Have you ever wondered why some people love to travel, and some people could do without it? Which type are you? Are you the type that is so eager to see what the world has to offer, which is why you love to travel? Or are you a homebody and are okay with going on local excursions now and then? That has a lot to do with your Enneagram type.
The Enneagram And Travel
As you are aware, the Enneagram is a nine-pointed model that depicts nine different personality types. You may love it because you have used it to learn and grow by understanding your personality type. That is how you know your likes, dislikes, and behaviors. The Enneagram can also help you understand your love or dislike of travel. Let’s focus on the Enneagram types that are most likely to travel. The first one would be the Enthusiast.
Type 7 – The Enthusiast
The Enneagram Type 7 is the most apparent one that would love to travel because this type is constantly looking for various worldly experiences. They need excitement and plenty of it. Therefore, exploring different parts of the world is something they want to do.
According to Jaunty Everywhere, the Enthusiast is the type that radiates childlike joy and excitement and optimism in everything they do. However, they also have a practical side to them, which may be counterintuitive because they can solve problems when traveling and make things happen. The Achiever is another that loves to travel.
Type 3 – The Achiever
The Enneagram Type 3 is the highly ambitious one that wants to attain its goals. However, they also do so to look impressive. The Achiever intends to be the best in something important to them, and they want to be the most influential in that field.
According to Crystal Knows, this type is naturally enthusiastic, ambitious, and adaptable. Therefore, they would love to travel significantly if it can help their purpose or can help them reach their goals. For instance, if the Achiever wants to be a well-known Instagram star, they will do a lot of traveling to show that off. Similarly, the Challenger would be known as a traveler.
Type 8 – The Challenger
The Challenger is full of energy and power and wants to keep everything under control. Therefore, they make excellent leaders and motivators. Their abundance of energy would also make them the type that would naturally want to travel.
According to The Enneagram At Work, Type 8 is powerful, generous, and enthusiastic. They seek leadership and would be inclined to do a lot of traveling, likely for business purposes.
