I travelled for quite a while and I was thinking back on all the people I ran into, share a beer or meal with, rode a bus/plane/train/etc, and met out and about. They all seemed to ask the same 10 general questions:

  1. Where are you from?
  2. How long are you away for?
  3. Where have you been? / How many countries have you seen?
  4. How old are you?
  5. What is your job / occupation / career?
  6. What is your favorite place you have visited?
  7. What is the cheapest place you have been?
  8. How do you afford to travel so much?
  9. What does that tattoo mean?
  10. How much does your pack weigh?

I am sure their are others that you can think of. These are the first that came to mind for me as I thought back over my experiences on the road. What did I miss here?
