The cosmopolitan traveller

The cosmopolitan type of traveller is the one who loves travelling in multicultural and multilingual countries. A truly cosmopolitan traveller would be equally at home living in anywhere in the world (especially big cities), surrounded by any culture and any language. The cosmopolitan travellers are usually well-educated, sophisticated, urbane, multilingual, multicultural, intelligent, attractive. When the term cosmopolitan is used in reference to towns or cities then basically the same meaning applies - outward going, broad in outlook, and accepting of all the differences which apply to the human race, whatever they may be. In a few words the cosmopolitan travellers are the ones looking for and adjusting perfectly to the “big city life”.
