How did you feel about traveling alone in a strange place?

Answer 1

Select:
- How did you feel about traveling alone in a strange place?
- What advice would you give to a young person traveling alone?
- What kinds of interesting people did you meet in your travels?

Why: these are open-ended, invite stories, specifics and reflection, and usually produce longer, richer answers.
Avoid (or reword) the others — "Do you like to travel?" and "Did you feel safe?" are closed yes/no questions that tend to stop the conversation unless followed by a prompt to elaborate.
