Where Are You Most at Home in Nature?
BEACH
You are most at home at the beach - with the wind in your hair and the sand in your toes. During warm weather you love surfing, and in the colder months you like to recharge with long walks by the sea. You are naturally drawn to the easy-going, slow lifestyle of the beach - even if your day-to-day life has a different pace.

PARK
You are most at home in a park - manicured and close to the city, yet green and relaxed. You love picnics with family and friends, kicking a ball around and having fun, or chilling out quietly with a good book. The accessibility of local green spots fit in perfectly with your life, which is largely city-based and fast-paced.

FOREST
You are most at home in the forest - surrounded by trees, rocks and wildlife. You’re always the first to put your hand up for a hike or nature walk, and if it involves camping - even better. You are adventurous to your core, love physical exercise and live a minimalist, eco-friendly lifestyle.

DESERT
You are most at home in the desert - vast, silent and still. You connect with the red and orange tones of the wilderness, and draw energy from the solitude and timelessness of wide open spaces. The deep calm of the desert speaks to your spiritual nature, and trips to the desert have a profound effect on you.

MOUNTAINS
You’re most at home in the mountains - the more ice and snow, the better. You love the fresh, crisp feel of high altitudes during the day, along with snuggling up indoors after dark. Winter sports like skiing satisfy your love of fast-paced activity, and give you the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people.
