When I was 12, I traveled to Ecuador with my family, my parents and my two younger sisters. We went by bus, so it took around 27 hours to get to our destination in Ambato. We visited different places in Ecuador like Parque de los Enamorados and Montañita beach. This journey was great excepting for the things that happened on the road trip. First, my sisters and I didn't take any "mareol" pill, so we started to feel dizzy and we threw up all the way until we got to Nariño, but this wasn't the worst. When we got to Tulcan, we had to take a bus to Quito, my father went and paid for the tickets at 4:49 p.m. We didn't know that buses left every 10 minutes exactly. When we got into the bus, we sat on our chairs, but some people claimed those were their seats. We asked a person in the bus station, and he said that our bus left at 4:50 p.m. They called the bus to wait for us while we took a taxi to get where the bus was, but when we arrived, the bus wasn't, so we had to go back to the bus station and buy new tickets for a new bus.

My nostalgic trip

When I was a child, I traveled to the Valle in Colombia with my family, my uncles and cousins to visit to the grandparents. On that trip I saw too much nature, I was in the highest part of the Valle, It looked like a big forest and inside was the road, it was lovely. During the trip, I ate chips, candys and I drink water, soda and juice. It was a little bit long so I take a nap for an hour and a half. When I arrived, spend quality time with our grandparents, every day I played “Parqués” and I visited the park and the river in this town, they were beautiful, and it is nostalgic to remember.

My first trip.

When I was 10, my dad, mom, aunt and grandmother traveled to Peru, we went to know Machu Picchu and the culture of this country, we stayed in the city of Lima and to visit several recommended places, when I met a boy who was 3 years older than me but who had caught my attention, So I went to say hello and we became very good friends, he met my family, I met his, and our families became very close, to the point of doing almost everything together. After the trip, he came to stay in the same city as me and we became brothers of another mother, so that was how my first trip outside the country, became the best of all, giving me the opportunity to meet him.

The best trip of my life ☀️👫🌊

My vacation was the best of my life.

My boyfriend and me went to Santa Marta in April, we stayed five days and three nights.

We wanted to stay longer, because it is a beautiful city, but it was very expensive.

We had an incredible time, we visited different beaches, we went to know its culture, and its typical food.

we liked the most visit the aquarium, it was a beautiful place, but it was also very expensive.

We didn't want to leave, because we were happy in this beautiful place, but we had to work and study.

We were very grateful and happy to live together such a nice experience, because we had been planning it for a long time, so we had not saved enough money.

But, we were very happy because we got to know rodadero beach, white beach, Bahia concha, taganga and tayrona park, it was our favorite because we swam under the sea and saw many species of marine animals.

Now we plan to travel every year and save.

We want to feel the sand on our feet, the breeze on our faces and watch the sunset together.

My first trip

The coffee park is one of my favorite places to go with my parents.

Two years ago we went again, and I would say that every time I go I enjoy it more. Although we didn't take the train ride together this time, my grandmother went with us on that occasion, but my dad and I wanted to other attractions, then we split up and my mom went with my grandmother on the train ride, which was very funny, Since when it was time to meet to leave, Dad and I walked the park twice trying to find them.

But the ride was really very fun, we had a very fun family time and we were able to repeat several attractions.

When I was 16 years old I went on a trip with my parents to Murillo(Tolima) where we visited wonderful places such as Laguna Corazón to get there we walked approximately 4 hours you can see a beautiful landscape, we were also in the snowy park where we could see the glasear, they gave us a tour where the Armero avalanche passed.

We had a planned to go to the natural hot springs called sifón, the water comes directly from the nevado, it is cozy place with a pleasant view, that same day we went to Armero, it was a fairly long journey and it was very hot.

It was very interesting and fun

When I was 9, I went to Los termales with my family in July, our trip start at 7:00 am, we took a bus from Pereira to Santa rosa, It wasn't a long trip but we have to stopped in a restaurant because we had to went to the bathroom, my paents also buy some souvenirs like keychains and cups, I was very hungry in that moment so I ate a delicious chorizo santarosano, It was delicious but we spent so much time eating so we almost lost our bus, but fortunately we didn't have to wait for another bus so we continue with the trip.I was a very fun day, we swam in the natural pools, ate chiken and fish, swam on the cascade, went to the sauna and took a lot photos; when my sister and me are swiming in the cascade we heard a stranger noise, It's like a frog or a Toad, we can saw it but it was very stranger. I had a wonderful day, I spent time with my family and ate delicious food, this is one of my best memories and the funniest trip of all.

My trip to Santa Marta

This day was one of the best days of my life, it was my sister's wedding and my whole family felt very happy but an Avianca error almost damaged this beautiful moment, my father almost missed his flight to Santa Marta because Avianca advanced his flight, for this reason my father only arrived an hour before the wedding but thank God everything was fine, the hotel was incredible and the food was delicious, my family could eat as much as they wanted, the sea was beautiful and the beach was warm, we spent 4 days in Santa Marta and each day was better than the previous and we also got to know the city, this trip has been one of the best days of my life.

MY FIRTS TIME COMING IN FIRTS PLACE

I remember that we were with the same choreography since the begnning of the year, i was in 11, we had a dance to Daddy Yankee songs.

We had rehearsed too much all that year with the same dance, the teacher signed us up for the open dance taht is done here in Pereira every year at the end.

I remember that day we were all very anxiuos because it was a high-level competition, when we had already danced it was time to wait for the results, the presenter began to say the points and I remember taht we all screamed with excitement because we had won by one point to the other group and we were in first place. That day was amazing.

On January 22, when I was 14 years old, we traveled by bus to Medellín, precisely to Guatapé. It took us about 9 hours to get there. I went with my sister and my mother. We stayed two days. In those two days we went sightseeing in the town of Guatape and of course we climbed the rock and took many photos, at the tip of the rock there are many food stalls and beautiful views that I obviously took advantage of to take many photos and upload them to the social networks, that day I felt super happy and calm since I was sharing with my favorite people❤️

In the month of November 2016 when I was 15 years old I had a super trip to the amazon the trip was by plane which allowed me to see the sky and pass near Brazil, in the middle of the trip I had a lot of dizziness and fear since it was my second time traveling by plane and I still had a little fear left, In the trip I was accompanied by my two closest cousins whom I love very much, during the trip we did many extreme activities in the jungle and I also had many opportunities to meet many animals, the trip lasted a week, in that week of travel I was very happy to live a new experience and to keep a good memory. 🪵🕷️🐛🐒🐒
