Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

On a first meeting or date, when you’re not yet very familiar with each other, having a few go-to conversation starters can not only ease the awkwardness but also help you get to know each other better and have deeper discussions. If things go well, it could even leave a good impression on the other person.

1. Best and worst travel experiences
Favorite travel experiences are among the most commonly asked travel topics. Additionally, you might ask about the other person’s worst travel experience — not only is it a unique topic, but because it leaves a deep impression, it often leads to a lively exchange and mutual sharing.
 
2. Travel-related movies
Discussing travel-related movies allows you to share and talk about your views and experiences of travel. This can reveal their preferred way of traveling, favorite movie genres, and more, offering some insight into their personality and preferences. It’s a great transitional topic to deepen the conversation.

3. Travel photography
Taking photos and checking in at spots has become a common travel activity. You can discuss how to take photos as a way to engage with the other person.
 
4. Favorite local specialties
You can start by sharing the most unique souvenir or specialty you’ve bought and then dive into deeper topics such as preferences, favorite foods, accessories, and more.

5. Favorite local cuisine
Food is one of the most popular topics, and different destinations offer unique local dishes. This can help expand or deepen the conversation.
