Tokyo, Japan

I'm Japanese so it's only normal to want to visit Japan right? I've known people who have visited Japan and they always bring back all kinds of goodies from there. I know it's kind of weird, but I would like to go there and buy the Japanese candies. The candy in Japan is so much better than what we have here. I wish the city wasn't so busy though. I would dread walking around in those huge crowds. I would get mad because of the people bumping in to me. But I also want to see the older type of buildings because they look so amazing. The architecture is so awesome. 

Paris, France

I'm not sure where else to go in Paris except to the Eiffel Tower, but I would still go there. A friend of mine is studying abroad in Paris and I think it's so cool. I've never been out of the country and honestly, I would be pretty nervous the first time I go. There has to be a whole lot of places to check out in Paris. I hope that I make a lot of money so that I can travel around the world to visit places. That would be pretty awesome.

Whistler, Canada

I love snowboarding, and can't wait until I have the opportunity to go to Whistler. My aunty and her husband have been there a couple of times and they said that the snow is always nice and powdery. It's been 13 years and 8 snowboarding trips since I've been on a powdery slope. There's usually only man made snow when I go with my family and it's fun but definitely not as good. I also want to go to Canada because I have never been out of the country, and I have only traveled farther than California twice. I really don't like plane rides, but it would definitely be worth it if there's snowboarding involved in the trip.

I have already been there and done that, but it was so much that that I really want to go again. I went with my uncles and cousins from Maui and the first picture is actually my own picture. When they first told me about doing this, I didn't think it would be that great but it was a really great experience. You ride from the top of Haleakala all the way to the bottom on a mountain bike. The first part of the trail is all dirt and lava rock, the second part is the forest and single trail, and the last part is all paved road. The second part I think is the most fun. The trail is small and you have to maneuver between trees, over roots and down steep slopes. It's the most tricky. I really don't like the last part because you pick up a lot of speed. We rented bikes from a shop and they were disk brakes, and they were already worn down when we got them. Not even a quarter way down the paved road and most of our back brakes are useless and don't help us slow down much. So we needed to pump our front brakes the rest of the way down and that was the worst feeling ever. You press it too hard and you're going flying over the handle bars. This is definitely worth the pain you're in the next day and if you ever get the chance to do it, I highly recommend it. Just make sure your rear brakes are good to go!

Hanakapi`ai Falls

All of my friends have been on this hike and tell me about how amazing the views and waterfall are. I plan on doing this hike when I go home for the summer. I'm not looking forward to the 8 miles of hiking up and down slopes, but I'm definitely looking forward to that waterfall. I enjoy going on hikes but I heard this hike is really tiring. You guys should check this place out if you ever visit Kaua`i, but never go on a rainy day or a day after it rains. Make sure that there is no rain in the mountains either because that can cause a flash flood to happen. And definitely don't swim at Hanakapi`ai beach because the current is really strong. It sweeps people around the mountain and they get stuck with no way of getting out of the water. It's a really beautiful beach, but it's extremely dangerous.

Mall of America (Bloomington, Minnesota)

I'm not much of a shopper, but you don't have to be to visit the Mall of America. This is definitely one of the top on my list on where I want to visit when I'm older. There is everything to do there! This place is huge and you won't get bored in this place. Apparently it would take 86 hours to visit over 520 stores if you stayed in each store for only 10 minutes. It would be so much fun to take a break from shopping by riding roller coasters. I love the thrill you get from roller coasters. They definitely get the heart pumping.

Wailua Falls

Can you imagine that I live on the island where this waterfall is located and I've never been there? I've seen pictures that people post on social media and I envy those people. I'm making a plan that I will visit this waterfall this summer!
