" Have you traveled much ? "

I'm puzzled. Is this supposed to be a quote from someone well-known?
"Have you traveled much?" is such a generic utterance that it's kind
of like asking for the source of the question "What's for lunch?"

Someone asked Jason that after he returned home.  His extensive reply
has become a classic of Greek Literature.
Then many centuries later, Marco Polo's cellmate made the same mistake
and ended up having to record his also extensive reply.

After that, people learned to be careful about asking the question,
but it is still a better conversation opener in a bar than:  "Do you
come here often?
