Kauai, HI
“I went to Kauai, the island is covered in beautiful trees, plants, and so many great beaches. It is known as the garden island and it is my favorite island I’ve been too!” -Emily Masseth
Orcas Island, WA
“Orcas Island is the best place to escape to from the mainland. From mountains to beaches, there is just so much to do. My favorite is to Kayak around Moran State Park on a warm day and jumping off the bridge that crosses the lake! Eastsound is the main town on Orcas Island, and it will really take you back in time. Good luck finding WiFi here! Most of the locals just like to chat during their morning cup of coffee.” – Allison Braun
Castel de Sant’angelo, Rome, Italy“I traveled to Italy on a trip with students and teachers from my high school. Over the 2 weeks we visited Rome, Florence, Assisi, Milan, Venice, and Verona. The Colosseum and the Castel de Sant’angelo were 2 of my favorite places in Rome because they have been there for almost 2000 years! Assisi is a smaller village outside of Rome, built on a hill to protect them in battle hundreds on years ago. Assisi was beautiful and had great views and architecture! Italy is filled with rich history and views and would highly recommend it visiting if you are ever in Europe!” -Jenny Johnson
San Jose, Costa Rica
“I went on a cruise from Key West Florida and went to the Bahamas where the sun was beaming and the weather was perfect. Drank water from a coconut and went swimming in the ocean. Talk about paradise!” -Gloria Rivera
Nassau, Bahamas
“I traveled to Limon Costa Rica to visit family, curly hair and rain forest humidity definitely don’t mix well but from seeing monkeys in the jungle to surfing for my first time Costa Rica was quite the adventure.” -Gloria Rivera
Lake Curlew, WA
“I went to Lake Curlew in Republic, WA. The water is calm all day so we could go water skiing or wake boarding whenever we wanted! There is also a small campground and ice cream shop to go to. This is a fun vacation for people who love being out on the water!” –Jenelle Rose
Glacier National Park, MT
