Why I Love Travel Quizzes
Growing up, my family played quizzes all the time.
We’d sit around the dinner table or in the car on long journeys, testing each other with trivia questions.
As an adult, I’ve continued this tradition with my own children, making learning fun while reminiscing about our favourite trips.
There’s something about a travel quiz that sparks curiosity and excitement—especially when the questions remind us of past adventures or inspire future ones!
