Road Trip Questions
For the miles between exits. These turn a long drive into the kind of conversation you remember longer than the destination.
Here’s how I use these: let someone pick the question they want to answer, and don’t rush to fill the silence after. The lists go from light to deep on purpose, so you can stop wherever the comfort runs out. The real magic isn’t the question — it’s getting curious about the answer.
