Mostly 'D' responses?
You are a laid-back Type B traveler (so view the link above!)**The Result? It was a toss up between A or C... I think that's pretty accurate. I love to have everything planned, and I already admitted I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to traveling... But I also like to go with the flow and everyone knows I change my mind more than anything! So a good combo in my opinion :) What's the purpose of doing this whole thing? I think it is more about knowing how you travel best – with or without people, plans or no plans. That way, you don’t get stuck signing up for a situation that you hate because it’s not gonna allow you to do your thing.
