The world is a big, beautiful place filled with a breathtakingly wide variety of scenes, terrains, weather, cultures, food, and views. Almost as diverse as the world is humanity and our personalities — each unique, like a fingerprint, with diverse loves, desires, needs, and passions.
Which is why when it comes to traveling, going to a destination that will connect to and bring life to your specific personality is a wonderful thing. Below are 16 travel destinations correlating with the MBTI “personality types” (take the test here if you don’t know your type) given in the hope that you might use your travel time to visit a place you’ll love, and feel loved by.
