An Eco or Nature-Tourist will do for me. I believe there are so much marvelous natural wonders out there that have not been seen.

It would be amazing to see the natural wonders of the world!

I'd say museum. It's fascinating to learn about other cultures and their history.

I completely agree! Seeing the sights and sampling the food are both big parts of learning about another culture.

There's an old bridge in Cornwall that I just love. Just a small, covered walking bridge. Very gorgeous.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Foodies and scenery mostly. Museums and architecture tend to be very boring to me. I would visit all kinds of restaurants except that i won't eat sea food.

I'm definitely a mix! I love to make my travel immersive - I want to experience as much as I can when in a foreign place. I love to try different foods, and I'm always up for a new adventure that I couldn't experience back home.

I agree, Amagine! I love seafood (but, then again, that may in part be due to me being from a tropical island)!

I would be a mix, as well. I love eating new foods, but I also like to explore. I don't enjoy museums, unfortunately.
