Great point. I had not thought of the different type of travelers before. I would have to say I like to visit a country for a few weeks, get out see the cities, and locals. I also have to see some of the natural wonders as well.

I have dated guys that are afraid to leave the county, let alone the country. I quickly realized I need someone more open to foreign travel.

Traveler...I like to have a home base, but I love to learn about other cultures and see other countries first hand. Although I HATE long flights....a lot.

I'm a paid nomad (truck driver) and tired of it. I've been stuck at home with a busted knee cap for 11 weeks now and can't say I miss the truck a bit. I hope to be where I can tell the boss to shove it in another year.

Even being gone for my job, I still like to throw a bag of clothes in the pickup and disappear for a week or two. I live about equidistant from Buffalo, Pittsburg, and Cleveland, and have friends from here to Alabama to Wyoming. I've liked the upper midwest since the first time I went through in the truck (what's the chances of being flooded into a truckstop on your first trip through Nebraska??) and decided to go out to a little town called Curtis Nebraska to see a friend there last February. I stopped and saw 4 more friends on the way home, plus my sister. 9 days wasn't really enough time but it's what I had available.

I like to get somewhere and get off the big roads to see what I can find. Getting lost is the best way for me to learn my way around someplace new. I'm not really interested in traveling abroad. There is a lot of terrain to cover in this country yet and doubt I will get to see all that I want to see.

Nomad, for sure. Growing up, we were constantly moving (for my father's job, not military); longest I lived somewhere was 5 years. Then I moved away for college and since then, haven't lived anywhere for longer than 4 years.

I sort of consider myself a TCK as we moved between the US and Canada and I'm a first generation American, so I grew up more European and most of our travels were overseas.

I don't foresee myself ever wanting to live in the same city for more than 4 years; like ldrill, I get itchy feet.

I also love to travel on top of my nomadic nature.

It's a really good point, deddancer - I sometimes wonder if I'll be able to find a guy who will be willing to live such a nomadic lifestyle. And I think it's interesting what you mentioned about TCK's marrying later. Makes sense since we can't keep ourselves in one place for longer than a few years

With out a doubt a nomad.
Born in Germany, pops was Airforce moved back to the states when I was 2.By the time I was 18 I had lived in 5 states and 10 houses. Joined the Navy and did 2 world crouses in 3 years. Left the Navy and started driving truck, 20 years later and over 3,000,000 miles later Get the feeling I have done some traveling.
