    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

Moreover, that interest was developed when I was very young watching Roja movie in television. I was dreaming about that place, being in that place, enjoying with that snow. For now, I would like to go during my summer vacation this year, May month for about 15 days. I would like to visit that place with my lovable husband. He is also my dream partner. So I want to visit that place with him and I want to enjoy the nature, feel the essence of all the vicinities over there and experience the snow, I want to play with that snow. And also, additionally, I have to record a video of playing in snow along with my husband more cinematically. It sounds cinematic but it was my childhood dreams and we have a plan to visit by this summer following a tourist package. I want to experience the nature treating me the way I really wanted to. Moreover, that place will be very beautiful.

    I would love to go to Japan because I have heard that Japan is currently living in 2050 because of the advancement that it has and the environment that is present. I would specifically like to witness the cherry blossom which happens just once in a year during the months of March and April. I have seen pictures online and it seems like one is just transported to heaven when you stand below the trees where all the flowers just keep falling upon you as if they are falling from the sky. So I spoke to my husband about it and he said maybe we can go to Japan on a family trip including our son who is two years old now. I would also like to witness the crowd in Japan and also try the food, the delicacies present over there as I have heard ramen being one of the most delicious Japanese food. I have never tried it before but I would love to try it once I go there as there would be authenticity in the food, in the taste and in the ingredients that are being used. We have options for ramen and Japanese food in our own country and nearby but I don't feel the taste would be the same as the one we would get in Japan itself. So I would just like to go there for a trip and maybe after visiting once I would like to try to go other places in Japan as there are a lot of spots to visit. It is also a tourist destination and is gaining popularity.

    So, that was an interesting question. If you ask me specifically, which is the place I want to visit in my future, rather away from my home, I would suggest that Australia. It's my dream destination to visit. So, that's the main reason why I chose to study abroad universities for my master's degree. Fortunately, currently, I chose United Kingdom because it's the only country I can afford my post-graduation degree. When I complete my post-graduation, I will definitely go Australia through my migration for doing my job. So, as a result, by doing so, I can also get settled down in that country. If I get a chance to take my parents along with me, definitely, I would prefer them to come along with me. It's because they are the strength and support behind each and every daughter or son. This is my dream destination because I'm a person who loves to travel across the world to explore new places, traditions, to meet interesting people, and also, traveling helps me to broaden my perspective of life. So, I would say that traveling is one of the most beautiful adventure or activities that a person can do in their life. Australia is known as the most wealthiest as well as the most safest country among the others after Dubai. So, I would definitely go for Australia, but now, I'll pursue my graduation at United Kingdom and then only Australia.
