What Your Luggage Says About Your Personality

2631

That perfectly packed piece of luggage says a lot more about you than just that you are going on a vacation. You can tell a lot about a person based on the type of luggage that they choose. Here’s what your luggage says about you.

The Carry-On
If you just use a carry-on then you may be a controlling person. You might have trust issues and aren’t willing to put someone else in charge of your precious items. Those who use only a carry-on bag also tend to be very organized and punctual.They also don’t like to go through steps that are unnecessary when they can take care of things themselves. These types of individuals will often repack their carry-on bag several times in order to try to fit everything in there so they don’t have to bring an additional bag with them as that would be very inconvenient.

Colorful Bags
Owners of colorful luggage aren’t afraid to stand out. They know that by not going along with the crowd and being different, it can have some advantages. These type of people often have big personalities. They care about trends, but aren’t afraid to choose what they like either. Individuals that chose more neutral bags don’t tend to be as comfortable with themselves and really like to blend in with the crowd.

Bags With Wheels
If you like to use a bag with wheels then you are very driven. You want to get where you are going and not let anything stop you along the way. It’s not uncommon for those that use these types of bags to be less considerate of people and their personal space.

A Lot Of Bags
Individuals that bring a lot of bags with them often like to have all of the comforts of home. They don’t like to miss out on anything and sometimes have a difficult time making decisions, therefore that want to have lots of clothing options. It could also be a sign of a procrastinator.

Backpacks
Similar to the carry-on, backpacks are common among free spirited travelers. These types of individuals prefer to be self-sufficient and like their freedom. They don’t want to be weighted down by things and they don’t mind doing without some items that others would see as a necessity. Individuals who use backpacks often are adventurous and like to go with the flow.
