How traveling shapes our personality

Have you ever wondered about what travelling gives you?
When i was a child I was traveling across a Poland with my parents. Every summer we travelled to the seaside, Masuria (a beautiful Polish lake district) or to the mountains. Our holiday was always very active, because no one from our family likes a lazy vacation (holiday in British English).
My Mother organised many activities for me, my brother and my cousins. I think she also liked to play with us, so that's why we played paperchase, built totems of sticks and cones and performed on "Mini playback show" in the evenings. My dad showed me how to fish and when I was 10 he organised a little survival trip for our family  (which meant sleeping in a tent, wash yourself in the lake, and stealing carrots from the fields).
My parents preferred alternative and cheaper ways of travelling, so I don't remember staying in exclusive hotels, sunbathing or kitschy souvenirs. I know about camping, forests, nature and eating soup from one big pot.
I'm really grateful for this experience. I think, that's why I am creative and very curious about the world.
What are your holiday memories? Do you think that these experiences have influenced your personality?
