The results are:

• Sit back and enjoy traveller

  You are a sit-back-and-enjoy traveller! You love when someone guides you from place-to-place and takes all the planning off your plate. Lynn Sedgewick, a Certified Travel Consultant in Milton, Ontario, recommends vacations run by tour companies like Trafalgar Tours, Insight Vacations and Globus. For a more relaxed getaway, look into cruising. You'll visit a variety of locations but you get to choose what you do at each port, whether it's exploring by foot, joining a day tour or staying on board the ship and lazing by the pool!

  Wherever you choose to vacation, don't leave home without these travel essentials.

• The romantic / leisure lover

  You see a vacation as a time to sit back, relax and not worry about anything except lying on the beach and enjoying good food and drink. All-inclusive vacations will be your best bet for a leisurely vacation. There are hundreds of options all over the Caribbean, but Lynn Sedgewick, a Certified Travel Consultant in Milton, Ontario, recommends the Royal Hideaway Playacar (Mexico), Paradisus Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) and Sandals Grande (St. Lucia). Sign up for some local tours when you're ready to explore.

• Eco-adventure traveller or nature lover

  A nature-inspired or ecological adventure best suits your tastes for a vacation. You care about the natural world and want to learn about it without destroying it. According to Certified Travel Consultant Lynn Sedgewick, a trip to Costa Rica might be your dream vacation. If you're up for an even bigger adventure, consider a trip to Africa (start your planning by checking out what Goway Tours Africa offers).

• The can't sit still traveller

  Go, go, go! You just can't sit still, so you need a vacation that will keep you stimulated day after day. If you have never been to Walt Disney World, now's the time to try it. Las Vegas's flashing lights and vibrant entertainment scene may also appeal to you. Lynn Sedgewick, a Certified Travel Consultant in Milton, Ontario, also recommends Britain/Ireland Fly and Drive Tours where you set the agenda and discover your destination according to your interests. Wherever the wind takes you, don't leave home without these travel essentials!

• The adventurer

  You're an adventurous traveller, always pushing the limits and looking for something new and exciting to experience. If you're not satisfied with sitting on a bus and seeing the world through a window, try something more hands-on with vacations through Trek Holidays, Collette Tours or Polar Star, which venture to places like the Antarctic, New Zealand and Africa and go off the beaten path. Depending on where you are, consider activities like ziplining through tall trees, skiing down some of the world's biggest mountains or learning how to surf or scuba somewhere delightfully exotic.
