Although I can completely enjoy myself traveling alone it is nice to travel with good friends that are like-minded and independent travelers. Then you can often do exactly what each of you want during the day and then meet for a nice dinner to compare notes. The why is because the world is an incredible place with so much to see and explore and discover. I love to immerse myself in the culture of a place, appreciate the history, and mix with the locals. People worldwide are proud of where they live and there is no-one better to tell you about the secret best things that should not to miss than a native. I never get tired of discovering and learning about other cultures and trying new things. I definitely agree that the organized tour is not for me.

I'd put me somewhere between your category of "Nature" and my own category of "People" - I have an inherited, insane curiosity (comes from my grandmother, not my fault) for knowing how other people live and think. And just for the record I went on a kind of a tour for just one day and I wanted to severely injure the tour guide and most of the other tourists. But I guess it's different strokes for different folks. Good question, Nora!
