Where to Travel Based on Your Enneagram Type

No traveler is alike, and not every trip is suited to every individual. I’m obsessed with personality tests like the Enneagram, which break down people by their motivations and fears. I’m no social scientist, but I love to travel and connecting people with places I love for very different reasons. We’re all wired differently, and the great thing about this planet is there’s something for everyone. Based on your Enneagram type, here’s where you should travel this year and why:

Enneagram Type 1 // Rome

Justice and morality are important to you, and you’re always thinking about what’s the right thing to do and how to make things better. Rich in history and religion, Rome has long influenced the world far beyond Italy and even Europe. Head over to Vatican City to explore St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museum to see the handiwork of Michelangelo. In the Eternal City, you can explore the architectural beauty and ancient glory of Romans — all with gelato in hand.

Enneagram Type 2 // Dallas

You have a big heart and like helping people, which is why you need to travel to Dallas. You’ll fit right in with the southern hospitality mentality, and whether it’s tasting some authentic Tex-Mex cuisine or chatting with local artisans at the farmers market, you’ll enjoy some of those good simple pleasures in life like sharing a meal with friends or family.

Enneagram Type 3 // Paris

I get it: you’re a go-getter. The world is at your fingertips, and you’ve got plans to see all of it. With its vast art scene to its exquisite cuisine, Paris is a great place to start. Stroll through the Louvre, head up the Eiffel Tower, munch on macarons, flip through some classics at famed bookshop Shakespeare and Company. Heck, I did all this in one day, and you can, too. If you have time and an affinity for castles (who doesn’t?), plan a day trip to nearby Versailles.

Enneagram Type 4 // New York

You do you, that’s your mantra, and nothing is going to change your way. You crave to be special and significant and admire that in others, which is why you should head to New York City next. The City That Never Sleeps screams individualism from its expansive art collections at the Met to its limitless cuisine options, and you’ll fit right in. Catch a taping of a late night show or a Broadway showing, shop some of the best haute couture, take a stroll through Central Park. Boredom just isn’t an option!

Enneagram Type 5 // Prague

Being the investigator that you are, you seek to understand, to know the ins and outs. With its fascinating history, Prague is the spot to explore. This Czech city has lived under Nazi occupation and communism and has so much history to uncover. From its expansive Jewish Quarter to its stained glass cathedral, you’ll have plenty to dig into. And don’t forget to try a trdnelník pastry because I know you won’t regret it.

Enneagram Type 6 // Orlando

Being the loyal friend you are, you enjoy feeling connected with those close to you. You crave community, which is why Orlando should be on your bucket list. From Disney World to Universal Studios, this spot allows you to soak up the sun as well as some quality time with those closest to you. From enjoying each other’s company in the lines to screaming all the way down Splash Mountain, you’ll be transported to those simpler, childlike times.

Enneagram Type 7 // Barcelona

Spontaneity and just a darn good time are the bread and butter of your life, and that’s why Barcelona should be on your bucket list. The slower European way of life will tickle your fancy, and whether lounging at the beach or staying out all night trying new cuisine and drinks, the good times will be rolling. La Boqueria better be on your itinerary because you’ll eat the lively atmosphere and all the food right up.

Enneagram Type 8 // Brussels

Being the challenger you are, you like to push the envelope, and that’s not always a bad thing. You have big, altruistic dreams and are at the forefront of making these a reality, which is why Brussels is where you should travel next. More or less the capital of the European Union, Brussels is a hub for change, too, as it’s home to the Parlamentarium, which is a museum that walks visitors through the formation of the European Union. Not only do you get a better idea of how European government and politics works, but you can savor a juicy steak with a flute of champagne.

Enneagram Type 9 // Los Angeles

If you’re a 9 and just want everyone to get along, then Los Angeles is the spot for you. One friend wants to swim, the other wants to hike? No problem. In Los Angeles, you can hike at the Griffith Observatory and swim in the Pacific. Your dad wants to explore a city, your mom just wants to bum? No worries. This West Coast destination has both a bustling metropolis as well as peaceful escapes.

(AD) I could literally stare at my map from Trip M (AD) I could literally stare at my map from Trip Map - Push Pin Travel Maps for hours😍 (Honestly, I probably already have!) 

📍I am entirely impressed with how detailed it is, especially because my hometown of St. Louis is on the map.  I love being able to show my French friends *exactly* where I live because most maps aren’t big enough to show my mid-sized hometown of St. Louis. 

💪Although the map is plenty big – and I ordered the smallest size – it’s not excessively heavy, which makes it easy to move and install. 

🇱🇹Although their small team is based in Lithuania, they ship worldwide. They have a crazy big selection of colors and styles, and naturally, I picked the pink one. Are we surprised?

🌟As much as I love maps, a map is a map. But with Trip Map World, I can make it mine. The whole point of their maps is to personalize them, and I love that I can showcase my postcards. I love that I can grow into my Trip Map World board for years to come.

Why is being present so hard?!🙈Double tap if yo Why is being present so hard?!🙈Double tap if you agree!

It's so easy for me to get stuck in the past or focused on the future — so much so that I made this quote my lock screen for a looooong time. It's funny how forgetful we are as humans: We long for the future, but once we're there, we crave the past.

🌍I love how travel reminds me to be present. When you've saved up, planned and dreamed about a trip for so long, OF COURSE you want to savor each moment. But it's a great lesson for our everyday life, too.

❓How do you keep yourself in the present? I like keeping a gratitude journal. Tell me in the comments!

Not to be dramatic or anything, but those nine day Not to be dramatic or anything, but those nine days truly changed my life😍 About 7 years ago, I was taking AP European History and heard about a summer trip to Europe with my high school. London, Paris, Florence and Rome.

Yep, we were that group of students walking around Europe with our lanyards and headsets. I got those jitters when I saw Europe in its glory for the first time. And I still do.

If you would’ve told me then that I’d move to France during a global pandemic, I’d tell you you’re complètement fou.

But here’s the thing: that trip with @EFtours stirred something inside of me, and it has yet to settle. It was a longing to see and experience the world with my own two eyes. And it inspired me to start my travel blog, to continue with my French studies, to study abroad and to move to France.

This ain't sponsored (but I sure wish it were!), and I mean with my whole heart those few days in high school set me onto this path. And for that, I am beyond grateful.

🤔What about you? Can you point to a specific moment or experience that set you on the path you're on today, all these years later? Tell me about it⬇️

One thing you rarely hear about life abroad: so mu One thing you rarely hear about life abroad: so much dang paperwork and many complicated processes🙈

💰I have several bank accounts in the U.S. and France. I'm paid in euros, but I still have recurring subscriptions on my American credit card. I'm also all about growing my savings and getting those credit card points on my American account.

What👏to👏do?👏

❌I tried sending money directly from my French bank account to my American credit card bill. It worked, but there was bigger fee. And it was only to pay off charges, not grow savings.

✅But then a friend introduced me to @TransferWise and now I am set! I can easily transfer between my different checking accounts for the lowest rates I ever did see. Plus,  I'm still able to grow my savings and investment accounts in America.

❓OK but what is it?! @TransferWise is a third-party site that transfers money between accounts from all over the world. They price compare their rates with other companies. Their site is super easy to use and explains the whole process. And the rates were crazy low and not as high as the transfer I made directly through my banks.

Have you ever had one of those “it’s a small w Have you ever had one of those “it’s a small world” moments?🌏

☀️Back in 2017, I spent a summer in Toulouse. One weekend, my friends and I went on a road trip to a slew of villages in southwestern France. They were truly some of the best days of my life: we stayed in my friend’s castle🏰(casual), we swam in the river + sunbathed, we drank wine + played games, we explored idyllic villages.

One of my favorite spots with the sweetest of nostalgic memories was in a small village called Laguépie. Population: ~600. Whenever people asked me my favorite place in France, nobody ever knew where I was talking about. It wasn’t in the magazines or travel blogs. (Ahem, it’s on mine!)

➡️Fast forward to 2020. I’m preparing to leave for France and am keeping a close eye on my teaching program’s Facebook page. An American girl posted in the group about her time in Marseille, and we began messaging. She helped me with a million and one things during my move to France, and we’ve stayed in touch and become good friends.

Earlier this month, I visited Albi to see her along with her French boyfriend, who’s from a small village. He never told me the name, but as we were sipping wine and eating saucissons, he said something about Laguépie.

“WHAT?! Did you say Laguépie? I’ve been there and fell in L O V E!” He said, no, we can’t be talking about the same place, no one ever goes to my hometown😂 But after showing him my photos, including ones the village’s castle @chateau_louvielcastel reposted, it was one and the same.

Can someone queue “Invisible String” because what a small world this is that we’re all connected. Do you have any wild stories like that? Tell me in the comments⬇️

What do you like searching for on Pinterest?📌 What do you like searching for on Pinterest?📌

✈️I love finding travel destinations + itineraries, easy recipes and decorating ideas. My guess is that you've found some blogs and ideas you love through this site. 

😍I'm even more obsessed with how @pinterest serves to grow my blog and brand.

Currently kicking myself for not getting on the Pinterest for Business train sooner because this site is truly a game changer. I went from a personal account with a wedding board and gluten-free board with recipes I’d never tried to a bustling business board with more than 400,000 monthly visitors. And most of that is not from advertising.

📈I took a free @jennakutcher webinar on how to use Pinterest for Business and saw massive growth. And the best part? You can schedule out content for an entire week in just 30 minutes to an hour.

Best day trips from Nice No. 4: Èze🏰 This med Best day trips from Nice No. 4: Èze🏰

This medieval village enchanted me so much so I almost teared up as we left because I just didn’t want to go. If there are castles, sea views and charm, I’m so there. And Èze checks all these boxes✅ 

😍This medieval village is a labyrinth of cobblestone and windy paths, but the steps are worth it. There are shops and restaurants along the way to the top where you get sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. 

🌵Once you make it to the top, you have to pay to enter the Jardin Exotique d’Èze, and I can't recommend it enough. (Be sure to ask about the combo deal that includes both the garden in Èze and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild nearby.)
