The only day there isn’t sand in your bed is when you change the sheets. You’re the kind of traveler who thinks of clothes in layers, packing in terms of having the right foot gear and planning by trail map. These days, you understand outdoor adventures include responsibility, so you never travel without looking into giving back and your backpack always has a pocket dedicated to litter pickup. You prefer nature nurturer to nature lover and you’re never satisfied until you find out what’s over the next dune.
Everything Outdoors
You’re absolutely fine with labels, as long as they are affixed to 750ml bottles. You always travel with a corkscrew and follow any sign with grapes on it. You’re not just about wineries and tasting rooms, however, you discovered long ago that there’s a farmer’s market somewhere everyday and you intend to find them. #Farmlife is definitely your hashtag of choice, you like honey and olive oils that have a story to tell. Every day provides another opportunity for you to prove that life really is a tasting menu.
Coastal Foodie
You never leave home without your binoculars and field guides. You count your stars in tidepools and think ocean views are for spout scanning. You know the scientific names for seals and pull your mud boots on every chance you get. Back home, your screen saver is a saltwater aquarium. When you say “dive in” you mean it literally and keep your tanks or snorkel by the backdoor. You’ll gladly walk into a sunset, especially during the fall shorebird migration.
Marine Life Lover
Your perfect day contains plenty of show & tell. To you, traveling solo means you must be on a business trip. The first items you pack for vacation are snacks. You believe there’s no school like a tidepool and you’ve still never seen a touch tank you didn’t like. There’s also still nothing like a child’s first whale spout. In short, your favorite hashtag is #travelisforsharing.
