Would You Book It or Wing It?

A trip asks two questions before you have left the house: how much of it is already decided, and how hard are you willing for it to be. They are separate questions. That is why there are four kinds of traveler and not two.

Twenty-four statements, about four minutes, and a point on a map. Answer for the trips you choose to take, not the ones you get sent on.
