Tourist vs. Traveler

So I can by no means say I'm a seasoned traveler, in fact I just dipped my hand into the pool of exploration. But from what I've seen there is a difference in lifestyle between a nomadic backpacker and a tourist. And this is my list (with a somewhat humorous touch).

Ordering at a restaurant:
Traveler-points at some random dish that sounds somewhat familiar and looks somewhat inexpensive.
Tourist-asks in English "Is this similar to chicken?"

Staying at hotels:
Traveler-stays at hostels or couchsurfers. maybe spends a night or two on the floor of a train station of airport.
Tourist-bounces between hostels (ones above 80%) and hotels but definitley always has a bed to lay on.

Sightseeing:
Traveler-depending on the budget may just view sights through gates sneak into a payed tour or two. Saves their money for only the best of landmarks.
Tourist-Follows Frommers always has a map covering their face while wandering the streets while stopping every so often to mumble "Donderr Estayyy?"

Attire:
Traveler-layers basic t-shirts and shorts tennis shoes. Most likely havent been washed for weeks, along with their hair.
Tourist-Hawaiin shirt hat with big red letters bolded saying "ROMA". A baseball cap and money necklace containing money and passport.

Trip Iternerary:
Traveler- not much of one. May have places they want to see also base destinations off of hearsay.
Tourist-planned to a T.

Companions:
Traveler-solo or with another friend. Maybe sometimes a significant other. Meeting people along the way maybe venturing to the next city with a new friend.
Tourist-family, significant other. Almost never solo unless on business.

Communication:
Traveler-maybe cell phone more likely facebook or email.
Tourist-international cellphone or cell phone from home with roaming charges.

Either way good times to be had. I find myself somewhere in the middle but always attempting to "wing it" and adopt more of the traveler. I guess thats the Jack Kerouac fan in me. But please feel free to contribute obviously this is just an exagerrated and silly list.
When I find more time I share stories from my crazy Italian spring break.
