Are you a serial traveler?
You may be wondering what is a serial traveler exactly or if you fall into that category. Do you often travel for pleasure and work? Any excuse is good to escape to that restaurant that everyone talks about in Bilbao or Mexico? Do you move through an airport with the same elegance and glamor as if you worked for an airline? Does your passport accumulate some of the most exotic stamps? If you mostly answered that you do have qualities of serial traveller. We tell you what else defines this type of inveterate traveler and addicted to accumulating destinations and flight miles.
1. THEY ARE ABLE TO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY NOT TOO LONG IN ADVANCE AND CAN PACK A SUITCASE IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES
Whatever your destination. Luggage will tend to be light and carefully packed. Not without things like an extra change of clothing because – between the inclement weather, airline performance issues and the usual overbooking – you never know when you might end up having to spend an extra night in a remote destination. There will also be that pile of cables and chargers for various electronic devices without which no modern citizen can leave home. Good and abundant reading. In addition to a versatile and possibly waterproof jacket, a pair of shoes with which to walk endlessly and that dress that is as good for an afternoon on the beach as it is for a fancy dinner.
two. THEY HAVE A FAIRLY COMPLETE VACCINATION CARD
... And they are very up to date with the tetanus vaccine every 10 years. In addition to always traveling with a small kit with band-aids, aspirin, paracetamol and loperamide in case of traveler's diarrhea.
A strong passport
3.**THEY PERFECTLY DEVELOP IN ENGLISH**
... And they are able to babble and understand each other in any Romance language (in case their mother tongue is one of them) . The most experienced can also have a more or less simple conversation in Japanese, German, Mandarin or some other language that is not necessarily easy to learn.
Four. THEY ARE NOT USUALLY SHY
Something that allows them to make friends easily, strike up conversations with complete strangers and end up having a network of friends in all kinds of countries and continents that can always come in handy if you need a sofa to sleep on for a couple of nights.
5. THEY DRIVE OUT THEIR COMMON AND CURRENT TOURISTS WHO LACK TRAVEL ETIQUETTE
You know who we mean. Those who are unable to get to the right on the escalators of the subway, who crowd in front of doors and access roads preventing the entry of other people, who stand in endless queues to see the Mona Lisa ignoring other boxes Leonardo da Vinci most interesting (but less famous) places in the Louvre and who have the bad taste of taking selfies with a stick included.
Who does not have a photo with the Mona Lisa?
6.**THEY ARE VERY CLEAR IF THEY PREFER A CORRIDOR OR A WINDOW**
Among those of the corridor clan are the tall ones or those who favor mobility and walks on the plane. Among those at the window are the romantics who want to keep that image of the city when they move away and those who have the facility (and luck) to sleep in all kinds of places. Both clans will avoid the middle seat at all costs and they may have some allegiance to at least one or two airline alliances. Because if there is something that an inveterate traveler likes, it is be able to board first , go through a faster queue at security or secure a better seat.
7. MORE THAN ONE AIRPORT AND TWO
...and they can reach schedule a stopover based on where they feel like stopping or if they have an errand to run. Chicago deserves a stopover for its Mexican cakes, JFK is always a faster option than Miami for a connection and the shops at Heathrow or Barcelona are ideal destinations in case of a long connection in which to kill a little time and spend a little money. money.
8.**IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET NERVOUS BEFORE FLYING**
accumulate so many flight miles that, if at some point flying gave them respect, they have already forgotten the feeling. And they take the plane with the same ease as the subway or the bus, even if turbulence lurks.
9. WHEN THEY COME BACK HOME THEY INVARIABLY GET THE SLOWDOWN
But they don't let their bags sit unpacked for days to reminisce about their adventures with them, nor do they harass friends and co-workers with endless travel photo shoots on their mobile...
10. INSTEAD THEY START PLANNING THEIR NEXT TRIP
Because they always know what their next destination will be and there is no time when they are not thinking about which will be the next city to discover , the city that they will visit again, the new roadtrip that awaits them, the new excursion or simply the weekend getaway that can be used a lot.
The best sunsets: from the window.
