My Cardiff - London - Paris Trip Experience

 

The days where I did 20K steps a day. I miss London and Cardiff so much. Although I traveled there for a short amount of time, it holds the best travel memories for me and hubs. A very meaningful one. So many things to see and celebrate, so much to learn and explore. I have shared some of the top moments in my IG story @sf_artography (Euro Trip Album) https://www.instagram.com/sf_artography/

Staying dedicated and being successful doesn't happen overnight. It takes years of hard work, perseverance, studying, learning, improving, preparation, and a lot of sacrifices.

Even when life and situations are tough, stay focused, positive, and make your dreams and ambition happen.

A lot can change when you believe in yourself and never give up. No matter how hard it gets, you gonna make it, we gonna make it!

We traveled +-11,000 kilometers to visit our University. Remembering every little and big moment, it was so worth it!

Working while studying is very challenging. You just need to be extra disciplined, persevere, and be willing to sacrifices so many things (besides financials), including your time, sleep, outings, having fun, and even important decisions that involve yourselves, family, and friends.

It is tough, hectic, demanding, and crazy at times. You just need to work it out during the years, and when you completed it, it will be an incredible achievement (the struggles bae, the struggles).

For me, education is an important investment. I love studying and learning. If you truly focus on the learning process, there are many things you can learn during the journey of you completing an education (any learning form). It also helps to improve the way you think and behave.

I'm glad that I found a life partner who also loves learning and had the chance to pursue our further education together. To more exciting learning journey ahead.

No matter what are your goals and dreams, keep on learning because knowledge is power. Read books/ebooks and news, watch documentaries/informative videos/series, listen to podcasts, do online learnings and certifications, study languages, pick up a positive hobby, or commit something valuable that improves your knowledge, skills, and also attitude. It is boring and not cool only if you think it is. So scrap that mindset, because learning is fun and gives you so many benefits and opportunities!

There are always things to learn in life. It's never too late to learn. Keep learning and keep growing.

The Palace of Westminster or today known as The Houses of Parliament is the oldest royal palace in London, a world heritage site and one of the most recognized buildings in the world.

The northern Clock Tower, now called the Elizabeth Tower which houses Big Ben, the most famous clock in the world, a place from which time is measured.

There were many seabirds around me when I was near the river. Managed to capture one of the beautiful seabirds next to me.

Tower Bridge, the iconic symbol of London that aesthetically complements the Tower of London which it adjoins. It's a moveable bridge that spans the River Thames between the Greater London boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Southwark.

We're lucky to be there at the right time to witness the lifting of the bridge and see the full working Tower Bridge that allows the passing of river traffic beneath it. It was exciting and amazing to see the bridge sophisticated engineering.

I do admire beautiful and artistic architectures, revolutionary engineering and technologies, and sustainability. New experiences and adventures are some of the best way and most exciting modes of learning.

The Sacre-Coeur, top of the Montmartre summit. Beautiful architecture style and it has a shiny white look as when the stones contact with water/rains, it releases a substance, called “calcite” that cleans the stone and enables it to keep its white colour.

Sacre-Coeur is also one of the most peaceful places in the city. Montmartre is an artsy and peaceful part of the French capital. You can also appreciate the Paris skyline from the top of Montmartre Hill.
