At the moment I have a big question: How will I travel in the future? With the bicycle? By car? Or on foot?
In my thoughts and research I have realized that there are many different Types of travellers there are.
Some travel just by backpack through the world, always only the essentials with it. Others have packed their entire lives in a car and others jet around the world and live in hotel rooms.
Of course, there are many more Types of travellers (long-term travelers, world travelers, digital nomads, etc.). However, I have limited myself here to the above three categories because it depends on how I will travel next.
Backpacking and traveling around the world by train and plane I have already done both. Now I am faced with the question of whether I continue this or take a different path.
If you are facing a similar decision, I have created a little help here.
In the mini-test3 Types of Travellers"You will find 8 questions that will give you a little orientation in which direction it could go for you."
I hope I can help you a little with the test!

Mini-Test: 3 Types of Travelers
Results
It would suit you to be on your backpack or bicycle. However, you can not take so much on foot, but you can also travel spontaneously by hitchhiking, by bus or by train. Traveling by bicycle has the advantage that you can take more luggage with you and are basically more independent of ridesharing. Even in cities, you are not dependent on public transport. Whether you are on foot or on a bicycle, you are definitely very close to nature and can find many great places to stay.
Vanlife suits you. With the car you are independent, sometimes even self-sufficient and can take a lot of different luggage (canoe, tent, bicycle, climbing equipment, lots of food, etc.). Initially, the acquisition costs are high, but later on manageable. You can stop at any time and stay as long as you want. In bad weather you just keep driving or at least stay dry and warm.
The plane is your friend. Arriving as quickly as possible is your motto. The less luggage you carry, the more flexible you are. Then you can also travel on spontaneously by train and quickly reach your next destination. So you can see a lot in a short time. Consider doing a housesitting as well. So you can at least save the accommodation costs. Many jobs last only between 3-6 days, so you are not too long attached to one place.
