That’s exactly the phrase I’ve gotten from hosts. I’m a senior citizen, traveling to see adult children and tiny grandchildren. I do go into more detail, or rather, proud mom mode, and thus far it’s worked out.

It doesn’t seem weird to me at all. It can be stated like “Hi XX, as you have no previous reviews and haven’t filled out the bio on your profile, could you tell me a bit about yourself and why you are travelling to the area?”
Of course, the questions a host might find it prudent to ask a guest would vary depending on the nature of the listing. For instance, it would indeed be weird for me to ask a guest why they are travelling here, as I live in a tourist destination beach town- everyone is coming here for the same basic reason.
