Not Just Another Pretty Place
Not one to wait to be told where to go, an Explorer feels confident to roam on their own, with purpose. If you are an Explorer, you seek adventures big and small — from mom-and-pop local eateries to lesser-known galleries and hikes. It’s not to say the big draws aren’t on your agenda; it’s just that much like the original explorers who voyaged the high seas, you seek new lands and new people to discover.
So, what does a typical vacation look like for you? To start, erase the word “typical” from your vocabulary. You treat every location as unique, special, and worthy of investigation. And it’s not just beautiful vistas you’re after—you want to learn about culture, escape the city, and forge your own path. That may mean trekking through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaii or dining downtown Playa del Carmen in Mexico. It could mean hours spent in the jungle repelling down waterfalls or hours spent at a Mayan archeological site, uncovering every nook and cranny of history. Your exploration may look like an underwater snorkel, a long walk down a stretch of untouched sand, or a night out at a local hotspot, chatting with residents about their favorite area eateries.
At the heart of each and every Explorer is curiosity—a need to ask questions and seek answers. Why do people in this country brew coffee in this way? How does Costa Rica’s cloud forest differ from other forests? What makes this Mexican beach town unique and special? What can I learn from this place I’ve travelled to? Where to next?
What truly makes someone an explorer at heart is the search for something—often bigger than themselves. So, pack your compass (or use a handy phone app), a sturdy pair of shoes, and a sunhat, because as an Explorer, your vacation days are bound to be long, active, bright, and full of unexpected twists and turns.
