If you’re someone who enjoys studying personality tests or tools such as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator or the DISC Assessment, a new option has entered the field – the Human Design Type. While it’s not for everyone, many people find tools like this interesting and even useful as they navigate their daily lives. Combining systems like astrology, the chakra system, I-Ching, Kabbalah, and more, supporters claim that knowing your Type can provide insights that help you make all kinds of decisions. For example, this article we recently read in Forbes outlines how some claim that knowing your Type can help ensure you plan a holiday that will perfectly suit your preferences.
While we can’t say for sure if Human Design Type is the travel hack you’ve been looking for, the above article definitely gave us something to think about, and we wanted to share it with you for your consideration as well. Even if you don’t fully subscribe to the idea, there are undeniable benefits to thoughtfully planning a vacation based on what you know about yourself. Whether you’re ready to further explore your Human Design Type or just looking for help planning your upcoming trip, the insights below can help.
- The Manifestor – If you thrive in environments where you are free to act spontaneously, you may be a Manifestor. Make sure your travel plans include plenty of room for sudden changes as well as lots of new experiences. Consider destinations with a reputation for offering plenty of adventurous activities or spots that aren’t on most people’s radar yet.
- The Generator – Do you love being in situations where you can experience and respond to new things? If so, you may be a Generator. Look for destinations that spark excitement from the moment you find them or offer activities that closely align with your known interests and hobbies. Locations that offer ample room to immerse yourself in local culture are also often a win for Generators.
- The Manifesting Generator – Do you thrive in situations that offer plenty of variety, often at a fast pace? You may be a Manifesting Generator! Opt for a trip that allows you to move between several locations and experience multiple cities or cultures in one go. If you do stay stationary, be sure there are plenty of activities to keep you engaged, and aim for a combination of sightseeing, cultural experiences, and hands-on activities.
- The Projector – Do you prefer to actually relax on your vacation? Often considered less “pedal to the metal” than the previous Types, Projectors do best when they have included ample time for rest, rejuvenation, and connection in their trip plans. Look for destinations where you can soak up the richness of the culture with others in group tours or experiences, especially if there are options that align with your established interests or areas of expertise.
- The Reflector – If you find yourself matching the energy of others, you might be a Reflector. Sensitive and intuitive, Reflectors should consider travel plans that provide a harmonious atmosphere. Before booking, take your time and consider whether a destination resonates with your intuition and feels energetically right for you without the weight of outside pressures or expectations. Destinations with a reputation for being peaceful or transformative are a good choice for Reflectors, but exploring lesser-known areas of popular locations can also provide plenty of satisfaction.
