Where did your journey start? · What is your origin?
This question is super useful when you're meeting new people during your travels – maybe at a hostel, a local café, or even on a tour! 🗺️ It's a friendly way to ask about someone's origin, not just their last stop, but where they consider 'home' or where their journey truly began. It’s perfect for breaking the ice and learning about their background! ✨
💡 **Traveler's Tip!** While 'Where are you coming from?' sounds simple, it can open up a fun conversation about someone's home country or previous travel experiences. Remember, this is usually about geographical origin or a previous destination, not about why someone is upset (unless the tone implies otherwise!). 😉 It's a polite and direct way to connect with fellow explorers!
You're at a lively hostel common room and want to know where a new person you just met is originally from. Which English expression is most suitable to ask this? A. Did you arrive safely? B. Where are you coming from? C. What's your favorite travel snack?
