– Describe your travel using 5 words and explain why.

My last travel experience was a one week trip to Metro Manila in Quezon City. As we all know
it is the Capital of the Philippines. It is a city where my family lived there for five years. Instead
of staying in a hotel, we stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit
like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did before and actually missing the city life. I
tried to visit places that are my favorite location to stay and relax. It has changed a lot and looks
more modern, more establishments and food restaurant. I also went to the supermarket near
my old house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favorite drinks
and chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember.
We did some touristy things too. The views of the city are amazing up there. We spent quality
time with family and friends and it is rare moment for all of us to gather in one place and to
bond. On our last day the weather was wonderful and thinking about our trip makes me feel
nostalgic. In fact It was our first family trip together, I guess it wasn't that bad at all. Those are
one of the moment in my life that I will cherished, especially when I am with my family. And I
am looking forward for more great travel experiences with people I love and appreciate the
most.

I would describe my travel experience as fun, great, nostalgic, full of exploration and a quality
time. Traveling means giving yourself and your mind a break from the dull pattern of life that
each of us lives day in and day out. When you travel, you hope to have an iconic experience
that will make your trip worthwhile and memorable. Everyone has at least one memorable
moment during their trip. It could be the journey to the destination, the picturesque scenery, or
the friendly people you meet along the way. And my travel experience was kind of unique
because I am with my family and friends, as I mentioned it was a rare moment for us to gather,
to relax and enjoy the moment.
