Which Type of Texas Road Tripper Are You?
Texas has a wide variety of terrains, which is unsurprising considering the state’s vastness in size alone. Sometimes, though, this wide variety presents a unique challenge to travelers trying to plan out their vacation: so, which type of Texas road tripper are you? Do you prefer a quiet town over a bustling city, a majestic mountain trail over riverbed hangouts?
We’ve come up with a few categories of traveler types so you can pick the best spots for your road trip squad’s personalities. From The Lakeside Lounger to the Desert Dude, read on to get some tips for your next Texas escapade.
The Lakeside Lounger
The Lakeside Lounger loves the outdoors, but mostly because that means they can get a tan. The typical travel day for a Lakeside Lounger starts late and ends late — and we’re not judging. Every vacation is different, and The Lakeside Lounger takes full advantage of their time off to relax, nap, and party. Thankfully, Texas has no shortage of lakes for ‘Loungers to indulge in all of the above. Party boats populate the most hopping destinations, while the water stands quiet at some of the more secluded spots. Also, The Lakeside Lounger has been known to love visiting a brewery, or two. Or three. Again, we don’t judge.

Mountain Maniac
The Mountain Maniac is probably not going on a trip with The Lakeside Lounger, partially because they’d get slowed down, and partially because The Lounger would sleep through their alarm clock and miss out on The Maniac’s favorite activities: hiking, biking, and tireless exploration. The Mountain Maniac is looking for endless adventure on their road trip, marking off maps in the passenger seat while planning their next big expedition. They come prepared and ready to challenge themselves, no matter the skill level of the trail they’re eyeing up.

Desert Dude
The Desert Dude is satisfied with traveling solo, soul-searching, and driving through the hot and peaceful Texas terrain. They love observing the desert’s quirky wildlife, setting up camp, and listening to some tunes. They come prepared, like The Mountain Maniac, but they pack on the lighter side so they can stop at small outposts and stock up on knick-knacks or handmade goods to bring home from their adventures.
