Jetting off for a Euro summer or keeping it domestic for an Aussie staycation? Whatever your destination, your travel style speaks volumes. Spot the traits and packing essentials that reveal which type of vacationer you are…
1. The over-packer
With a suitcase full to bursting point, you’re insisting on packing *those* shoes you’ve never taken out of the box before but will definitely need on your getaway, plus multiple hairstyling tools. If you’ve renewed your annual vow to not be the over-packer next time, the best thing you can do is invest in packing cubes for expert organisation and curate a capsule wardrobe of pieces you can mix and match at home and away.

2. The early riser
Up and dressed at the crack of dawn, two coffees down and full of beans, insisting the group goes to breakfast or beats the crowds to see the sights – sound like anyone you know? The early riser believes in seizing the day and optimising the sunrise views over a lazy morning by the pool.Â
3. The practical one
Often with qualities that overlap the early riser, the practical one has circulated a schedule to the group, exclusively packed 1 x sneakers and 1 x Birkenstocks as footwear, and had the foresight to pre-order groceries online to be delivered precisely 30 minutes after arrival. Every group needs a practical one.Â
4. The foodie
You’ve come armed with a list of eateries to tick off and refuse to waste a mealtime on a sad sandwich, as if your Instagram depends on it. Escaping with a foodie can be a first class travel hack as it takes the pressure off trawling Google for the best places for a delicious lunch, as long as you pretend to be a bit chill about it so that sharing each secret culinary destination feels like a pleasure not a chore.
5. The one who’s all about the content
Documenting absolutely everything and carefully crafting TikToks, there’s always one whose main goal on the getaway is content. If you’ve packed a mini ring light in your hand luggage, there’s a high chance this is you.Â
