'Passport, tickets, money, phone' It's the mantra we always say to ourselves when we go on holiday to make sure we haven't forgotten anything. But what happens when one of those things is suddenly missing? Email us your stories or send us an audio file...

Lastyear, I went on holiday with a group of friends. One day, we climbed a mountain - well, it wasn ’ t really a climb, but it was a long walk - and it took about two hours to get to the top. When we gotthere, we had lunch. The view was amazing - we could see the sea in the distance. We took photos and just sat in the sun for a while. Then we went down again, and when we got back to the car, I wanted to take another photo, but I couldn ’ tfind my phone - it wasn ’ t in my bag. I thought, ‘ Oh no! It ’ s probably at the top of the mountain, where we had lunch. ’ I couldn ’ t callthe phone because it was on ‘ silent ’ , so I decided the only thing to do was to go back up the mountain to get it, because I didn ’ twantto Leave my phone up there. My friends said, ‘ OK, but you can ’ t go on your own ’ , so in the end we all went up again, which was another two hours. When wegottothetop, wespent about half an hour looking forthe phone, butwe couldn ’ tfind it anywhere. Then it started to get colder - it was now late afternoon - so I took my jacket out of my bag, and...my phone was in myjacket pocket! I feit terrible, and really stupid! My friends were very nice about it, butthey never let me forget it! Ryan, from Dublin

In a feature in The Guardian newspaper called ‘ That ’ s me in the picture ’ , people describe a photo they were in. This photo was sent in by Christopher Morris. In 2014, when I was studying acting at university, I decided to do a Spanish course in Ecuador. One weekend, I visited a place called Banos with some friends. A big attraction there is the ‘ Swing at the end of the world ’ . The swing is on the edge of a mountain, and there are incredible views. On a clear day, you can see a volcano, Mount Tungurahua. We rented quad bikes to ride up to the swing. The weather was beautiful - sunshine and clear skies. We were riding up the mountain on our bikes when we passed some friends coming down. ‘ The volcano is active today, ’ they said. The swing hangs from a treehouse. It ’ s just two old ropes and an old wooden seat. It was dangerous, but we all took turns. It was an amazing feeling - one minute your feet are on the ground, and the next, you ’ re high up in the air. For a time, we were swinging on the swing and watching the smoke coming from the volcano. After 20 minutes, there was a lot more smoke and loud noises. We could see an enormous cloud of ash in the sky. One part of me was thinking, ‘ This is so cool ’ , but the other part was thinking, ‘ Are we in danger? ’ The cloud started to cover the sky. I asked my friend Sean to try to take a good photo of me with the volcano in the background. When people see this photo, they say, ‘ Wow, you look so relaxed. ’ But I was terrified! Then we heard local people saying, ‘ We have to go ’ , and we knew it was time to leave. I made the photo my profile picture. Some time later, I was in a doctor ’ s waiting room, and I was looking through a National Geographie magazine when I saw the photo. Sean had won a prize in a travel photo competition!
