Love this. I've been asked where I'm from countless times. And it led to interesting conversations, always. One of the most memorable moments for me was conversation leading to politics with a driver in Greece. It was fascinating to see someone so passionate about the state of their country.

Yes, It's fascinating (if you are in the mood to chat, LOL) Here in the States, with the Uber drivers is really a riot sometimes. One thing is true, no matter what, the learning continues.

Hahah. True. The mood is a key factor. I haven't been in an uber in a while or a cab for that matter (home body most of the time now lol), so I wouldn't know how it changed. But I imagine in any situation when someone sees someone for the first time asking them where they're from is like connecting to them on some level.
