When I was a child, my family and I went to a beautiful place—a giant, sunny forest. I spent the whole day running, jumping, and rolling around on the grass. I ended up covered in dirt and overjoyed; I even swam in a large pool.

Years later, I was invited to a birthday party, and when I saw the invitation, I realized it was in the same forest, only this time in a private hall. It was just as big, but it wasn't sunny anymore, and it didn't seem perfect.

I realized that everything was expensive; prices had skyrocketed. I couldn't roll or jump anymore because I was wearing a dress and heels. There was an ice rink inside one of the halls, but now, to enter it or the pool, you had to pay an exorbitant membership fee. I lost all excitement because it wasn't a forest for everyone anymore; it was a playground for the wealthy.

When I was a child I visited North Caroline , and I remembered like a very beautiful and a advanced place, in the same way when I come back, it wasn’t beautiful as before, in contrast, the second time it was very boring and not special at all, still advanced but not so much exciting

When I was a child, I visited a beach with my aunt, I remember it as a very impressive and natural place. There were many trees. It felt peaceful because there were not too many tourists. I

i was amazed by the seashells that were there and I felt very excited.

Playa flamingo is a famous natural attraction located in Guanacaste It has many large. The weather is usually hot and very sunny, and you can see many animals like birds and butterflies. It is a very beautiful place where people go to take pictures, walk.

When I visited Playa Flamingo again recently, I noticed several changes. In the sameway, the beach is still incredible, and the scenery is just as beautiful as before. Likewise, the sound of the water did not feel as same because all of the tourist. However, in contrast, there are now more tourists and more facilities, such as restaurants and walkways.

2 years later i went back to the farm and it has changed a lot, there was less trees and less green ,it looked very different

in the past the farms was more beautiful and peaceful, today is less natural and with things that make it modern, in the past was better

When i was 7 years old i visited a circus in San Jose, it was funny and cool but i get scared because of the clowns and the fire.

Yesterday, being a 13 year old girl i went again, and it have changed A LOT!! I remenbered the circus being smaller and being more extreme, but at the moment that i get there i realised it wasn´t the same circus.

By comparation, the old circus seemed simpler but more magical to me as a child. Similarly, i still felt a sense of wonder, although it was different this time. But it doesnt matter, it is still my favorite place to go hahaha. Byeee

Lucy and the beach

2026-04-25 20:56:41 UTC

when I was a little girl, my family and I we traveled a lot of times to Punta Leona, because they liked a lot the beaches but except to me I hated a lot. And I remember one tine I was crying because I hate the sand and my brother push me to enter to the water and y tried and I liked a little bit. (I hated the beach to 0 to 9 years)

Now, I like the beaches, in the same time I don't like so much the sand, but I can stand the beach but I can't tolerate the sand on my skin

Years ago, I went to villas Sol Beach Resort. I remember that I stayed there for 3 days, I was getting up early because the activities in the hotel were starting early. I played soccer many times because that was my favorite activitie.

It was an incredible hotel, the hotel Rooms were very clean, the food was delicious and the swimming pools were beautiful.

When I came back, I saw small changes, because the food was better and they had transport to go to the beach, I haven’t seen that before, also, they didn’t do activities. I had been watching the hotel When I went to sleep to the hotel room.

Alexandra / Las Vegas

Some people believed that Las Vegas was a place that was not good or interesting for children, but they were wrong. I was just 8 years old when I went to this wonderful place, and I had a lot of fun. During my stay there, I stayed at The Luxor Hotel. I thought it was going to be boring, but it wasn’t. I visited Las Vegas three months before the COVID-19 pandemic started, so they were more careful with everything.

I stayed there for one and a half weeks. However, during my stay, I went to an exhibition of some things that were on the Titanic. Breakfast was the best part, for me, it was just as good as lunch. I ate ice cream and pasta many times there, so when I came back, I got sick.

If I went to Las Vegas now, I would say that many things were different. In contrast to my last visit, I would enjoy other things, like visiting museums or other places. But I would say that the hotel and the iconic places could be similar to how they were when I went. I really loved that trip, so I would probably go again.
