Travel personalities and behaviors.

The other amazing learning about traveling I think is in knowing yourself, your limits, comfort zones, adaptability be it a seat or a bed given to sleep or the food you get on road or the weather. I said other because you already appreciate new people you see on the way, culture, the history, geography and etc of the places you are covering on the way. And how beneficial such travels are to understand behaviors, people with whom you are traveling, to know their real side, sometimes when they touch your heart or even when their acts deviate from what they always proclaim or through their talks they hurt you and they don’t realize that others are noticing and writing.

I thought I should I write down behavior or personalities I saw in such official group travels.  Your list may be long or different but below is what I have observed.

The Kid:

Someone who losses his car’s insurance paper and driving license just before the day of travel, and so making him unable to bring car and puts other car less beggars in limbo. :)  Stupidest excuse you see.  

The Parasite:

They are like head lice, which infest a creature’s hair and suck blood from the scalp. They don’t bring their tooth paste, deodorant, face wash, sometimes soaps and even towels too. They know that others will.   

The Preacher: he will be someone senior in your office, the one who preaches all the time about morality, collaboration, diversity and traveling whole world and art of giving. He will decide and prepare the sitting chart for everyone’s car and will shamelessly put himself in the most comfortable car, rest is diversity. During travel he complaints for AC all the time and ironically shares survival stories he read in various books.

The Looser: The looser is the one who doesn’t own a car, doesn’t have a voice to his choice, adjustable, and sits in the middle seat or at the back seat always. Choosers cannot be beggars.  

The Paris Hilton: this applies to girls who think they are extremely beautiful ,so come in their hot party wear and bring tantrums in  dusty , long  and sweaty travels. I might be a little rude here but who cares and this was important.

The Shopaholic: these are specially the women who say they are earning only to live happy, specially to buy new dresses and stupid materialistic accessories every next weekend. They don’t think buying and wearing new clothes is done for men but it's just for their inner satisfaction. They buy a lot even on travel and can change dresses in filthy pub’s restroom.

  

The Royal kids: They are the men/women who always like others to wait for them. When everyone is ready and waiting outside to leave, these royal kids are still in their rooms, showers who knows where and they will come at least 30 minutes late. They take time even if they dress in a short, t-shirt and slippers. And they do repeat it almost always, shamelessly forgetting the past. Keep it up. 

The best calendar models: They are the real travelers I believe. The moment you try to click any photograph using your personal camera, these models will jump into your frame. And then will force you to take their solo pictures, for face book. Later as a courtesy they will never even ask if you want your photograph too. The moment they get clicked in one camera they will look at someone else camera and jump into their frames.They never bring their own camera, because it’s difficult to take care and bear the pain of holding a camera all the time. And interestingly when you ask them they say, because they already knew others will bring their camera.

The hungry lot: Wherever you go whatever you order to eat these people who you know little will eat a lot from your plate, their will sip from your soup without asking as if you are childhood friends. They think this is cool and this is real bonding. They eat veg and non-veg both types of food , they are simply your manner less friends. Only after their bellies gets filled they will pass you anything, if left in serving plates if you are sitting at the other side of the table, unfortunately.

At the end: I don’t want to put everything in this blog, I have so many things to write, how people behave in such travels. I am sure you too would have observed such things , behaviors in your travels. And I've enjoyed traveling with such great personalities ;).
