Are You a Mountain or Beach Person? Let’s Find out!

So, we have often heard people saying: I am a beach person, or I am a mountain person, and we always wonder: how do they determine what kind of person they are? For instance, some people love the feel of sand between their toes and the view of forests and waterfalls from a cliff. Beaches bring out a sunny, relaxed side in people, whereas mountains are more about bringing out the cosmic, spiritual and more confident side in travellers. How to find out if you enjoy beach shacks more or river side camp in the mountains? Well, here’s a checklist to help you out!

High on Nature or High On Energy?

One of the most evident characteristics of beach life is it’s totally upbeat, and if you are a beach person, there are chances that you are highly energetic in your daily life. However, mountains are more about a slow-paced lifestyle. Yes, the trekking part is a bit challenging, but people who love mountains are more balanced travellers who love to be around nature and prefer living in the moment. 

Sun or Peace Lover?

Mountains get more shade than beaches. Behind the giant mountains, the sun's rays don’t touch the ground for days. So, if you love the sun, you would be a beach person. Whereas, if you prefer secluded zones that provide the perfect place for peace and quiet without any crowd, we would say mountains are the way to go!

Naturally Reserved or Naturally Restless

Both beach and mountain people are happy in their natural element. However, beach people are more cheerful and carefree in nature, whereas a mountain person is calmer and more composed and will still be happy and content. So, the way or degree to which you express your happiness and excitement is what makes you a beach or mountain person. 

Adventure and Exploration

For the adventurous at heart, mountains offer a plethora of activities such as hiking, rock climbing, skiing, and mountain biking. These activities provide not just physical challenges but also opportunities to explore uncharted territories and experience breathtaking views. The sense of accomplishment after summiting a peak or conquering a challenging trail is unparalleled.

For thrill-seekers and water enthusiasts, beaches provide a range of activities such as surfing, snorkelling, scuba diving, and jet skiing. The underwater world offers a mesmerizing experience with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Beach destinations are perfect for those who thrive on water-based adventures and love exploring the ocean.

What Do You Love?

The might of mountains, or the depths of the waters?
