Cultural Explorer

#DoTheShu

In the world of explorers, you are a Cultural Explorer. You seek constant opportunities to embrace, discover and immerse yourself in the entire experience of the culture, people and settings of the places you visit.

Not content to just visit historic sites and watch from the sidelines, you want to participate in the modern day culture as well.

You often attempt to converse with locals, attend local festivals, or go off the beaten path to discover how people truly live. You are positive, open-minded, curious, a risk-taker, flexible, easy-going, energetic and creative.

You’re most likely to be seen at heritage sites, cultural events, museums, festivals, B&Bs and hostels.
