Results

If your total score ranged from 3 to 5, then you are quite ready to travel. Go for it! And check out the USTOA Vacation Personality Quiz to find out the right type of package or tour for you.

If your total score ranged from 6 to 8, then you probably want to travel, but are not quite sure about planning a vacation right now. Perhaps you would enjoy a shorter trip, or prefer to travel to a more familiar destination. Or, you may be tempted by the many bargain travel packages available.

If your total score ranged from 9 to 12, then you might not be ready to travel just now. Consider for a moment what the benefits of traveling might be: taking a break for yourself, seeing a new place, meeting interesting people. You may want to consider an escorted tour, where you travel with a guide and a group of other people, and almost all the details are taken care of. This may be a good time to start researching the many possibilities, and planning for that future dream vacation.

Whatever your level of readiness to travel, we would like to encourage you to find out more about how your personality might help you choose a vacation. You can, by taking the USTOA Vacation Personality Quiz.
