Are you an allocentric traveler, a midcentric traveler or a psychocentric traveler?

• Allocentric:
  o Is intellectually curious about new place
  o Prefers a day filled with varying activities and challenges
  o Prefers unique underdeveloped destinations
  o Travel more frequently and for longer amounts of time
  o Purchase mostly authentic local arts and crafts instead of souvenirs
  
  
• Psychocentric
  o Are more cautious and conservative in their daily lives
  o Like structure and routine
  o Wants to travel to places similar to home
  o Prefers popular, well known brands of consumer goods
  o Do not seek out new ideas or experiences
  o Are more restrictive in spending

• Midcentric
  o Lies in-between the allicentric traveler and the psychocentric traveler
  o Enjoys new experiences within their comfort zone
  o Likes scheduled out trips but is flexible
  o Travels for relaxation
  o Desires a change of pace but only to the point in which it will not impinge on their ability to enjoy their travels
  o Travels to escape from daily life

So which one are you? Allocentric, psychocentiric or Midcentric? I personally am a midcentric person because I like to travel to new places but I also like to have some familiar comfort items. I also travel to relax and have a change in pace. I do think that over time your type can change depending on the stage of life you are in. With this information you can now determine where you should travel and how much you will enjoy your travel time and destination. And don't forget to travel as green as possible!
