101 Things to Ask a Traveler: Fun Travel Questions and Conversation Starters

March 9, 2020 By Thither Staff Leave a Comment

Do you have that one friend who always seems to be traveling or a friend who recently came back from a trip? Or want to discuss travel with your social media followers? With these travel questions, you can start conversations about your friend or follower’s travel experiences.

I like to ask a question on Instagram along with my daily photo and have had lots of fun conversations and ideas for new travel destinations because of it. So I’ve listed fill in the blank, multiple choice and would you rather style questions that you can play around with. Enjoy!

Travel Questions 

In this section I’ve listed travel questions covering everything from sharing about your favorite destinations and crazy or recent experiences to travel aspirations and future plans. These are questions that can inspire more questions and lengthier conversations. I answered a few for myself too and found I could elaborate way more on a lot of them, so I think these will work as great travel conversation starters!

1. Which frequent flyer programs are you a part of?

I join the frequent flyer programs of all airlines that I take. But the main one that I use and am a fan of is Delta’s SkyMiles program because your miles never expire. Also, they fly routes that I frequently take and have an American Express credit card that I can earn extra miles with. I also use the Chase Sapphire to earn extra miles. You earn points through every purchase you make with the Sapphire card, and those points can be converted into miles and transferred to their airline and hotel partners. Plus, an added benefit is your points hold more value if you book your flight through Chase Sapphire’s booking platform.

2. How would you describe your favorite travel destination? 

3. How many days was the longest cruise you’ve taken?

4. What’s your favorite capital city?

5. What’s one drink you always get during a flight?

6. What’s the name of the smallest town you’ve ever visited? 

7. Have you ever missed a flight?

Yes, but only because it was a connecting flight. I’m always early before a flight because I would hate to have any extra stress of being late added to the already stressful experience of airports and flying. Plus, I also have TSA pre-check which has been a time saver, especially at really busy airports like JFK, where I usually fly from.

8. What inspires you to travel?

9. Do you keep a journal while traveling?

10. In your opinion, which city has the best architecture?

11. Which is your favorite European city? 

I adore Edinburgh. The first time I went was on an assignment with VisitBritain, the tourist board of Great Britain. I loved it so much that I went back to Edinburgh two more times just a few months later. This is rare for me since I usually choose to visit new destinations rather than revisiting. Even after my third trip I still feel like there’s so much I need to do in Edinburgh, so I’m already planning a fourth trip
 

12. How many countries do you want to visit in your lifetime?

13. What do you think is the most stressful thing about traveling? 

14. Have you been to Disney World?

15. What was the most interesting place you have ever visited?

16. What is the tallest building you’ve been in?

17. What’s your favorite Caribbean island? 

I take frequent trips to the Caribbean because it’s so convenient to travel there from New York. You can usually find direct flights at really good rates during off season to various islands. My favorite so far has been to St. Kitts and Nevis. I experienced one of my favorite hotel stays at Park Hyatt St. Kitts . The views were amazing. But I also can’t talk about the Caribbean without mentioning Barbados. They were a British colony and still have British cultural influences like afternoon tea.

18. What do you still have to cross off your travel bucket list? 

19. What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a plane ticket?

20. Which travel apps are you currently using? 

If I’m on my phone to browse for places to stay, I use the Airbnb or Booking.com app. I also check Hotel Tonight periodically just because I’m curious about prices of hotel rooms around me in New York City. When I’m flying I use the airline’s app for the boarding pass and to stay informed of any updates about the flight. And also since getting around New York City is also an adventure, I use the Citymapper app to get around and to know when there’s a subway delay.

21. What’s your favorite country in South America?

22. What’s the strangest souvenir you’ve bought on your travels?

23. What tips would you give someone traveling abroad for the first time?

24. Which movie or book has inspired you to travel?

I read a lot of classic books and have a goal of reading all of the classic books published in the Penguin English Library collection , which are 126 of the best fiction books written in English from the 18th century to the end of World War II. Lots of these books are set in England and some of my favorite classics that I’ve read so far are ones by Jane Austen. She used to live in Bath and there’s a museum and many bookstores there that are must visits for Jane Austen fans. So Bath is high on my travel list.

25. What’s your biggest concern when you travel? 

26. How would you describe your travel style? 

27. What’s your least favorite thing about traveling?

28. Have you been on a safari?

29. Have you ever traveled without an itinerary?

30. What’s the most popular destination for tourists where you live?

I live in New York City so the list is endless. I see the Empire State Building on a daily basis, which is one of the most iconic buildings in New York City’s skyline.

31. What have you learned from traveling? 

32. What is your earliest travel memory?

33. Have you ever taken a vacation by yourself?

Yes. My first truly solo trip was to London. (I traveled to Ecuador by myself for a few weeks but was living with friends so I don’t really count that as solo.) Up until that point I’d only traveled with my parents, so it felt so different to be able to do exactly what I wanted to do whenever I wanted to during that trip to London.

34. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve eaten while traveling? 

35. What’s the weirdest museum you’ve been to? 

36. What’s the craziest thing that happened to you while traveling?

37. What is your biggest concern about traveling?

38. How do you pick your next travel destination? 

Recently, I’ve been trying to reach a goal of visiting 50 countries before my birthday. So I’ve been basing my next travel destinations on where I haven’t been to yet and countries that are nearby to each other so I can go to a few during the same trip. Apart from this, I’d pick a destination based on flights and accommodation prices. If I see a cheap flight to a city I have on my list, I’ll go if the price is agreeable.

39. What’s the least ‘touristy’ thing you’ve ever done?

40. Have you ever flown in a private jet and do you travel first or business class frequently?

41. What’s one place you must visit before you die?

42. What’s the best gift to give to a traveler? 

I’m big into eco friendly travel products, so I’d give someone an eco friendly backpack or eco friendly luggage . But if I knew the traveler already is set on the type of luggage they’ve used for years, I’d go with something like travel inspired jewelry or for something more unique, I’ve also put together a list of weird travel gifts that includes everything from a book on how to swear in every language to a burrito printed blanket.

43. Have you ever gotten lost while traveling?

44. Do you consider yourself a traveler or tourist?

45. What was the last road trip you took?

46. What makes a great travel companion?

How will you get there? Patrick: I want to take the train, but Jane prefers to ride her bicycle. Andrew: Don’t you like using the train, Jane? Jane: The train station is far away and riding my bicycle does not cost anything. Patrick: Ok. Jane, why don’t we travel by bus, there is a bus stop just behind the university. Jane: It might take longer. I think we will need to take two buses to the city centre.  Andrew: Jane is right. There is not a direct bus into the city. Why don’t you use a taxi? Patrick: That will be quick, but expensive. Can you rollerblade? Jane: I hope you don’t mean we should rollerblade to the city. Andrew: Is rollerblading popular in America, Patrick? Patrick: Yes. People often use roller-skates. There is even a designated lane for it. Jane: In UK we can’t do that, the path is just for walking on. Andrew: I need to go to the train station to buy some tickets. I can give you both a lift in my car. Jane: That would be wonderful, Andrew. Thanks so much. Patrick: That is very kind of you, Andrew. Let’s go to the city centre!

Conversation 2

Situation: Tui talks with Lucy about her plan to go back to Thailand during half term. 

Lucy: What are you doing, Tui? Tui: I’m planning my trip back to Thailand for the mid-term break. Lucy: That sounds exciting. Tui: Not really. I must do a lot of travelling to get back to my home. Lucy: Really? Why? How will you get home and how long will it take? Tui: It will take more than 24 hours because I have to use many different types of transport. Lucy: Will your family meet you at the airport in Thailand? Tui: No. I must take a bus from the airport to my home. The bus is very uncomfortable. Lucy: That does not sound nice. How will you get to London Heathrow airport? Tui: I think it will be cheapest to use the coach, but I have a lot of luggage. Lucy: That’s ok. Usually you can pay extra to take more luggage. Tui: Really? That’s good. Do you know where the bus station is from here? Lucy: Yes, you can walk there. It will only take you 5 minutes. Tui: Should I buy a ticket before travelling? Lucy: Buy your ticket online if you can. It is always cheaper online. Tui: I want to travel direct to London. Do they have direct buses to the airport? Lucy: Yes, it takes about 2 hours. Tui: Perfect! I will take the bus. I was thinking about a taxi, but it’s expensive. Lucy: So, when is your flight? Tui: Tuesday morning. I need to leave really early as I must check in three hours before. Lucy: Would you like to take some of my delicious homemade cake for your family? Tui: Thanks, Lucy. But I don’t think I can. The customs officer is usually really strict. Lucy: I understand. Have a safe journey and see you when you get back. Tui: Thanks, Lucy. See you soon!
