Adventure Traveler Profile

You're an adventure traveler, with a great love of the outdoors and a passion for new experiences. The natural world is endlessly fascinating to you, and you’re willing to sacrifice comfort to revel in it.

You crave fresh air, warm sun, and expansive vistas. What you don’t like are crowds, big cities, and pretense of any kind. You’re happiest when you veer off the beaten track and expand your horizons by visiting places and doing things you never have before.

As an adventure traveler you follow the seasons: You're skiing or snowboarding in winter. You go sailing, surfing, boogie boarding, waterskiing, or scuba diving in summer and whenever you can get to the tropics. In spring and fall you're hiking, biking, and trying new activities. Will this be the year you go paragliding or zip-lining — if you haven't already?
