However, the ritual of preparing for a vacation often gets overlooked. It's not exactly the most fun part of the vacation process, but it's necessary.

Before one goes exploring the world, they must explore how they are going to do it. By taking this quiz, travelers of all kinds could learn more about themselves than they could have imagined!

Question 1

What Kind of Accommodations Do They Have?

When people imagine how they'd like to be treated on vacation, it can vary from a desire to take care of themselves and keep it simple to having every possible luxury at their disposal. The latter may even include being served without lifting a finger.

Question 2

Does it come with a pool?

There is nothing a traveler likes more than an opportunity to unwind while taking a dip in the pool. Whether it's the dog days of summer or during the middle of the winter, there is nothing more relaxing than taking a swim and relaxing those tired muscles. It might be one of the few things that all types of travelers can agree on. It might just be a matter of how they do it.

Question 3

Looking for good deals?

Whether the vacation plan consists of a short stay or something more luxurious, a good deal is always valued. However, for some, a good deal may not matter at all. If the plan is to travel light and keep it simple, perhaps the savings are already found within the travel plan as a whole.

Question 4

Where to eat?

One of the more fun aspects of travel is the opportunity to try things that are out of a persons comfort zone. Perhaps it is trying a food or restaurant that isn't available in their hometown. Travel gives everybody an opportunity to take advantage of this and do more than just explore their temporary surroundings.

Question 5

What kind of transportation is needed?

There are a few things that factor into how travelers get to their destination. Perhaps flying first class is a must. Maybe, hopping in the car and driving to the destination is all that's needed. Whatever the situation is, transportation has to be considered in order to get there. How to get there is at the heart of every traveler's vacation.

Question 6

What to do and where to go?

Some travel adventures require some serious planning. Not only due to money but also because having an itinerary keeps a traveler organized. With so many things to do at some destinations, timing is everything. Whether a traveler needs to be in certain places at a certain time or needs to fit a lot activities into one day, planning can make or break a vacation.

Question 7

Where in the world to go?

Some might say that it's not the destination that matters, it's the journey. However, when it comes to traveling, the destination factors in almost as much as the journey itself. Everybody has their own budget and time constraints to consider when planning their trip. Regardless of how a traveler needs to recharge, they must know where they are going first.

Question 8

Crossing borders?

There is plenty for a traveler to see in their own backyard but perhaps that's not quite enough? Owning a passport could be essential when planning that next trip. Especially if the plan is to go outside of the country. Whether the overall plan is basic or luxurious, a traveler may need to have one of these in order to have the freedom to go wherever in the world they want to go.

Question 9

To save or not to save?

Let's face it, not everybody can pack a few items, pick up, and go on their adventure. For some, planning a vacation could take a lot of time. All expenses need to be factored in. Whether it's itinerary, food, transportation, or other factors that come into play, making sure enough money is saved up is a factor that could make or break whether a trip happens at all.

Question 10

What to do for entertainment?

One concept of rest and relaxation that a lot of people try to take advantage of is the opportunity to be entertained. Whether that comes from within or it comes by attending a show or sporting event, we all need a little time to escape the realities of our own lives and place ourselves in an alternate universe for awhile.

Question 11

A camping we will go?

The great outdoors certainly isn't for everybody. However, the idea of picking up and backpacking across a country is becoming more and more popular. Terms such as "digital nomad" have become popular due to the work and vacation lifestyle that has been adopted by some today. It's not a lifestyle that's for everybody though. For others, they just like the idea of being one with nature. Others would rather live it up and be catered to.

Question 12

Pick Out A Toothbrush

For some people, good hygiene starts with a clean pair of pearly whites. Whether it's simply bringing a toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste or if the electric toothbrush, mouthwash, and floss is needed, most will probably think of of this before they head out their door. What type of importance is placed on oral hygiene on your travels?

Question 13

Are soaps and shampoos needed?

While it is pretty much assumed that most people will take soaps and shampoos with them on their travels, some may actually rely on their resources. This may not have much to do with luxury or simplicity, but it may depend on availability and how important it is to stay with trusted brands while away from home.

Question 14

Don't forget to use sunscreen

Sunscreen is an important but often overlooked essential item that is needed for travel, especially during the warm weather months or while visiting a warmer destination. If needed, it could save a traveler from spending their vacation time in pain. For other travelers, it's not even necessary. Depending on the itinerary, this may be an item that needs to be considered when planning the trip.

Question 15

How Full Is The Bag?

Whether it's a backpack or luggage, the amount of stuff one could take on a vacation can add up pretty quickly. Sometimes people take way more than they actually need. This results in cramming every last item until that bag or piece of luggage barely zips all the way to the end.

Question 16

Is a pillow needed for extra comfort?

Not only does a traveler need to be entertained on the long journey, but they also need to be comfortable. Especially if the traveler isn't steering the wheel. The question is, how can one truly feel comfortable on their travels? What do they use? Are they already wearing it or is this something they throw in their bag or suitcase?

Question 17

Is a jacket required?

Regardless of where the destination is, a traveler needs to be prepared for all of the elements. Perhaps one part of the world is rainy and damp? Maybe the hotel is known for keeping their air conditioning too cold at night? The trip may take the traveler camping outside at night? Whatever the case may be, it might be good to keep a jacket around.

Question 18

What kind of shoes will be worn?

A comfortable foot is a happy foot when it comes to the world of travel. This is true whether walking for miles is in the itinerary or a foot massage and a restful time is all that's needed. The comfort and well being of the feet is an important, but overlooked part of travel planning.

Question 19

Will every moment be captured?

An ongoing issue for many is whether to stay plugged in to social media and electronic devices or is it time to unplug for awhile and enjoy living in the now. Some even feel like travel is a good way for them to go off the radar and get in touch with their mind and spirit for awhile. Others may want to document and capture every moment for their adoring social media audience. Either way, technology factors in when going on vacation from day to day life.

Question 20

Putting everything into a toiletry bag

For some travelers, it's not enough to pack some essentials in their luggage or backpack. Their trip might require an actual toiletries bag in order to carry all of the extra hairbrushes, mouthwash, and other little accessories that would otherwise get lost or possibly make a mess of clothes and other items. The question is, does every traveler need this type of organization?

Question 21

Staying entertained during the commute

There's no doubt about the fact that reaching a destination can sometimes be a long process. Whether the destination is only a few hours from home or it takes many hours to get there, the journey can be tiresome and dull. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to stay entertained. This is especially true if the traveler becomes the passenger. How can one maintain their sanity through hours of boring travel?

Question 22

Is there enough time for a snack?

Although some forms of transportation require a traveler to sit for a long period of time, they can still work up quite the appetite. In some cases, they may want to keep themselves stocked with a few favorite snack items while others may not have the time or even care to bring something with them. It all depends on the preference of the traveler.

Question 23

How important is a bottle of water?

Keeping a bottle of water close by is never a bad thing, but it tends to get overlooked. Keeping an extra bottle of water handy could be the difference between staying in good spirits during a trip or losing critical amounts of energy in order to keep going. How important is a bottle of water to a traveler?

Question 24

First to the rescue?

Vacations can be a fun time for all, but sometimes, unexpected scrapes and headaches can occur. Some travelers might think ahead and have it covered while others may be more daring and leave the band aids and medicine at home. Whether it's too much baggage, a personal choice or precaution, this is one question that crosses the mind of every type of traveler.

Question 25

Don't forget to bring the money belt!

Traveling can be a lot of fun, but it can also take a bad turn if a traveler isn't prepared. This is why some people will go as far as to pack some important items in a "money belt." Some travelers may think it's an unnecessary precaution while others might find it's essential to their trip. Especially if where they're going or what they're doing factors in.
