Personality-Based Travel Planning: Big Five Psychology Meets Real Destination Experience

Most travel planning starts with a destination shortlist. We start with you: how you engage with novelty, structure, social energy and uncertainty on the road.

Personality is where we start when you want it to be. You can take the assessment, or we can work from a conversation on the discovery call. Either way, the plan is built around you.

What the IPIP-NEO is

The IPIP-NEO is a Big Five questionnaire built from the International Personality Item Pool, a public collection of personality items used in research. It measures the five broad traits and their 30 facets, and its reliability and validity have been tested in published studies.

That applies to the questionnaire. The way we match personality to places is our own method, and we explain it, limits included, on our methodology page.

Where our advice starts

Our recommendations start from personality research and are shaped by our own travel experience.

How we match you

We match you to places and pace using personality research, then check the result with you on the discovery call. Read the full method, including its limits, on our method page.

Every service we offer can be built around your personality profile. The mini quiz is free, takes about 3 minutes and gives you a first read. The full assessment takes about 15 minutes and gives you a detailed profile. Personality is where we start when you want it to be. You can take the assessment, or we can work from a conversation on the discovery call. Either way, the plan is built around you.

It’s useful whether you already know your destination or you’re still deciding. And it makes every conversation we have together more specific, more honest, and more useful.
