You might practice speaking less analytically. I've done a million MB tests but I still can't keep the categories straight. Looking it up, you could describe that as:
Don't worry about what travel you do and don't do, it's not a competition. What makes you want to travel? To see new people, new places, different ways of living, to learn about indigenous cultures, to hike the best mountains, etc.
You love finding the peace and tranquility of mind you get when appreciating nature's beauty. That's great. Some people can't settle their minds for a moment, while some people value partners who can exist in and appreciate the present moment.
Great, and no need to nerd out. "I'm a bit of nerd." Maybe "I like to stay on top of technology trends."
You might be very surprised at how many people find language-learning attractive. What's your motivation - is it something that might be appropriate for your profile? "I read X and fell in love with Y," for example.
"Down-to-earth," "I value stability and friendships over accumulating material possessions," etc.
So you probably like art, are intrigued by artists and their craft, etc.
Hopefully that's some good starter material for you. It can also be helpful, although not at all required, to specify what kind of engagements you want to have - flings, dates around town, looking for a partner, etc. If you aren't really sure then there is no need to specify.
