16 travel questions to ask someone new

Everyone has somewhere they love, somewhere they want to go, and a story about a journey that went wrong. That's why travel is one of the safest topics with a stranger — and a good way to find out how someone's city, food and life look from the inside.

  1. what's one place you'd move to tomorrow if you could?
  2. window or aisle seat?
  3. what's the best meal you've ever had while traveling?
  4. beach vacation or mountain trip?
  5. what's a place that surprised you more than you expected?
  6. what's a city you'd go back to a hundred times?
  7. what's a travel mishap that turned into a great story?
  8. train, bus, flight or road trip — pick one for life.
  9. what's the most beautiful place you've ever seen?
  10. what's on your travel list that you keep postponing?
  11. what's one thing you always pack that other people forget?
  12. what's a local food from your city that everyone should try?
  13. if you could teleport anywhere for one weekend, where would you go?
  14. what's a place you'd never go back to?
  15. solo trip or trip with friends?
  16. what's the best thing about where you live?

When these work

  • When you've matched with someone from another city or country.
  • When you want stories rather than facts.
  • When you're both stuck for a topic.

What to avoid

  • Comparing places as 'better' or 'worse' — it turns into an argument.
  • Asking where exactly they live. A city is fine; more than that isn't needed.
