Horse
You’re energetic and love to roam wild and free. Your love for travelling may be taking a backseat with your frugal approach. Edinburgh, Scotland, is a great destination to satiate your free spirit.

In Osaka, meet some locals and learn to cook some traditional Japanese dishes.

Pig
You are well-mannered and provide a sense of calm to the people around you. These attributes explain why you would rather travel within Malaysia where it’s easy to explore in a group and hang out with family.
