Black sand beaches is not something you think of when you think of Hawaii, but to Elsa thats what she got attracted to. Elsa’s dream is to go see the infamous Black sand beach in Hana, Hawaii. The only problem that Elsa is facing is that, “I’ve never been anywhere but Florida or Massachusetts.” Even though thats one of the main problems she has it still doesn’t stop her from dreaming big. “The Hawaiian culture really interests me, and it has such nice beaches and tropical areas to be in.” Although Hawaii is the one main place that Elsa wants to go to, she is also dreaming of going to, “Europe and just travel all of it, Germany seems really interesting to travel too. London and France seem like an interesting place to visit also.” Despite Covid happening and boarders closing, Elsas dream will live on.

Elsa may have thought of these places just looking through magazines, posters, movies, and or books. However, Elsa didn’t. “I grew up with my dad and sometimes my mom would always be watching travel shows and I always thought the places looked really cool especially all the places in Europe.” TV shows show a lot of cool places, and the more you watch it them more you’d love visit all of those places. Elsa may have grown up but that doesn’t stop her from watching them every once in a while with her mom and dad. “My parents will have them on occasionally so when they do I tend to look over if I’m out in the living room or in one of their rooms. The places still fascinate me to this day though.” Looking at the exotic places on the TV is always a fun thing to do when trying to get away from reality. Even though Elsa may not watch them a lot she uses her friends to get away from reality. Some people would want to take a break and or vacation for many reasons but Elsas reason is because, “sometimes my parents push me more than I want them to, so I wanna take a break from everything for a little. I wouldn’t stay away for long because I would miss home too much.” Elsa is only 16 and her dreams are still growing. No matter what she will always be determined to visit at least a couple of the places she dreams of going to some day.
