- Explore Nature: This segment loves exploring the outdoors to discover new places and as a way to relax.
- Wine, Food & Music: This segment wants to indulge or reward themselves through wine, food and music.
- Adventure & Challenge: This segment wants some excitement – to have an adventure which has an element of challenge.
- Watching or Participating: This segment wants to share time with friends and family while doing or watching something they love – often sport related but also cultural.
