Ashley’s time in the UK has turned into more than just for studies. It has become a beautiful adventure filled with discovery, friendship, and unforgettable memories. Now that she is there, she has quickly embraced every opportunity to explore whenever time permits.
Travelling has become something that she truly loves. With limited time in the UK, she wants to see the world as much as she can before she comes home. So far, she has travelled to Manchester and Vatican City with her close friends. Each trip is filled with unforgettable moments, learning and laughter that will stay with her forever.

What makes these trips even more special is the way the girls plan them together. They would come up with the itineraries, scour the internet for affordable accommodation, and hunt for the cheapest flight, bus, and train tickets. To save money, they walk whenever possible instead of taking taxis or subway trains. I think this is great as the walks allow them to truly soak in the sights and atmosphere of each city.
Right now, Ashley and her friend are enjoying her time in London. She wants to see the magical Christmas decorations that light up the city and make the winter season feel extra special. The festive vibe added another joy to her UK experience. Now, she can’t wait for snow to fall. The girls are already planning a trip to Liverpool later this month.
Ashley and her friends also had hopes of traveling to Germany in January, but because it’s there’s exam during that month, she’s decided to postpone the trip. After all, exams come first, and she can always travel later. Besides, January is the coldest winter month so it’s better that she explore when it’s warmer.
Seeing Ashley explore the world, grow more independent, and embrace new cultures brings so much happiness. This chapter of her life is a great adventure. It is shaping her in ways that are far beyond the classroom. My only wish for her is that she studies hard, stays safe, and remains happy always.
