sit complaining that their feet hurt and declaring ‘but all churches look the same’, you are busy planning the next church you are going to see (just to piss them off). What else are cities best for? The shopping, which you make sure you dedicate plenty of time too. Hey, having a wardrobe this dapper doesn’t come easy you know?

THE CITY-BEACH BREAK,

Travel - TGJ.03

SUCH AS: LA, Miami, Barcelona

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You know your celebrity culture and like to live like one too. You fancy yourself as a bit of a playboy and are more than happy to party all night and recover by the beach bar or swimming pool all day. You can normally be found chatting to a new group of bikini-clad women by the pool, sipping on a Whisky Sour and planning the evening ahead. Avec your new lady friends of course.

THE ROAD TRIP,

Travel - TGJ.02

SUCH AS: Gobi Desert- Mongolia, Amalfi Coast – Italy, British Columbia – Canada, Tasmanian Peninsular – Australia

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You find it hard to stay in one place for too long and enjoy exploring new things and meeting new people on a daily basis. You’re carefree, but still enjoy culture although you can’t be tied to one thing for too long – except your car of course.

THE ISLAND GETAWAY,

South Nilandhe, Maldives

SUCH AS: The Maldives, St Barthes, The Seychelles, Bali

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are perfectly happy to recline in a horizontal position with nothing but a good book and the sun for two weeks solid. You like to surround yourself with beautiful people to accompany the stunning views around you and you look great with a tan and pair of sunglasses. If you come back from your holiday without a tan? Well, what was the point of going, right?

THE ADVENTURE HOLIDAY,

Travel - TGJ.01

SUCH AS: A helicopter safari in Ethiopia, trekking through the amazon, whitewater rafting in Peru

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You’re a rugged traveller who loves all things outdoors, exploring new landscapes, finding hidden treasures and being on your feet. You’re physically extremely fit and take pride in this, finding ‘relaxing’ to be a waste of time. Your competitive spirit has you climbing mountains and sailing oceans as often as you can.
