One of the dreams that people have is to travel around the world and know more places, meet new people and enjoy some adventures.

People love traveling and there are many reasons for doing so, such as:

How about you? What are your reasons for traveling?

Talk about it with this list of travel conversation questions

Instead of having a long list of travel conversation questions, it is better to have them categorized to make everything easier.

These are 60 travel conversation questions that have been divided into different categories such as:

Let’s explore each one of these different categories

When we search on the internet, we can find a list of recommendations about places to visit.

These are conversation questions to discuss the best and worst places to visit:

  • Have you ever been abroad?
  • How many countries have you visited?
  • Have you visited many touristic places in your country?
  • What tourist places do you like to visit?
  • Do you prefer visiting beaches or mountains?
  • Have you ever visited a European country?
  • Have you ever visited an African country?
  • What’s your best vacation memory?
  • What’s your worst vacation memory?
  • What countries would you like to visit?
  • What countries would you not like to visit?
  • What’s the best place for a vacation in your country

I understand that some people like traveling alone but others prefer some company and have better memories.

These questions have to do with your favorite people to go on vacation:

  • Who do you travel with?
  • Have you made friends while you are on vacation?
  • Do you like to travel with children?
  • Do you like to travel with your parents?
  • Do you like traveling alone or in a group?
  • What are some of the benefits of traveling alone?

Some people plan their vacation since they have to ask for permission, save money and choose the best time of the year to do it.

These questions will help you talk about plans that you have for your next vacation:

  • What places are you planning to visit?
  • Who are you planning to go with?
  • When are you planning to go?
  • Where are you planning to stay?
  • What sights are you planning to see?
  • When will you next go to the beach? Which beach is your favorite?

Some people love sharing information about their last vacation and some people don’t.

These are some questions to discuss your last vacation

  • Where did you go on your last vacation?
  • Who did you go with?
  • Where did you stay?
  • What did you do there?
  • What did you see there?
  • How much money did you spend there?
  • Who was the most interesting person you met?
  • How long did you stay there? Did you want to stay longer?

Most people don’t have a problem with their luggage when they travel, while others find issues such as:

These are some conversation questions that have to do with preparing stuff to travel:

  • How much luggage do you usually carry?
  • Do you bring electronic devices when you travel?
  • What are some things you always take with you on a trip?
  • Do you like to pack light when you travel?
  • Do you think that everyone overpacks?
  • How many of the things do you pack do you actually use or need?
  • Have you ever lost your luggage?
  • Do you worry about your luggage when you travel?

These are some questions about what you prefer to do when you are on vacation:

  • Do you prefer to travel by car or plane?
  • Have you ever bought a package tour?
  • Where do you prefer to stay when you go on a vacation?
  • How often do you travel?
  • How often do you go camping?

  • What means of transport do you like to use when you are on vacation?
  • Do you like to try local food when you travel?

  • Where do you like to stay when you go on vacation?

These are some general questions about traveling:

  • Are you a traveler?
  • What do you miss the most when you are traveling?
  • Have you ever had an accident while traveling?
  • Have you ever been on a cruise?
  • What do you think about hitchhiking?
  • If money was not an issue, what type of holiday would you take?
  • Have you ever missed a flight? What happened?

Travel blogs and YouTube channels have become very popular.

Channels tend to have an edge over travel blogs since you get a better idea of the country you are planning to visit

  • Do you follow travel blogs?
  • Do you follow Travel Youtube channels?
  • Do you usually search for videos or posts about the countries or places you are trying to visit?
  • Have Travel blogs or channels make you want to travel more

If you are a traveler, you don’t want anything to happen to you, your friends, and your family.

These are some questions about safe countries and places to travel to:

  • What are some of the safest places to travel to?
  • Have you ever been robbed when traveling?
  • Do you only travel to the safest countries?
  • Do you share your travel information with someone you trust?
  • Do you worry about how much you drink when traveling?

#261: Small Talk About Travel, Vacations, and Holidays in English

Jan 4, 2023 | English Conversation , Small Talk in English

conversation about the trip

When you get back into your daily work routine after a holiday season, what are the best small talk questions you can use to reconnect with your colleagues?

Or when your coworker is back from a long weekend getaway, what are the best questions to ask for friendly small talk conversations in English?

“ Is it polite to ask how was someone’s holiday? Is it a superficial question? Is it okay to be curious about someone’s long weekend and ask about it? ”

These are questions one of my students recently asked. You might be curious too. 

In this Confident English lesson, you’ll learn how to have successful small talk about travel, vacations, and holidays. 

We’ll review the right small talk questions to ask and what to say if you’re not sure if a question is too personal or not.

Plus I’ll share my top tip to feel confident in small talk conversations.

The Importance of Small Talk

Before we start with the best questions for small talk conversations about vacations and travel, followed by holidays, let’s do a quick review of why small talk is so important.

I know small talk might make you cringe.

If you haven’t viewed my previous lessons on small talk in English , here’s what you need to know. Small talk is a social skill.

With small talk, you avoid moments of uncomfortable silence.

And it’s what leads to a productive conversation.

It’s informal, polite, and often revolves around unimportant things.

  Small talk connects people.

  So is it polite to ask about a coworker’s time away from work during the holidays? Is it okay to be curious and ask about a vacation?

  Absolutely!

Small Talk Questions about Vacations and Travel

Let’s start with common English small-talk questions about vacation and travel.

If you know a coworker will be away on vacation or if the whole company is closing down for a period of time, here are common questions you can ask before the vacation.

  • What plans do you have for the summer/spring/autumn/winter break?
  • What are your upcoming vacation plans? Will you travel or stay closer to home ?
  • What are your vacation plans for the year ahead?
  • You mentioned you’ve got a vacation coming up. That’s exciting! Where will you be traveling?

When an acquaintance returns from a vacation or a long weekend getaway, here are the best questions to ask after they return.

  • How was your trip?
  • How did you spend your vacation? Did you travel or stay closer to home?
  • How was your long weekend? Did you get away somewhere? 
  • I remember last week you talked about some travel plans for the long weekend. How was it?

The Right Questions to Ask and How to Avoid Superficial Questions

Before we transition to common questions for English small talk conversations about the holidays, let’s discuss two keys for successful small talk in English.

Number 1: Use Open Questions

Let’s review the previous small talk questions.

They all started with what, where, or how . By starting with a question word, you avoid potential one-word answers. Such as a simple yes or no.

Instead, you are encouraging conversation. And, you’re making it easier to avoid superficial questions.

  That leads me to the second key for successful small talk.

Number 2: Show Genuine Interest

The questions I’ve shared so far are starter questions.

Imagine you’re at the beach. You’re thinking about going for a swim. What do you likely do first?

You dip your toes in the water. You test the temperature.

  Starter questions help you do that with conversation. Open starter questions encourage the speaker to share details.

And to show genuine interest, the key is to ask follow-up questions.

Imagine this scenario:

You come back from a vacation and I ask, “How was your vacation?”

You respond with, “It was amazing. I swam every day. Enjoyed the sun. Read books. Hiked to watch the sunrise from the top of a mountain. It was exactly what I wanted. I wasn’t ready to come home.”

Then I say, “Cool.” And I walk out of the room.

What would you think?

Yeah – NOT cool! I would appear rude and my question would appear superficial, right?

Instead, to show genuine interest, I would ask follow-up questions.

And because you shared so many details from my open question, it’s easy.   I can ask about the details you shared.

For example:

  • That’s amazing. Where did you go?
  • That sounds wonderful. What beach did you visit?
  • Two weeks of reading! That sounds like a dream. What was the best book you read?
  • Wow. Hiking to see the sunrise sounds incredible. Do you have any photos? I’d love to see them.

Small Talk Questions about Holidays

With that in mind, let’s talk about the right questions to ask about the holidays. Then I’ll end with 2 more tips, including what to say if you’re not sure a question is too personal.  

Let me clarify that when I use the word holiday. I mean federal or religious days during the year when government offices and many businesses close.

Americans don’t often use the word holiday for their vacations.

Like questions about travel, we’ll talk about the before and after.

Before the holidays or at the start of the holiday season, you might ask:

  • What are your plans for the holidays?/What are your holiday plans?
  • What do you usually do during the holidays? Will you be traveling?
  • How do you like to spend your time during the holidays?
  • What are you looking forward to during the holidays?
  • How do you usually celebrate the holiday?
  • What is your favorite holiday tradition?
  • How was your holiday?
  • How was your [Insert Holiday]? For example, How was your New Year?
  • What did you get up to during the holidays?
  • How was your time away? Did you travel for the holidays or stay home?

Of course, like with travel, it’s best to use open questions. And show genuine interest with follow-up questions.

What to Say If You’re Not Sure a Question Is Too Personal

Whether you’re chatting with someone, there may be a question you WANT to ask. But you’re not sure if it is appropriate.

Is it too personal? Would it be offensive?

When you’re not sure, use these phrases to start your questions:

  • Example: If it’s okay, I’d love to ask about your holiday. Where did you go? How was your time with your family?
  • Example: If you don’t mind me asking, how was your time with your family over the holidays?

Both of these phrases help your listener to know you’ll be asked a question. It’s like giving a gentle warning and they have a moment to prepare how they may want to answer.

How to Feel Confident in English Small Talk Conversations

For small talk, there’s a simple way for you to feel more confident in the conversation.

Determine the questions you want to ask in advance. And, think about your own answers to those questions.  

What details would YOU share about a recent vacation or your upcoming holiday plans?  

There’s a simple reason this is important. When you ask someone a question, MOST of the time they will answer and then say, “And what about you? How was your time away?”

They will return the question to you.

By deciding the questions you want to ask in advance, you get to control where the conversation goes. And you can prepare your answers.

Do you have a favorite small talk question to ask in English?

What is it?

I’d love to hear your go-to questions. You can share your answer — as well as your questions — with me in the comments below.

Hi Annemarie, I’ve just started to follow your lessons and I want to thank you. I found them very interesting and useful. I have a question: in a small talk , is it ok to ask about someone’s country of origin? I’m truly interested in cultures, sometime I try to recognize the different English accent but may be this question could be interpreted as to personal, may be as a thought of discrimination? Carla from Italy 🙂

Annemarie

Thanks for watching my lessons, Carla! And great question. You’re right that it can be delicate to ask. When we’re unsure if a question is too personal, we can begin with something such as, “If you don’t mind me asking…” or “Do you mind if I ask…” For example, “Do you mind if I ask where you’re from originally? I am interested in other cultures and enjoy hearing a variety of accents.” This does two things: 1. It let’s the other person know you’ll be asking something more personal, almost like a warning, and it is a way to ask …  Read more »

101 Things to Ask a Traveler: Fun Travel Questions and Conversation Starters

March 9, 2020 By Thither Staff Leave a Comment

Do you have that one friend who always seems to be traveling or a friend who recently came back from a trip? Or want to discuss travel with your social media followers? With these travel questions, you can start conversations about your friend or follower’s travel experiences.

I like to ask a question on Instagram along with my daily photo and have had lots of fun conversations and ideas for new travel destinations because of it. So I’ve listed fill in the blank, multiple choice and would you rather style questions that you can play around with. Enjoy!

conversation about the trip

Travel Questions 

In this section I’ve listed travel questions covering everything from sharing about your favorite destinations and crazy or recent experiences to travel aspirations and future plans. These are questions that can inspire more questions and lengthier conversations. I answered a few for myself too and found I could elaborate way more on a lot of them, so I think these will work as great travel conversation starters!

1. Which frequent flyer programs are you a part of?

I join the frequent flyer programs of all airlines that I take. But the main one that I use and am a fan of is Delta’s SkyMiles program because your miles never expire. Also, they fly routes that I frequently take and have an American Express credit card that I can earn extra miles with. I also use the Chase Sapphire to earn extra miles. You earn points through every purchase you make with the Sapphire card, and those points can be converted into miles and transferred to their airline and hotel partners. Plus, an added benefit is your points hold more value if you book your flight through Chase Sapphire’s booking platform.

2. How would you describe your favorite travel destination? 

3. How many days was the longest cruise you’ve taken?

4. What’s your favorite capital city?

5. What’s one drink you always get during a flight?

6. What’s the name of the smallest town you’ve ever visited? 

7. Have you ever missed a flight?

Yes, but only because it was a connecting flight. I’m always early before a flight because I would hate to have any extra stress of being late added to the already stressful experience of airports and flying. Plus, I also have TSA pre-check which has been a time saver, especially at really busy airports like JFK, where I usually fly from.

8. What inspires you to travel?

9. Do you keep a journal while traveling?

10. In your opinion, which city has the best architecture?

11. Which is your favorite European city? 

I adore Edinburgh. The first time I went was on an assignment with VisitBritain, the tourist board of Great Britain. I loved it so much that I went back to Edinburgh two more times just a few months later. This is rare for me since I usually choose to visit new destinations rather than revisiting. Even after my third trip I still feel like there’s so much I need to do in Edinburgh, so I’m already planning a fourth trip… 

12. How many countries do you want to visit in your lifetime?

13. What do you think is the most stressful thing about traveling? 

14. Have you been to Disney World?

15. What was the most interesting place you have ever visited?

16. What is the tallest building you’ve been in?

17. What’s your favorite Caribbean island? 

I take frequent trips to the Caribbean because it’s so convenient to travel there from New York. You can usually find direct flights at really good rates during off season to various islands. My favorite so far has been to St. Kitts and Nevis. I experienced one of my favorite hotel stays at Park Hyatt St. Kitts . The views were amazing. But I also can’t talk about the Caribbean without mentioning Barbados. They were a British colony and still have British cultural influences like afternoon tea.

18. What do you still have to cross off your travel bucket list? 

19. What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a plane ticket?

20. Which travel apps are you currently using? 

If I’m on my phone to browse for places to stay, I use the Airbnb or Booking.com app. I also check Hotel Tonight periodically just because I’m curious about prices of hotel rooms around me in New York City. When I’m flying I use the airline’s app for the boarding pass and to stay informed of any updates about the flight. And also since getting around New York City is also an adventure, I use the Citymapper app to get around and to know when there’s a subway delay.

21. What’s your favorite country in South America?

22. What’s the strangest souvenir you’ve bought on your travels?

23. What tips would you give someone traveling abroad for the first time?

24. Which movie or book has inspired you to travel?

I read a lot of classic books and have a goal of reading all of the classic books published in the Penguin English Library collection , which are 126 of the best fiction books written in English from the 18th century to the end of World War II. Lots of these books are set in England and some of my favorite classics that I’ve read so far are ones by Jane Austen. She used to live in Bath and there’s a museum and many bookstores there that are must visits for Jane Austen fans. So Bath is high on my travel list.

25. What’s your biggest concern when you travel? 

26. How would you describe your travel style? 

27. What’s your least favorite thing about traveling?

28. Have you been on a safari?

29. Have you ever traveled without an itinerary?

30. What’s the most popular destination for tourists where you live?

I live in New York City so the list is endless. I see the Empire State Building on a daily basis, which is one of the most iconic buildings in New York City’s skyline.

31. What have you learned from traveling? 

32. What is your earliest travel memory?

33. Have you ever taken a vacation by yourself?

Yes. My first truly solo trip was to London. (I traveled to Ecuador by myself for a few weeks but was living with friends so I don’t really count that as solo.) Up until that point I’d only traveled with my parents, so it felt so different to be able to do exactly what I wanted to do whenever I wanted to during that trip to London.

34. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve eaten while traveling? 

35. What’s the weirdest museum you’ve been to? 

36. What’s the craziest thing that happened to you while traveling?

37. What is your biggest concern about traveling?

38. How do you pick your next travel destination? 

Recently, I’ve been trying to reach a goal of visiting 50 countries before my birthday. So I’ve been basing my next travel destinations on where I haven’t been to yet and countries that are nearby to each other so I can go to a few during the same trip. Apart from this, I’d pick a destination based on flights and accommodation prices. If I see a cheap flight to a city I have on my list, I’ll go if the price is agreeable.

39. What’s the least ‘touristy’ thing you’ve ever done?

40. Have you ever flown in a private jet and do you travel first or business class frequently?

41. What’s one place you must visit before you die?

42. What’s the best gift to give to a traveler? 

I’m big into eco friendly travel products, so I’d give someone an eco friendly backpack or eco friendly luggage . But if I knew the traveler already is set on the type of luggage they’ve used for years, I’d go with something like travel inspired jewelry or for something more unique, I’ve also put together a list of weird travel gifts that includes everything from a book on how to swear in every language to a burrito printed blanket.

43. Have you ever gotten lost while traveling?

44. Do you consider yourself a traveler or tourist?

ESL Taking a Trip Conversation

The two example ESL taking a trip conversations on this page show you how a natural conversation would happen. You can use them to see how a conversation should progress.

As well as being able to read the two example conversations you can watch them as cartoons. This is another way for you to try to learn the correct way of speaking, as the pictures in the cartoons will act as clues to help you understand. If you do not know any of the words used you can look at the ESL taking a trip vocabulary page that has definitions of many words.

Then after that there are three exercises for you to do. These will help you practice using the taking a trip vocabulary in example ESL taking a trip conversations. The exercises are as follows:

  • Filling in the blanks in a conversation.
  • Writing your own conversation.
  • Conversation topics for you to talk about.

They were really interesting! Lucy: I have been to Beijing once to attend a conference, but I didn’t have time to travel around.  Andrew: Too bad. You could have stayed longer. It’s not difficult to find cheap hotels in Beijing.  Lucy: Really? Where did you stay, anyway? Andrew: We stay at the Orange Hotel near the Palace Museum. Lucy: Was it good? Andrew: Yes, it was a great budget hotel. The room was clean and it offered free drinks, fruit and snacks every day. How about your holiday? Lucy: I didn’t go out because I took a charity job as volunteer tutor. Andrew: Oh, that’s good. I may want to try that on my next holiday.

Conversation 2

Situation: Jane and Patrick talk about Jane’s plan to take a vacation in San Francisco in the United States.

Jane: Guess what! I’m going to San Francisco! Patrick: Really? When? Jane: Tomorrow. I’m flying with Ocean Airlines. Patrick: Do you need a ride to the airport? Jane: No, thanks. I’m OK. I can get a taxi. Have you ever been to San Francisco? Patrick: Yes. I have been there several times. There are many interesting places that you can visit, such as the Golden Gate Bridge. Jane: What about Fisherman’s Wharf? Patrick: Oh, that’s one of my favorites! There are lots of seafood restaurants you can sit at for lunch. Where are you going to stay? Jane: I have booked a room at the Pacific Tradewinds Hostel. It is geared towards international travelers and it is close to Chinatown. Patrick: How long are you going to be there?

Talk about a trip in English!

Hi. In this Learn Hot English lesson, you’ll learn 6 great expressions to talk about a trip in English.

conversation about the trip

First, you’re going to watch a conversation with Nate and Casey. Then, we’re going to look at the 6 expressions they use. Finally, you can try a little quiz on our blog.

OK, so first, you’re going to watch a conversation. To improve your listening skills, there are 2 great things you can do.

Firstly, try to understand the video (or audio) once completely without stopping. This first time you should watch the video and try to get the gist of it – a general understanding of it. Then, later, you should listen with the script. This will help you see the relationship between the spoken word and written word.

OK, so, for this first listening, I want you to listen to it from start to finish without stopping, and just try to get a general understanding of it. Casey is asking Nate about a recent trip he went on. In order to help you listen once without stopping, I want you to answer these two simple questions: Where did Nate go? And what did he think of it?

Did you listen from start to end without stopping?

So, where did Nate go? He went to the French Riviera. And what did he think of it? Well, he had a great time.

Expressions

OK, so now we´re going to look at six verbs and expressions from that conversation that you can use to talk about a trip , or to ask someone about a trip.

1 Spend time –

Nate said that he “spent time” in the French Riviera. So, if you spend time somewhere, you stay there. For example, I spent time in the French Riviera. And remember to use the preposition “in” with “spend time”.

conversation about the trip

2 Get to see or do something –

Casey asked, “Did you get to see other cities within the area?” If you get to see something, you find the time to do it, or you have the opportunity to do it.

3 Stay in –

conversation about the trip

“To stay in”. We stayed in a hotel, for example. The place where you stay is the place where you live while you’re on holiday; for example in a hotel. Remember to use the preposition “in” in this case.

4 Famous for –

Nate said, “The city’s famous for the film festival.” Now, if a city’s famous for something, it means that everyone knows it for this reason. In this case, everyone knows about Cannes and the film festival.

5 Travel to –

Nate talked about travelling to other villages or towns. If you travel to a place, you go there. Now important to remember here: travel is the verb, “I travelled to the village,” and the noun is “trip,” so you can say, “I went on a trip to the village.” Be careful, so now the verb is travel and the noun is trip.

6 Book a ticket –

Now, the last one, number six: “Book a ticket.” She says, “I´ll have to book a ticket soon.” So, if you book a ticket, you pay for it, often in advance, and you reserve. For example, you book a ticket on a train or on a bus.

Video script

Casey              So, how was your trip? Nate                Oh, my god, it was actually absolutely amazing. We spent two marvellous weeks in the French Riviera in a little village next to Nice.

Casey              Oh, gosh, I love Nice. That’s amazing, where… did you get to see other er cities within the area?

Nate                Yes, actually, we stayed in Cannes, the city that’s famous for its film festival, but they’ve also got fantastic white sandy beaches, which are hard to find in the French Riviera, and we travelled to other little villages in the area as well.

Casey              Amazing, amazing, erm, what did you try, did you get to do anything, any water sports or anything like that?

Nate                Yes, we tried some new water sports. We tried scuba diving, a couple of days, we tried windsurfing which I was horrible at, and then, we also did a lot of snorkelling.

Casey              Ah, amazing! And what did you see under water? Did you see anything?

Nate                Yes, the water is crystal clear and very clean, so we saw a lot of fish, and the experience was amazing.

Casey              I can imagine, I imagine, well, now you’re making me want to get back there. I’ll have to book a ticket soon.

Nate                Definitely, and if you need a partner, let me know, we can go together.

Casey              Let’s do it!

Nate                Very good! Casey              All right!

New Words in Context:

I had a great time on my recent trip to Japan. I booked a flight with a late-night departure , because after I transfer in L.A., I slept all night before my arrival the next day. I booked a reservation at a hotel in downtown Tokyo, and after a few days seeing the city, I took another flight to Hokkaido. I planed to just rent a car and drive around—I wanted to get off the beaten path and see parts of Japan without a lot of other American tourists. Unfortunately, I had a breakdown on a country road. I travel light , so it wasn’t hard to take my backpack and walk to the next village where I could get some help. I was late checking in to my hotel, but they didn’t mind. The next day, I went canoeing and horseback riding, and ate at a great sushi restaurant my guide book recommended.

English Practice Conversation | Dialogue

Emma (00:02): Welcome to an English practice conversation about planning a trip with Dialogue Frog. I really wanna plan a trip. It's been a very long time since I've traveled anywhere.

Luke (00:15): Oh yeah? How long?

Emma (00:17): Oh man. Must be like three or four years at least.

Luke (00:20): That's rough.

Emma (00:21): Yeah, it is. So, I've been kinda thinkin' about where it is I wanna go.

Luke (00:27): Oh yeah?

Emma (00:28): I really wanna travel internationally, but I feel like it'd be cheaper to travel domestic.

Luke (00:34): That's true. It's not quite as adventurous though.

Emma (00:40): Oh, I don't know. You can have lots of different kinds of adventures. There's different trips, right, for different people. You could go to the beach. You could go to the ocean or you could go up to the mountains. Do hiking. Or you could go to one of the big cities and go to a bunch of museums. There's actually, I kind of wanna go to there's this bookstore I wanna visit, um, in Chicago. So, I'm kind of playing around with this idea of maybe going to Chicago, going to the bookstore, seeing some of the famous sites. And there's also some famous restaurants there.

Luke (01:09): Oh yeah.

Emma (01:10): Yeah.

Luke (01:10): Deep dish pizza.

Emma (01:12): No, not actually pizza. Funny enough. There's uh, some famous chefs have some restaurants there, so there's like some specialty restaurants that I wanna visit.

Luke (01:20): Aha.

Emma (01:21): I think I would die if I had a Chicago style pizza. It's like two inches of solid cheese.

Luke (01:27): How can you not like that?

Emma (01:29): It could kill you!

Luke (01:32): What a way to go though.

Emma (01:33): What a way to go. This has been another practice English conversation about planning a trip with Dialogue Frog. For transcripts and vocabulary lists of this episode, please visit our website dialoguefrog.com .

Heading to a beach this summer? Here’s how to keep harmful algae blooms from spoiling your trip

conversation about the trip

Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Public Health, Colorado State University

Disclosure statement

Brad Reisfeld received funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency to work on a project related to HABs detection

Colorado State University provides funding as a member of The Conversation US.

View all partners

Plunging into the ocean or a lake is one of the great joys of summer. But arriving at the beach to find water that’s green, red or brown, and possibly foul-smelling, can instantly spoil the party.

As a toxicologist , I study health risks from both synthetic and natural substances. I’ve conducted research into early detection of harmful algal blooms , or HABs, which are an increasing threat to humans, animals and the environment.

Toxins produced during these blooms have been implicated in human and animal illnesses in at least 43 states. Scientists have estimated that in the U.S. alone, freshwater HABs cause more than US$4.6 billion in damage yearly . Here’s what to know about them if you’re bound for the water’s edge this summer.

Tiny organisms, big impacts

Algae and cyanobacteria – often called blue-green algae – are simple, plantlike organisms that live in water. They can grow out of control, or “bloom,” especially when the water is warm and slow moving. Climate change is making water bodies warmer , increasing the risk of HABs.

The other major factor that drives blooms is high levels of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which fertilize algae. Nutrient pollution comes mainly from agriculture, wastewater treatment plants, septic systems and fossil fuel combustion.

Sometimes these blooms contain organisms that produce toxins – an umbrella term for many poisonous substances that come from animals or plants and can make people and animals sick and adversely affect the environment. These events are called harmful algal blooms.

HABs occur throughout the U.S. and worldwide , in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They pose significant health risks to human, pets, livestock and wildlife; damage ecosystems; increase water treatment costs; restrict recreational activities; and cut into economic revenues.

People and animals can be exposed to HAB toxins through many routes. These include skin contact during activities such as swimming or boating; inhaling airborne droplets that contain toxins; swallowing contaminated water; or eating food or supplements that contain toxins. The most severe effects generally result from consuming contaminated seafood .

An array of toxins

There are numerous HAB toxins , including substances such as microcystin, saxitoxin, cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin-A and domoic acid. Each has a different action on the body, so HABs can have diverse harmful effects .

Typical symptoms of illness from exposure to HAB toxins can include stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhea; headache, fever, tiredness or other general symptoms; skin, eye, nose or throat irritation; and neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness or dizziness. Depending on the toxin, higher levels of exposure can result in tremors or seizures, respiratory distress, kidney toxicity, liver toxicity and even death.

As with many environmental exposures, children and older people may be especially sensitive to HAB toxins. People who regularly consume seafood caught in HAB-prone areas are also at risk of long-term health effects from potentially frequent, low-level exposures to HAB toxins.

Recognizing and responding to HABs

It’s not possible to tell whether a bloom is harmful just by looking at it, but there are some warning signs. If the water appears green, red, brown or yellowish in color; has a strong musty or fishy odor; has foam, scum, algal mats or paintlike streaks on the surface; or if there are dead fish or other marine life in the water or washed up on the shoreline, it’s likely that a HAB may be occurring.

If you are unsure whether a bloom is harmful or not, contact your local health department or environmental agency for guidance. As a general rule, it’s good to check with local agencies to see whether there are any relevant warnings when you go to the beach.

If you are notified of a bloom in a nearby body of water or in your public drinking water supply, the most important thing you can do to reduce your chances of getting sick is to follow local or state guidance. If you see signs of a bloom, stay out of the water and keep your pets out of the water.

It’s also important to follow local guidelines about consuming seafood caught through recreational fishing. It’s important to be aware that cooking contaminated seafood or boiling contaminated water does not destroy the toxins .

Be informed

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides resources and recommendations related to HABs and ways to stay safe. Pet owners should also learn how to protect their dogs from HABs .

Other federal agencies that offer information about HABs include the U.S. National Office for Harmful Algal Blooms and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences .

Many states conduct HAB monitoring programs , especially in areas that are known to be vulnerable to blooms, such as western Lake Erie . The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers HAB resources by state . Apps used by water quality managers and state officials who make management decisions about public water supply safety, including CyAN Android and CyANWeb , may contain useful information about HABs in your area.

What’s being done about HABs?

Many efforts are underway to prevent, control and mitigate HABs and provide early warnings to water system managers and health officials.

One example in the U.S. is the Cyanobacteria Assessment Network, or CyAN , a collaborative effort across several government agencies to develop an early warning indicator system to detect algal blooms in freshwater systems. There are also several ongoing projects for HAB forecasting by region .

At the global scale, the Harmful Algal Information System will eventually include harmful algal events and information from harmful algae monitoring and management systems worldwide.

Citizen scientists can provide invaluable help by monitoring local waters. If you would like to participate, consider joining the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network or the Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative , and download and use the Cyanobacterial bloom app to report potential HABs in bodies of water you visit.

Amazon Prime Members Get 9 Free Games In May, Including A Trip To Fallout's Wasteland

Head back into the Fallout wasteland or celebrate Star Wars Day with some cute Lego games this month.

By Darryn Bonthuys on May 2, 2024 at 7:00AM PDT

It's the start of a new month, and like clockwork, new free games are available for Amazon Prime members starting today. Subscribers to the Amazon gaming service can pick up 10 PC games this month, and if you're a fan of Prime Video's Fallout series , you're in for a treat in May. As usual, these titles will be released in waves, with each week bringing new games to add to your collection.

Kicking things off today is the release of Tomb Raider: Game of the Year Edition (GOG key). After years of dormancy, the Tomb Raider franchise made a huge comeback in 2013 with an adventure that showed how Lara Croft became the legendary hunter of relics. An action-packed blockbuster, the first game still holds up pretty well more than a decade after release, and this edition includes the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer expansion, six extra outfits for Lara, and four more characters to play as in multiplayer.

Also available today is Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars (GOG key). This all-ages game doesn't stray away from the established Lego formula, as you can expect to smash and blast your way through stages, assemble gadgets to move forward, and have a good laugh at the Lego twist on the Star Wars story.

On May 9, you can test your observation skills with the hidden object game Dark City: International Intrigue, but the real draw next week will be Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition (GOG key). Bethesda's first trip into the wastelands was a massive success, as it made big changes to the gameplay and delivered a fun adventure in a post-apocalyptic world. This meaty edition comes with five expansions, continuing the story of Fallout 3 in Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta. Finally, you can grab old-school point-and-click mystery game Nine Witches: Family Disruption to round out the trio of May 9 arrivals.

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

May 16 will see two more games arrive. Critically acclaimed, The Forgotten City will see you travel 2,000 years into the past to prevent the destruction of an ancient Roman location and discover the mystery behind it. Once you're done with your time travel, you can check out 100 Door Games: Escape from School, another hidden object game. May 23 will see one more game arrive, Spirits of Mystery: Whisper of the Past, another mystery title where you'll have to use your eyes to find hidden objects scattered across beautifully illustrated stages.

Once you claim Prime Gaming freebies, they are yours to keep forever--even if your subscription expires. So if you aren't a member, signing up for Amazon Prime for even just one month could make sense for you, depending on your interest in these games.

Amazon Prime Gaming members can also get a few extra games to play through the Amazon Luna channel this month, as Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Fortnite, Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and Trackmania are being added to the library of that service. The Luna cloud streaming freebies are only available to stream in May.

Amazon Prime Gaming lineup for May 2024

  • Tomb Raider: Game of the Year Edition
  • Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars
  • Dark City: International Intrigue
  • Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
  • Nine Witches: Family Disruption
  • Electrician Simulator
  • The Forgotten City
  • 100 Door Games: Escape from School
