Have you ever been on a holiday that changed your life?

Yes, I have, in fact I'd say most of the holidays of my childhood and youth were life-changing, but most life-changing of all were those I spent in Spain when I was in my teens and early 20s; they are with me forever.

Hi dear, I am extremely happy that you have come with such a nice topic. I cannot tell that I have totally changed after returning from holidays trips. But there are major influences happens to the mind and the way of thinking. Not only just after such a trip, after watching some movies, after having some discussions, after some readings, after some programs in TV, and above all, my self thinking about our humanity. Sometimes there are some programs in TV, that even we cannot imagine, about such programs. People generally say TV is an idiot box, but if we categories some channels and their programs, it is much worthier than the direct feelings. There are a lot of peoples hard work and effort behind such programs. I am not pointing out any specific one, but there are heart melting scenes that has already telecasted. I like travel and used to observe many things while I am on the trips. Unfortunately, I couldn't make a remarkable one due to my personal circumstances. But I can imagine and my imagination is far beyond and always think about the life surrounded to it. In fact you did a great job and we should understand how our fellow people are living and what is the real life for them. Only a minor percentage of people are living with higher standards and the rest are living just as they born over here. Some old aged, children, orphans, widows and unaided ladies, abandoned etc. are everywhere and we never sees them because all are busy with their own life and in a hurry to make good life. No one bothered of others and all are very much involved in making money and 'doing good for others'. I always feel very bad on our system what prevails here. But we have our own limitations. I can just open with my imaginations and I used to write all my feelings on the diaries and cherish my desire along with the people who are destined to live, as only they are happened to born and live. I always thank you for the change in you and what you have identified is a fact and I really appreciate that there are people now lives among us. I salute you, who ever you are and whatever you are, any way you didn't even shown your face also in your 'avtar' in myLot. My sincere thanks to you for your humble though on our humanity. Best regards, Thank-s

to be honest with you, not really... it is good that you are able to gain so much invaluable experience on your holiday... your story really touch me a lot... and you are right... if we are blessed more by God materially, we should share it with those people who are more unfortunate than us... thanks for reminding me again of this fact from your post... take care and have a nice day...

Reading this post made feel to happy too. I am also a young adult who wants to travel the whole Philippines. I just imagined, maybe one of my travel would mean so much to me. This is a worth holiday vacation that happens in your life. I can say I am fortunate of what I have and i thank God for those. I don't have enough money but I have enough heart to offer a prayer for those less fortunate people. I know how it feels. May God blessed you more to be a blessing to them.

That's a nice way to spend a holiday. I admire your concern to other people. The world needs more people like you to help it grow to be a better place. Sadly, the more fortunate ones are just overwhelmed with their cravings and nothing more.

some holiday change my life in many ways. I saw people in many places they have many problem in their life but they live by there own strength. They change my life in many ways like doing something out of my needs. and after that time I already share the blessing that God give me.

I went to Italy for a weekend. I was amazed about how beautiful it is, how friendly people are, what style they have. I love everything.. food, culture, architecture, people, history, design. I came back home with love for this country, I started to learn the language and I have spend over a year in Italy alter living, enjoying my life and making amazing relationship with people over there. I deeply love Italy and I am looking forward going there again.
