6 Types of People You Should Have in Your Travel Crew

I’ve been blessed with excellent travel partners. Reflecting on the different types of personalities, I realized you should have six types of people in your travel crew. With these people in your crew, you can almost guarantee the trip will succeed! They are:

1. Planners

These people LOVE organizing trips. They are the ones who get high off of finding great flight deals and don’t mind getting an itinerary together for the group. For them, Google Spreadsheets are life!

2. Photographers

They are the VISIONARIES of the group. They can spot a great photo opportunity from a mile away and can tell you what angles are the best. Most of your legendary IG pictures are due to this person’s skills.

3. Navigators

You will never get lost with them around. Drop them off in any city, give them a map, and they can find their way around town. These are the type of people who can follow directions, like “go 5 kilometers North”, without an issue.

4. Linguists

It only takes a few DuoLingo lessons before they can become conversational in a language. Their knack for languages allows them to converse with the locals easily. Language barriers are overcome a little bit easier with them around.

5. People Person

They make friends with EVERYONE in the most random places. They have the gift of gab and can get you into the most exclusive spots.

6. Problem Solvers

They are great at thinking on their feet when things don’t go according to plan. They are good at containing their emotions to identify the best solution to the problem at hand.
