Move over, Myers-Briggs. Human design has become one of the most popular frameworks for assessing our personalities. But it’s more than a way to understand yourself better—human design can also help travelers find the best places to visit that align with their innate nature and energy.
“When you begin to understand yourself better than ever before, you will also start to build a clear picture of the places you thrive in and the people who feel good to have around you. You’ll start to see the sorts of travel and adventures that either energize you or tire you out just thinking about them,” explains Emma Dunwoody, a human design master coach.
Dig out your birth certificate—you’ll need to have your exact date, time, and place of your birth to get your human design blueprint.

When you understand how your energy works, you can choose destinations that speak to your heart and soul and create everlasting positive memories,” says Dunwoody.

On Naoshima, manifestors can strike a balance between their intense bursts of energy and periods of deep rest. You can spend the morning seeing the renowned art at the Benesse House Museum and Yayoi Kusama’s iconic pumpkin sculptures near the seashore.
When you’re ready for a little down time, head to Naoshima Ryokan Roka (the island’s first-ever authentic Japanese inn) for a soak in a private open-air onsen bath. Once you’re recharged, head to the Miyanoura Port to see Sou Fujimoto’s “Naoshima Pavilion,” which looks magnificent lit up at night.
Mexico City should be on the top of every generator’s travel bucket list. People in this human design type “prefer a vacation with plenty of things to do and keep them busy
