What is your favorite icebreaker to get a conversation started?

My favorite icebreaker to initiate a conversation is asking about someone's recent travels or favorite destinations. It's a topic that usually sparks enthusiasm and allows people to share personal experiences, cultural insights, and often leads to interesting anecdotes or recommendations. Travel is a universal interest that transcends backgrounds and professions, making it a great way to connect and learn something new about the person you're speaking with.

When is there any situation, I try to base my reply or my "pickup line" on that situation. And sometimes only curious ordinary questions: Where are u from, what do you do? You can get many answers from people. All it is about picking some parts and diving deeper :) genuine interest.

Mostly I start with introducing myself and asking him/ her what he does and where are they from

Anything exciting happened this week? or asking about movies or music.

Normal greetings paired with a question. There's a technique in psychology called "Foot in the door" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fo...
