Do you like mountains or beaches? Read the following article and comment. Which one do you prefer? Are you close to the type of person described by the article?

When you stand atop a mountain, stare as the waves roll by at a beach, or walk through a wide expanse of trees, what are the thoughts that cross your mind?

If mountains are your thing, this is what it says about your personality: 

• You are a thinker. You are the kind who introspects, thinks a lot about ideas, philosophies, and emotions. You ruminate deeply. So much so that you might have to be called back to reality.
• You are independent and self sufficient. You don’t need people to have fun and enjoy some wilderness. You can be on your own and make it work for yourself.
• You like spending time with yourself. Be it on the mountains or at home, a cafe date with yourself or a movie. You won’t mind your own company really. You might even prefer it over hanging out with o
• ther people.
• You probably enjoy activities such as writing, painting.
• You keep your ideas to yourself until you have it all figured out. Once you have it all figured out and planned is when you will bring it out in the sunlight (probably the one coming in through the pine trees).
• You are introverted. Whatever you say will probably have a lot of weight and will be well thought out. Small talk isn’t your thing. Not that it means that you are anti-social and will be averse to striking a conversation.

And if you prefer beaches…

• You are an extrovert. The small talk can lead to big conversations which can go on and on because you are great conversationalists.
• You are a party hoster, an entertainer, and even when you relax you want to do it with a lot of people around. You thrive in company of others and that is just the way you relax and let the steam off.
• You have a very warm, upbeat, and affectionate personality. You pull people in with your charm and friendly nature. They are attracted to how fun, energetic and up for exciting things you are.
• You get along with people and make friends easily. You are inviting and curious to know about people and their stories. You love to get to know them and make new friends.
