DeBroglie's hypothesis suggests that every body has particle-like and wave-like properties (which may or may not be observable). This means that I as a person walking down the road with a velocity $v$ would exhibit both particle and wave-like properties (though my wave-like properties would be negligible). My question is: what kind of a wave do I describe? A standing wave or a travelling wave?

Most likely a wave-packet. But from a QM point of view an incoherent mixture of wave packets (mixed state).
