“In January, I went to Hawaii, and I went for a whole week eating acai bowls and fruit and it was the best time of my life. We played volleyball for our club tournament for the first few days which was the main reason we went on the trip. I think I spent more time on the beach instead of playing volleyball. I was there with my friend Katie Burkholder and we both swam in the ocean a lot. I think Hawaii is where I belong because I had so much fun, and I could’ve stayed there forever. It was one of my favorite trips I’ve ever been on,” Elise Nilsen said.
