To be honest, I only got the chance to travel once in a blue moon, but I remember there is one time, which is last year, I went to Australia with my families, which is my mom and my dad. I’ve always been interested in the organisms, in biology, and I really love seeing different types or kinds of animals. I knew that Australia is famous for its conservation programs, so there are many types of animals that are endemic to Australia, for example koala or kangaroo. I went to Australia with my family, and we went there for planes, although it took more than 16 hours, but it was really worth it because I’ve been a place that I’ve always dream about all the time. I got to interact with kangaroos, which the kangaroos were just in front of me. I saw some koalas, and I was like, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. On the tree, in a public zone, like it is not in the conservation or national parks, instead it is on the street full of people, and when I walked out from the restaurants with my parents, I saw in koala eating the leaves, and it was so exciting because I got to see it in front of me. I was over the moon when I realized there is a true koala, and so it was a really exciting trip that I would never forget in my life.

I got to interact with kangaroos, which were just in front of me. I saw some koalas, and I was amazed. They were on a tree in a public area, not in a conservation or national park, but on the street full of people. When I walked out of the restaurant with my parents, I saw a koala eating leaves, and it was so exciting because I got to see it up close. I was over the moon when I realized there was a real koala, and it was a truly exciting trip that I will never forget in my life.
