Why people ask this
Questions about what people do when no one is watching tend to get the most honest answers of any game. Travel questions are bait for stories — every yes is a country, a disaster, or a person met by accident, and the answers tend to outlive the trip itself. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
