If you know me, you know that I love psychology, self-development and personal growth. So, I thought - why not combine it with travel content. That's how I thought of writing a blog about where to travel based on your personality type. One personality framework I’ve always loved is the 16 Personalities test (based on the MBTI), which groups us into 4 main categories and 16 unique personality types.
It’s a fun way to understand yourself a little better — your strengths, your weaknesses, and maybe even how you like to explore the world. I’m an ENFJ-A through and through, but if you’re not sure which type you are, you can take the free test here (just so you know — it’s an external resource, not my own tool, and I’m not partnered with them. I’m simply sharing something I find fascinating).
Once you know your type, I will share the best travel destinations tailored to each personality. To keep it fun and well-rounded, I’m sharing two destinations per type — one I’ve personally experienced, and one recommended by ChatGPT to add variety (including places I’ve yet to visit).
Quick note: This is just for entertainment and inspiration — so if you feel called to a destination outside your “type,” go for it. Travel is personal, and sometimes the best trips are the ones that surprise you.
INTJ – The master planner
Strategic, visionary, and future-focused — you see the big picture and create detailed plans to get there.
My suggestion: Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico - I think you'd be amazed by the Mayan culture and find yourself fully immersed in its vibrant traditions.
ChatGPT's suggestion: Petra, Jordan – historic, strategic, and layered with meaning — exactly the kind of place you’d research in depth and visit with intention.
INTP – The curious analyst
Analytical, inventive, and deeply curious — you thrive on ideas, puzzles, and understanding how the world works.
My suggestion: Singapore - because you love innovation and thinking outside of the box.
ChatGPT's suggestion: Iceland – dramatic landscapes and natural wonders that keep your mind buzzing with “how does this even exist?” thoughts.
ENTJ – The travel strategist
Decisive, goal-oriented, and bold — you love efficiency and always aim for the top experience possible.
My suggestion: Sweden - you love it when things run smoothly, and I immediately thought of Sweden. Everything has its place and just makes sense.

INFJ – The thoughtful voyager
Deep, empathetic, and purposeful — you travel with meaning and seek experiences that touch the soul.
My suggestion: India - because you don't just want a holiday, you want to travel to expand as a person. A yoga or wellness retreat came to mind immediately.
ChatGPT's suggestion: Kyoto, Japan – calm temples, serene gardens, and deep cultural roots to satisfy your love for meaning and quiet reflection.
INFP – The dreamy wanderer

ENFJ – The warm-hearted connector
Charismatic, encouraging, and people-focused — you thrive on creating connections wherever you go.

ENFP – The free-spirited explorer
