When you think of an outdoorsy person, you probably picture someone trudging up a mountain in their worn-in hiking boots or camping out in the wilderness. But what if you love being in nature but without all of the mess and effort?

Then youre probably an outsidey person.

As travel content creator Sam Cormier, who goes by @samanthas_suitcase on Instagram, put it, An outsidey person is someone who genuinely enjoys being outside, but without the exertion.

Someone who prefers to enjoy the views from a patio or roadside lookout rather than hiking to go see something, she told HuffPost. I think theres a difference between outdoors and outside. Outdoors to me is kayaking, while outside is sitting at the riverside with a picnic watching the others kayak. I prefer the picnic.

Cormier did not come up with the term outsidey herself. But after seeing a few posts on the topic, she created an Instagram reel with her own examples of what it means to be an outsidey person. Since posting it in December, it has gone viral and been viewed 23 million times and counting.
