People don’t fit in boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the major arguments against personality typing systems I have heard is that people are so multi-faceted; how can a personality type define all of the subtleties of an individual?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been amazed at how extensive the Enneagram is. While you can dabble and learn a great deal of helpful information, you can also do a deep dive and still not touch the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would never want to put anyone in a box or say that we understand another human being because we will never experience how another brain works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enneagram type FIVE strengths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FIVES are intelligent, innovative, and perceptive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They crave knowledge that is driven by a curiosity about things in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are highly practical and objective, making them great decision-makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES have a fantastic ability to consume information and gain knowledge to apply to circumstances to make life better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enneagram type FIVE struggles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FIVES face constant fear of being depleted. They struggle with feeling like they are not going to have enough to meet the demands of life. To handle the relationships and daily activities of life, they tend to withdraw or withhold themselves from others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

“FIVEs need to make the effort to reach out to others, especially when they are feeling vulnerable and afraid. As a FIVE, they have been conditioned not to expect support from anyone, even to be suspicious of help. But this belief is probably not applicable to their current situation and they can use their intelligence to figure out who will be stable and there for them when they are having troubles.<\/p>\nThe Wisdom of the Enneagram<\/strong>
Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Because FIVES are extremely practical (which can be one of their strengths), they sometimes come across as unemotional or lacking empathy as they try to solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging type FIVE strengths and struggles in travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strengths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIVES love information and knowledge. They are knowledgeable individuals. FIVES can use this to their advantage when preparing for travel experiences by using their research and knowledge-seeking gifts to learn about the place they want to visit. They will know the facts and information necessary to make a trip successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enneagram type FIVES have a certain amount of energy each day; when it runs out, they have nothing left to give those around them. FIVES fear having their energy so depleted that they can’t recover. Because of this, they budget out their strength based on what they expect to happen during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What that means for traveling is that adding in too many spontaneous expeditions, changing plans, or being go-go-go will quickly frustrate and cause a FIVE to withdraw and shut down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful trip for a FIVE will include some form of an itinerary (it can be loose) so that they know what’s going to happen and what’s expected of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will also thrive during a trip with lots of time to sit and think or be active and think. One FIVE we know enjoys going on long mountain biking trips, an opportunity to get away from the fast pace of a demanding world and get in his head while being active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type FIVE and vacation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does vacation mean for type FIVE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacation for a type FIVE is an opportunity to be released from some of life’s demands and other people’s demands on their time and energy. FIVES love having space to think, which is important for them to incorporate into their vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because FIVES can become wearied by lots of people interaction and activities, the ideal vacation for type FIVES involves space to think, be alone, or be alone with their close loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

“Part of the process of hoarding impressions and knowledge is that most FIVEs like to travel since travel educates. They enjoy studying foreign cultures, customs, and manners without being known or recognized.<\/p>\nThe Enneagram a Christian Perspective<\/strong>
Richard Rohr and Andreas Ebert<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the ideal vacation for type FIVE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ideal vacation for a type FIVE involves a lot of downtime. It also can include opportunities to gain knowledge – reading, museums, or trying something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES will thrive on slower-paced vacations, where they know what to expect (how to budget their energy) and when it involves a small group of close family or friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Traveling relationally for Enneagram type FIVE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FIVES traveling with others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traveling with others can be challenging for a FIVE because they try to hang on to their energy resources and make it through the day. They can become withdrawn and become very practical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the FIVE is not aware of themselves, they can become arrogant and detached. Lacking the energy to emote themselves, they can start to lack empathy for others’ emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is helpful for a FIVE to have time alone each day to recharge so that when they are with others or having an especially active travel day, they will have the energy to thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Traveling with a FIVE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIVES bring great wisdom to the table. Because of their insatiable desire for knowledge and mastery of a topic, they will know about something at a deep level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very valuable when traveling. When a FIVE has had the opportunity to research and know about a location, the history of a place, or what’s available to do, they will enrich the experience for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES are observant and perceptive, meaning they will notice things others might miss when traveling. The FIVE will take in the world with their mind and process it with thinking. Giving them the ability to keep things rational and impersonal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle with a FIVE (if they are emotionally healthy and not feeling too drained), express it to them clearly and rationally and then give them space to think it over. They will process your thoughts and be able to talk through them with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES need to feel safe to be emotionally open. Allowing a FIVE the space to recharge, think, and seek knowledge will build trust. Not being too demanding or putting the FIVE in a place of obligation will help them relax and engage rather than withdraw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The actual experience for a FIVE takes place later when they can review their slides at home.

Skills for the type FIVE tool belt: improve travel experiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skill 1: Sit and breathe, pause the thinking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Enneagram type FIVES are good at being in their head. They can even lose a sense of their body because they live in their thinking world so much. A challenge for a FIVE while recharging on vacation is to sit for 3 to 5 minutes and breathe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to think of all your profound, intellectual thoughts and focus on your body for a few minutes. This goal is to broaden the FIVES awareness of themselves and their needs. Due to the fear of depletion, FIVES can become restricted in their breathing without even being aware of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

For the most part, Fives have a very sensitive nervous system, which makes them vulnerable to states of overwhelm.  Too much stimulation or too much expectation from others can set this off. Usually, it takes them time and safety to respond emotionally. But it\u2019s also the contraction of fear that contributes to depletion by creating physical tension and restricted breath. <\/p>\nThe Enneagram at Work. Peter O\u2019Hanrahan.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Learning to sit and breathe can help them to function well during travel and all other times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga is a great way to practice getting out of your head and into your body. Yoga helps combine breathing with physical movement, which, with practice, will support a FIVE to self-soothe when facing stress or anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skill 2: Do the research<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Okay, you’ve stopped thinking for a quick breathing break; now commence the research! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES love of knowledge makes them great researchers. At Jaunty, we love the research aspect of travel, the travel that happens before leaving the house<\/a>. FIVES have a strength in this arena and can put it to valuable use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skill 3: Express your needs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We all have needs and desires and often find ourselves in a situation where we need another’s help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Enneagram type FIVES asking for help can be difficult. Their desire for self-sufficiency and reluctance to rely on others can limit them from expressing their needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVES will most likely need downtime when traveling. It is okay to express this need. Communicating it rationally, in the way the FIVE thinks, will help others support the FIVE to have a successful, enjoyable trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge in asking for help for a FIVE may be more about the perceived weakness of needing help (they desire to be seen as competent) than not wanting to cause conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowing loved ones to be a blessing by giving the FIVE time to rest and recharge may strengthen relationships and grow respect rather than causing a perception of weakness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what a few type FIVES said…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interview #1: Eva Keller from DiscoveringHiddenGems<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite part about traveling? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Planning and the trip itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think vacation means to your number? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I think vacation is the trips where I just get to relax. They’re the ones where I know the place well, so I don’t have to plan as much. For us, it’s visiting family in Ohio and Florida. I know of so many things for us to do and the logistics of making it happen without even having to think twice. Those trips really feel like vacations. Our big National Park road trips don’t quite feel like vacation because I’m following an itinerary and navigating 24\/7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something you\/FIVES struggle with when traveling? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have a hard time with overeating while traveling because I always think that this is my only opportunity ever to try this one thing, and my husband and I don’t always agree on one meal to share, so we’ll each get our own and a dessert and sometimes an appetizer too. By the end, I feel so sick and full all night but will do it all over again the next day. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think FIVES struggle with the unknown. This could be not knowing what to expect or having something interrupt our well thought out plans. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your biggest hurdle when preparing for a trip?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Getting my husband to agree to everything I want to do. He will let me plan everything and goes along with it and loves it, but he decides how long we’re able to travel and where all he’s willing to go. Once I get the go-ahead and the limitations, I can plan all I want.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you go through the process of choosing where to travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have a huge bucket list, and at the beginning of each year, I narrow down a dozen or so places that seem like the easiest or the most likely places we can get to that year. I wait until the mood strikes me to plan a trip, so the time of year and the length of the trip determines where we choose. I don’t always stick to that list, though, because sometimes we’re able to do more than I originally anticipated.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often would you travel if you didn\u2019t have work or budget restraints\/how often do you think your number would travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If I could be on the road full time that would be great. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think my Enneagram type can travel frequently but needs time in between trips to plan out the next one. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think as long as there are places I am curious about, I will make travel a priority in my life. My Enneagram type has a strong thirst for knowledge and will always seek out opportunities to satisfy that desire. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview #2: Cassidy Griffin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite part about traveling? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I love planning and researching trips. When we went to New Orleans, I loved finding things I knew Taylor and I would both love doing and experiencing together. I had a list, and whenever we did something he liked, I felt so accomplished and satisfied. My “expertise” was appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think vacation means to your number? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a FIVE, I like to be alone. However, I do not like the idea of vacationing alone. I want to spend time with “my person.” This is someone I don’t have to entertain, and I’m happy to meet their expectations of me because of how much I love them. I avoid going to places where I might know someone. I love to be anonymous in a crowd. Vacation for a FIVE is going somewhere where there are no expectations placed on them that might steal some for their energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something you\/FIVES struggle with when traveling? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The details. I run them over and over in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When is our plane leaving?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Did I pack that?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What train is it again?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run it in my mind until its memorized. I research and try to find pictures of exactly what I’m looking for. Other types might look at pictures of the beach they are going to; I look at maps and pictures of the airport, so I know where to find an Uber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitions are hard for me. I want to know what to expect. I think this is because I want to parcel out my energy correctly. I need to know how long my layover is. I need to know what kind of food will be available. I need to know how long the ride from the airport to the Airbnb is. I need to know all of this so that I can have the right amount of energy for everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your biggest hurdle when preparing for a trip?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Getting all the information I need. The more information I have, the less anxiety I feel. And anxiety is the last thing I want to feel on vacation. I think that’s a big reason (besides money) we have only vacationed in North America as a couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m worried I will need a vacation from my vacation if there are too many layovers, trains to catch, and hotels to find. That’s a lot of information I’m going to have to memorize because my brain will not let me alone until I do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you go through the process of choosing where to travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have an ongoing list. I mostly put pictures in front of Taylor and watch how he reacts. I know FIVES are typically not “people pleasers,” but I want “my person” to be happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Taylor wants to go and is excited about it, I will want to go. If he’s not excited, I can’t handle it. I think it’s because I rely on a lot of his energy. I need him to be motivated because I only have enough energy and motivation to get myself through something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often would you travel if you didn\u2019t have work or budget restraints\/how often do you think your number would travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’m a homebody. I have a lot of routines that need to be maintained for life to feel balanced. I would go 2-3 times a year on a big trip. However, I will always look forward to coming home and being back in my bed. I love my bed. I also love my projects and hobbies. Routines are key for a FIVE. I thrive when I can do my little life patterns without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you think your orientation to time (i.e., past, present, future) affects your perspective on traveling with others?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’ve thought about this a lot. As a FIVE, I enjoy my vacation after the fact. My advice to other FIVES and past-oriented people – take lots of pictures. When I look at photos from our vacation, that’s when I enjoy it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also think about the trip a lot after. I will often remind Taylor (he’s in the present) about that “amazing restaurant we went to.” He generally looks confused, wondering why I brought that random thing up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for me, that’s the moment of real enjoyment – that memory. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying something after-the-fact. Living in the present is extremely difficult for me; the Enneagram has set me free from feeling guilty about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview #3: Rachel Heller from Rachels Ruminations<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite part about traveling? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 The trip itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think vacation means to your number? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Vacation is a chance to learn more: about the history of a place, the culture, the art, the people, and anything else that comes along. It is not a time to sit on a beach, or at least not for more than an hour or two. Beaches aren\u2019t for doing nothing; they\u2019re for snorkeling or scuba-diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something you\/FIVES struggle with when traveling?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I get very stressed with the travel itself, i.e., with making sure I get to the airport on time, finding the hotel, that sort of thing. I check my tickets a million times to make sure I have the date and time right, for example. I get to the airport really early in order to have time to calm myself before the flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I arrive and check into a hotel, I exhale and just love every minute of sightseeing. I want to see absolutely everything and try every kind of food and so on. I don\u2019t get nervous again until I am due to move on to my next destination. Because of all this, I particularly enjoy road trips. If I\u2019m driving, I\u2019m in control of when I leave and how I go, and if worse comes to worst I could sleep in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I\u2019m traveling, I\u2019m better at \u201cliving in the moment\u201d than normal. I ruminate less about the past and only think about the future as far as what I\u2019ll do for the rest of the day and perhaps about what I\u2019ll see tomorrow. Perhaps that\u2019s why I\u2019m happiest when I\u2019m traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[For FIVES] Just as a guess, I\u2019d say we are more comfortable traveling solo. I have tried group travel and hated it. I didn\u2019t like having to accommodate other people\u2019s concerns, habits, or whatever. If it\u2019s just a few hours and it\u2019s the only way to see a certain sight, I might still do it, but I always end up annoyed at another group member or frustrated because I didn\u2019t get enough time at one of the sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to skim through an art museum, for example, but at historical sites, I want to slow down and see every detail. The tour organizer might have entirely other concerns. I took a tour in Lebanon once, for example, because it was the safest way to visit Baalbek, a UNESCO site that is right near the border with Syria. We had to leave before I\u2019d gotten to see everything I wanted to see because we had to get to a winery for a wine tasting. I really don\u2019t care about wine, but it was on the itinerary, and we had to do it. While the tour was quite good, with a very knowledgeable guide, I wished I had dared to drive myself out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your biggest hurdle when preparing for a trip?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For me, it\u2019s the initial decision of where to go (I want to see EVERYWHERE!) and then making the leap to shelling out the money for a plane ticket. Once that\u2019s done, the rest isn\u2019t too hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you go through the process of choosing where to travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Often the decision is made for me. I lead workshops occasionally, and they send me to where the workshop is. I extend the trip for a few days or a few weeks and go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I have to decide for myself, I can \u201cruminate\u201d for weeks or months before making a decision. Of course, if my husband is coming as well, we brainstorm together, but he leaves all the planning to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I generally choose places I\u2019ve never been to before, and I prefer places that aren\u2019t as popular because I hate crowds. If my budget is tight, it might be closer to home, somewhere here in Europe. If I\u2019m doing better money-wise, I\u2019ll choose somewhere further away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My last trip \u2013 with my husband this time rather than solo \u2013 was to Iceland over the summer. While I\u2019ve always wanted to go to Iceland, I was put off by how popular it is. This summer, though, it was a safer bet because the pandemic was keeping so many people at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also safer than most destinations because 1) Iceland was testing everyone on arrival and had, at the time, a near-zero rate of infection, as did our province in the Netherlands, and 2) most of the sightseeing is outside in wide-open spaces.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often would you travel if you didn\u2019t have work or budget restraints\/how often do you think your number would travel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A lot. I\u2019d circle back because my husband\u2019s job is here, and he has less free time than I do. I miss him within a few weeks when I travel solo. So I\u2019d travel a lot but be back for a couple of weeks between trips.
