Sample Answers

Do you like traveling? Yeah, I love traveling. There's something about experiencing new cultures and meeting new people that really gets me going. I think it's because I'm naturally curious, and traveling allows me to satisfy that curiosity.

Which cities have you traveled to? Oh, I've been to a bunch of cities, but some of my favorites are Tokyo, New York, and Paris. I loved the food in Tokyo, the energy in New York, and the history in Paris. Each city has its own unique vibe, you know?

What kinds of cities do you like to travel to? I'm a big fan of coastal cities, I think because I love the ocean. There's something about the sound of the waves and the smell of the salty air that just makes me feel alive. But I also love cities with a lot of green spaces, like parks and gardens. It's so refreshing to escape the hustle and bustle and connect with nature.

Which place have you traveled to that has left the deepest impression on you? Hmm, that's a tough one. I think it would have to be Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. The natural beauty of the place just took my breath away - the limestone karsts, the emerald water, the whole nine yards. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before, and it really made me appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
