Identifying the type of traveler in me

I think I am an experiential traveler.  I want to  appreciate the feeling when I am at a place. When I first travelled alone I looked for the number of places I visited but after some time has passed I realized what I remembered best was the emotions I felt. The overwhelming feeling of sadness when the sun sets in Thar desert, the calm descending on you when you see for the first time a glacier floating on water. If I had known those were what I  would remember later I  would have spend more time there. I must have been naive not to have known that. But you have to give me the leeway that I come from very conservative South India.
