Half of the bucket lists of people boast of the dream to travel the world. It’s a no brainer. People
want to see the world and they all have reasons. People spend millions, go paces, do stuff, all this-for
experience. But how they assimilate this experience is different ball game all together. Here’s a look at
travel-alongers of the world.
1. I do-not move my ASS!
These people just go to the places and chill. Get them Eiffel view, Miami beach shack, pyramids,
caves, whatever. They want to sit, with their drink in hand and stay right there-inside. Do not
move my ass please- rather wipe it for me. You get them cozy rooms, bathroom with bathtub,
room delivery, and just do away with anything that can create a sense of time.
I wonder it would be interesting to put them on the poles and see how they behave in complete
loss of idea of time whatsoever…
It’s good to have them to relax and spend time the way you would want- as long as a kick works
to move their ass
2. I got the WIKI!
Rugged jeans, backpack, loney planet guide in hand, Google maps on phone maybe. This is the
wiki guy. These people have spreadsheets and spreadsheets full of plans for their travel. Resorts,
charges, places to go, clothes to wear, safe things, good ideas, itineraries, alternative itineraries,
what to avoid, who to avoid. You name it and they have it. You cannot change how they think
about how the whole trip is going to be. It ideally has to be exactly as planned out and expected.
Even the plan B should fit to the T.
It’s good to have them to free ride on your trip as long as they will shut up when asked!
3. The UNESCO hypnotized!
Oh! But how can I miss the Amiens Cathedral! It’s a UNESCO World heritage site! And you find
yourself shelling out 15 Euro to enter,1 Eur to pee and hours staring at supposedly beautiful
paintings or carving or architecture blah blah. Oh Please! Unless you are one of those who
understand all this stuff, its plain stupid to visit some place just for the tag. You feel cold when
you do, not when the temperature drops below zero…you feel something beautiful when it
pleases your eyes, not because its UNESCO site! Okay this is prejudiced but I can’t help it.
It’s good to have such people to ensure that you end up saying yes to people’s obvious
questions once you are back about “did you visit that famous place”… if you care enough…
4. I like to move it move it!
Guys, do we have water sports, trekking trails, night camping, campfire, skydiving, swin with
the sharks…SHARKS? Yeah. These restless people go straight to ‘what to do’ section online to
see what to do. They want it quick. Check in, change in, hit the road. Just do something…every
second counts, we have limited time...squeeze in a place here a joint there. These are people
who go on vacations for break and come back feeling more tired than before. They want to
ensure they have ‘been there-done it’ everything.
It’s good to have such people around to have experiences of life and be able to explore the
unexplored. The good part is they are not stubborn as long as you don’t mind to be on-your-
toes!
5. Take me home!
Home is where the heart is- and heart is always at home. These are cribbers who love home and
want to be there. They have to compare everything and demean it. Those things which can’t
be looked down as they are too good to be true, they end up missing what’s back home for
emotional factor. I want Indian food, look you can’t cross road here, this place is humid, that’s
dusty, why are there so many people, why is this so lonely!. They never go for days, they just run
a countdown to come back.
It’s good to have such people if….Oh come on, it’s so not good to have such people around.
There are many more categories, which i'd point out as and when i travel with more people...What? Whoz\ is most fun to travel with? All of them. Trips are meant to have high points with low points, Out of world experiences and goof ups. Trust me, a missed flight is an enjoyable memory as well...
It's aptly said, “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.”
