Do you have a bucket list that ceases to exhaust? Do you get an adrenaline rush every time you think about exploring a new place? If yes, you already know what we’re going to say next. Test your travel addiction levels and tick off which of these traits you definitely have. So, are you a travel addict? Let’s find out.

  1. You can’t resist asking detailed questions from someone who’s just back from a trip, wanting to know all about the stay, routes, eateries around etc. 
  2. You find it superfluous when people share more of their own pictures (or selfies) than of the place itself! 
  3. Hills, beaches, cities, towns, desert excite you all the same. You may have preferences, but you are ready to travel as soon as an opportunity presents itself
  4. You like to plan a four or five day trip to a place where others travel for two to three days.
  5. You excitedly read about the place you’re visiting next, looking for the not-so-cliche stuff to do there. 
  6. You can pack and unpack for a five-day trip really quickly. Say, half an hour? 
  7. You really have nailed the art of travelling light. Spending on excess baggage is sinful.
