Most of us are probably a mixture of types, depending on where we are, the mood we’re in, and who we are with. On the whole, I’d say I’m the ‘photographer type’, I just can’t stop taking pictures of everything when I’m on holiday. I carry about 20 memory cards, and countless fully charged spare batteries for each camera….
1. The Adventurers
Extreme sports and adrenaline junkie types. The ‘must’ do must see everything’.
2. The Backpackers
They’re usually all about saving and making money whilst on holiday, avoiding anything stereotypically touristy (like a beach resort hotel), they go off the beaten track and throw themselves into the real culture of a place.

3. The Bigger & Betters
Whatever you see/do/eat – they’ve done it or seen it better somewhere else and take great pleasure in sharing this with you. They’ll have stayed in better hotels than ‘this’, been on more amazing/life changing excursions than ‘that’, seen more breath taking beaches than ‘this’ …..you catch my drift.
4. The Booze Cruisers (some overlap with ‘The Shameless’)
Getting as drunk as possible every night and day is the aim of their game.

5. The Photographers
They are compulsive camera clickers. Everything in sight is thought to be photo worthy. They cannot bear the thought of not capturing ‘everything’ on camera to take home and keep forever.
6. The Home Sickers
They look for pizza and chips on every menu. Anything unfamiliar is a no no. You will hear comments like “I can cook this better, we get better chipsย at home” and constant complaints, critiques and comparisons with home ย – in favour of home.

7. The Newlyweds
They wander around glued together like they’re in a romantic dream land.
8. The Loungers
They don’t really leave the resort much. Predictably, you will find them at regular spots or the same unofficially ‘reserved’ lounge chairs, where they can just lay out in the sun (or shade) all day, sipping drinks, people watching or reading books.

9. The Shameless
Outrage and shock factor govern their behaviour. Dare-devil shenanigansย and expressions of bravado (aka stupidity) are right up their street. They seem oblivious to any onlookers at any given time and relish in the reactions they get fromย others.

10. The Snooters
They seem to look down their nose at everything and everyone. ‘No way’ will they initiate conversation with anyone they don’t know. They never appear to be having a good time, passing disapproving looks ย – left right and centre. You wonder why they came.
11. The Story Tellers
You will spend some part of your holiday hearing all about their life story, plans for the future, problems at home, their favourite colour, and that time when…..
12. The Vloggers
You will spot the selfie sticks and mono pods a mile off. Gopros are brandished with pride. They appear to be talking to themselves much of the time and barely ever switch off the record button.

I’m definitely a combo of these depending on mood at the time but if I had to choose one, adventurers.
Cherryl
I really admire the adventurers, they brush that comfort zone aside and have a lot of fun ๐
