Fortunately, this time around you don’t need to be asking the mirror for advice because we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about what type of mister you are.

When it comes to travel, everyone is different. Some plan weeks in advance for the perfect vacay, while others barely have time to pack their toothbrush before their flight departs they’re that last-minute. Well, we’re ready to introduce you to six fabulous misters who each reflect different travel styles. Find out which one best fits you, and learn where you should be going for your next gaycation.

Luxurious Laurent

Favourite destinations: Paris, Milan, New York  

Duration of stay: 1 week

Glitzy, glamorous, stylish, there simply aren’t enough adjectives to describe Luxurious Laurent. Normally you’ll find him sipping a flute of champagne, wearing a designer shirt, and most probably flaunting a cashmere scarf in winter. When it comes to travel, Luxurious Laurent doesn’t shirk on any comfort. His favorite destinations are naturally Paris, Milan, and New York, and with misterb&b, he can always find stylish apartments deemed fit for a ‘queen’.

While he’s of the sociable sort, he prefers to rent entire apartments rather than staying with a misterb&b host - he needs all the space he can get to accommodate his excess luggage! As far as his duration of stay goes, it’s normally always a week minimum - remember Luxurious Laurent is all about comfort, so rushing is not part of his vocabulary!

Budget Benoit

Favourite destinations: Budapest, Athens, Berlin

Duration of stay: 3 days

Let’s face it, Budget Benoit loves nothing more than a 50% off sale at his local department store. ‘Getting more bang for your buck’ is his life motto, and he hates wasting money on unnecessary luxuries. For Budget Benoit, the same applies to travel. His favourite airline is Ryanair, and he normally packs lightly to avoid paying for check-through luggage.

His top cities to visit are Budapest, Athens, and Berlin because they’re all great value-for-money. A serve of Saganaki for 5 €? “Absolutely!” says Budget Benoit. He loves staying with misterb&b hosts, and is even okay sharing a room or taking the couch if it means a cheaper stay is up for grabs.

Last-minute Larry

Favourite destinations: Amsterdam, Lisbon, Madrid

Duration of stay: 4 days

Last-minute Larry is a Sagittarius. What does this mean? He’s a dreamer, whose head is sometimes in the clouds. As a result, organization is not his strongest quality, and his style of travel is so last-minute he’s even been known to miss the odd flight or two. Last-minute Larry loves going on vacation as much as any other mister, but his holiday locations are normally determined by places that have plenty of last-minute flights and misterb&b rentals available.

As a result, capital cities like Lisbon, Amsterdam, and Madrid work well for him. For Last-minute Larry, it doesn’t matter if his misterb&b rental has an ensuite, Egyptian cotton sheets, or an espresso machine, it just needs to be available! Instant booking is normally Last-minute Larry’s saving grace!

Weekend Walter

Favourite destinations: Palm Springs, Brussels, Barcelona

Duration of stay: 2 days

Weekend Walter is a high-flying executive who travels the world on a regular basis. He sometimes spends more time sleeping on planes than in his own bed, and rarely gets time to enjoy a proper holiday. For Weekend Walter, his only dose of TLC comes through the odd weekend getaway to a relaxed and relatively small destination. Depending on where in the world he may be at the time, he usually likes to stop by either Palm Springs, Brussels, or Barcelona.

Their relatively small size means he can get around easily without wasting too much of his precious time on overcrowded metros or un-air-conditioned buses - wise move!

Duration of stay: 1 week

While Coastal Cedric is quite the fashionista, his favourite item of clothing is a pair of swimmers - that’s it.
