We all know about the Myers-Briggs personality test or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). (If you haven’t taken it yet, here’s where you can find out which of the 16 personality types you are.)
It’s hard to get into detail on this complicated and intricate personality inventory, but basically, the MBTI consists of four sets of letters.
E and I are for Extraversion and Introversion, which indicate whether you derive energy from being around people or spending time alone respectively.
S and N are for Sensing and Intuition, which indicate whether you are more aware of concrete facts and details or prefer to rely on your intuition and look at the big picture.
T and F are for Thinking and Feeling, which indicate whether you make decisions based on logical analysis or your values and the sake of harmony among the people involved.
J and P are for Judging and Perceiving, which indicate whether you prefer your life to be well planned out or to keep your options open and go with the flow.
Whether you’re an independent critical thinker like an INTJ or a fun-loving thrill-seeker like an ESFP, understanding your personality type can help you gravitate towards the things that fulfil you and thus live your most meaningful life while being true to yourself.
That applies to the places you travel and your travelling style too. Your Myers-Briggs personality type can shed light on which locale would be a perfect fit for you. Find out below which places to add to your travel list, based on your MBTI.
1. INFP: The Idealist

Go to: Venice, Italy
Venice feels like a city removed from the rest of the world, still grand and beautiful despite looking a little worn these days. There are awe-inspiring monuments such as the San Marco’s Basilica and Teatro la Fenice, a labyrinthe of winding alleys that reveal one-of-a-kind stores, as well as the city-wide masquerade festival (Carnevale di Venezia) that will make you feel like you’ve indeed entered another world.
This is definitely a place for dreamers and romantics.
The imaginative INFP will be drawn to this stunning city that inspires the imagination and evokes fresh ideas.
2. ISFP: The Artist

Go to: Florence, Italy
For the ISFP, travel is a wonderful dreamy adventure — even better if the trip involves lots of cultural and/or historical attractions. Where better to visit than a city with some of the greatest Renaissance art, including the famous works of Michelangelo and Raphael?
Get delightfully lost in this art-soaked city, where impressive palaces, cathedrals, and sculptures can be found around every corner.
3. ENFP: The Inspirer

Go to: Boracay, the Philippines
Life’s a party to an ENFP, and everyone is invited to it. With an inherent zest for life, the ENFP is always looking out for new adventures, and often seeks stimulation from activities involving lots of people.
A place like Boracay would be a paradise for the free-spirited ENFP, as there are plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities for thrillseekers, including parasailing, cliff-diving, surfing and rave clubbing.
4. ESFP: The Performer

Go to: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
For the ESFP, a rewarding vacation is one that involves a sense of adventure. ESFPs don’t like to abide by an itinerary, and would prefer to go wherever their mood takes them. They are spontaneous and adaptable travellers who appreciate flexibility.
Rio de Janeiro has all the life and chaos that an ESFP can handle and appreciate. Not only does it boast scenic beaches, it also offers the vibrancy of a South American metropolis.
The intrepid and street-smart ESFP not only has the chops to take on the treks and tours of the Amazon basin, but also navigate the Brazilian streets.
5. INTP: The Thinker

Go to: London, England
INTPs are drawn to destinations where they can explore new cultures, ideas, and ways of life. They might even pursue long-term jet-setting lifestyles. Their thinking and intuitive side enjoy the digital nomad life, which makes London a stimulating city for them.
It offers fresh attractions, museum exhibitions, and events all year round, as well as historic monuments and serene gardens when INTPs need to recharge their introvert batteries. With novelty stores, tea shops, and pubs, the INTP will also get a chance to meet new people when they’re feeling sociable.
6. ISTP: The Mechanic

Go to: Iceland
When travelling, ISTPs like to explore with their senses. They are curious but rational, which makes them highly adaptable to new environments. They are also independent and inclined to forge their own paths, so places off the beaten track appeal to them, especially places close to nature that they can explore on foot.
Iceland’s gorgeous scenery and gamut of outdoor activities make it the ideal place for the ISTP to connect with nature and unwind.
7. ENTP: The Visionary

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Quick-thinking ENTPs dread mundanity and routine. They like to be energised by their environment, and the city needs to be fast-paced enough to match their speed.
They enjoy being busy, packing as many activities in their itinerary as possible, and are stimulated by meeting new people, discovering new places and things, going on adventures and catching spectacular views. The perfect vacation spot for them is therefore Buenos Aires, where the people are friendly, the food is piquant and the nightlife is exciting.
8. ESTP: The Doer

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Bali, Indonesia
Perhaps the boldest and most spontaneous of all the personalities, ESTPs are best known for being quick on their feet, adventurous, fiercely independent and sometimes a little impulsive. YOLO is their mantra.
Bali, aside from its sun, sea, and sand, offers a range of outdoor activities that will appeal to the ESTP. From the Waterbom water park to a jungle safari, Aling-Aling natural waterfall slide to a monkey forest, Bali has enough spills and thrills to keep the ESTP’s heart racing.

9. INFJ: The Protector

Photo; Shutterstock
Go to: Copenhagen, Denmark
INFJs don’t always require a jam-packed itinerary for a fulfilling journey. They are content to take their time to explore and wander around the streets, putting their intuition and decision-making skills to good use. They are also more free-wheeling than INTJs (more on them below), and prefer less meticulous planning before and when they travel.
Copenhagen is a great fit for the INFJ. Aside from the measured pace of life there, its clean and efficient public transport system and orderliness makes it easy to get around. Copenhagen’s abundance of cafes is also ideal for the INFJ to spend pensive afternoons chilling with a book or people-watching over a cup of coffee.
10. ISFJ: The Nurturer

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Budapest, Hungary
ISFJs possess a unique combination of traits that create balanced personalities – they are highly analytical, perceptive, open to new ideas, and, despite being introverts, have strong people skills. They like to ruminate on the history and culture of a place, even after the trip has ended.
Budapest is one city that complements them well, with its nice balance of historic sites that document their tumultuous past, wine cellars to taste traditional Hungarian wine, shabby-chic “ruin pubs”, and (literal) hotspots like the thermal baths.
11. ENFJ: The Giver

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Melbourne, Australia
ENFJs love and crave human interaction. They seek places that can satisfy their outgoing personality, where people are as warm and chatty and laidback as they are. Melbourne is one such place; everyone is a friend there. The locals are friendly and baristas are always up for small talk.
While it’s also a city, Melbourne does not go at a frenetic pace. It has plenty of homegrown businesses, particularly in the suburbs, where the ENFJ can make new friends while café-hopping.
12. ESFJ: The Caregiver

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Bangkok, Thailand
ESFJs are the life of the party. Their outgoing nature and infectious vibe make them fun travel companions. These walking balls of energy will enjoy the bustle of Bangkok, with its street food, tourist-favourite packed-to-the-gills Chatuchak weekend market, and the famous floating market.
But there’s more to Bangkok then just shopping and eating. The city is home to many magnificent temples, colourful nightlife (discos and cabarets), and even an elephant sanctuary that will keep the ESFJ engaged.
13. INTJ: The Scientist

Photo: Shutterstock
Go to: Morocco
Known for being highly analytical and meticulous, INTJs seek to learn and understand everything they can about a place they visit – even prior to the trip. They have a deep thirst for knowledge and often enjoy solo trips to history- or culture-rich destinations. They have no interest in guided tours or visiting tourist traps, preferring to forge their own paths instead.
Morocco is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the medina of Marrakesh, and archaeological site of Volubilis. Aside from exploring these famous ancient sites, INTJs might enjoy trekking through the Torda Gorge, paying a visit to the Hassan Il Mosque, or going shutter-happy at the blue streets of Chefchaouen.
14. ISTJ: The Duty Fulfiller

Go to: Kyoto, Japan
ISTJs rely heavily on their senses and judgement, which means they tend to find the most measured approach in any situation. They like to travel slow and steady, armed with well-planned itineraries that satisfy their cultural curiosity, so they are usually drawn to historical sites, museums, and galleries.
Kyoto is the ISTJ’s best bet. Its tranquil temples, a rich blend of history and architectural beauty, have attracted travellers for centuries, along with its novelty craft shops that line the streets. Navigating the city is also easy and convenient thanks to the extensive network of trains and subways, which the order-loving ISTJ would appreciate.
15. ENTJ: The Leader

Go to: Mauritius
ENTJs are go-getters to whom nothing is impossible. They love places that offer two different types of holidays — a laidback one in a luxury villa with a scenic view, and an exciting one filled with lots of activities.
Island life definitely suits the ENTJ. Mauritius features plenty of outdoorsy activities (snorkelling with dolphins, deep-diving in the ocean, skydiving, and more) and, of course, spectacular views that make for Insta-worthy snapshots.
16. ESTJ: The Guardian

Go to: Seoul, Korea
The land of kimchi and K-dramas has much to keep the dynamic ESTJ occupied. Though not as spontaneous as, say, an ESFP, ESTJs still like to have some flexibility when they travel and gravitate towards social interaction. The fast-paced lifestyle of vibrant Seoul fits them like a glove.
From hotspots such as Hongdae and Garosu-gil, which are packed with clubs, cafes, malls and boutiques, to cultural sites such as temples and palaces, the ESTJ will love the blend of traditional and modern aspects of Seoul. Last but not least, the food streets of Myeongdong (spicy rice cakes and seafood pancakes, anyone?) will satisfy any ESTJ’s palate.

Nature lovers will not want to miss the Malborough region at the northeastern tip of the South Island that is known for its scenic sights, coastal waterways and wine valleys. “Paddling down the most beautiful river in New Zealand, and ending it with a good cup of warm coffee and way too many gingerbread cookies — a definite must do,” says Xenia. Book a Hobbit Kayak Tour with Pelorus Eco Adventures, where you not only get to drift down the crystal-clear Pelorus river paddling your own canoe and learn about the history of the area, you’d also get to explore the locations used for the filming of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and pass the same waterfall as Bilbo and his friends.

Staying fit and rewarding yourself after go hand in hand. Fitness entrepreneur and body-positive advocate Cheryl Tay recommends a relaxing soak at Onsen Hot Pools, the only dedicated hot pool complex in Queenstown. The gorgeous boutique spa is located high on a cliffside overlooking the magnificent Shotover River canyon, so you get breathtaking views of the alpine scenery while indulging in the idyllic cedar-lined pool. “After a solid day of sightseeing, there was no better way to relax than with a soak at the Onsen Hot Pools, complete with a stunning view,” she says.

4. Christchurch – Go for the Christchurch Rebuild Tour
image
Christchurch was devastated by earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, but the vibrant heritage town has been undergoing extensive rebuilding efforts to restore it to its former flory. Cheryl says going on a bike tour is top of her list. “One of the best ways to explore the city is to cycle, so you can reach places that cars cannot,” she says. The Rebuild Tour will also take you to landmarks around the city, where you get to learn about the innovative efforts by the community to reconstruct the city and more. It allowed her to understand the city in its post-earthquake stake, and how there’s so much potential to it, she adds. You can book a tour from Christchurch Bike Tours. Besides the Rebuild Tour, they also have a Farmers’ Market Bike Tour and a Gourmet Bike Tour, as well as walking tours.

5. Auckland – Pay a visit to Giapo

Giapo is an ice cream parlour boasting handmade ice cream, gelato and sorbet that boast a creative and adventurous flair. You can hold your chosen flavours in innovative ways, such as in a Wearable Cone, a Selfie Cone and a Yorkshire Pudding lined with milk chocolate. Hardcore fans say this place serves the best ice cream in Auckland; nay, in New Zealand. David Guison agrees, adding that a stopover here is a must. “Our visit at Giapo Kitchen was definitely one of the highlights of my New Zealand trip. The ice creams were not only out of this world, they were delicious too! We also got to meet the brains behind Giapo which made me appreciate it even more.” What’s interesting about this place is you can sign yourself up for a kitchen tour, a master class, or even a Chef’s Table session where you’d be hosted by Giapo himself. One for the travel bucket list.

6. Waikto – Tour the Zealong Tea Estate
image
The Zealong Tea Estate is the only commercial tea plantation in New Zealand and is an idyllic and serene site producing 100 per cent organic award-winning tea. Take a tour around its grounds to learn more about tea growing, and have a meal at The Tea House, with dishes that are either infused with tea or specially designed to complement the brew. “This was a pleasant surprise because New Zealand is not really known for its tea. But I managed to learn so much about how tea is properly served, where it originated, the process of sun drying, withering, sorting, packaging and of course ending it with some high tea,” says David.
