Venice Travel Video

Quarantine has hit everyone hard here. We're expecting for summer holiday soon but things seem still far away. We should be in Greece last week but our plan has cancelled because of coronavirus. I don't want to feel disappointed, this is something we didn't expect. Everyone is having the same disappointment.

I should be grateful really. We still can sleep peacefully at night and we just need to stay at home now.

Purple Pink Sky in Nice and Fireworks








Nice is one of the most beautiful beaches in French Riviera that I'd like to visit. French Riviera aka Côte d'Azur is the Mediterranean seashore in southeastern of France that is famous for the beautiful beaches.

After our trip to Rome here, we took the flight to France, specifically, Nice. We arrived just a few hours before the sunset. I still remember how my heart widened happily for the fact that we finally arrived in Nice. It was a lovely way to spend our evening.

My Hectic Last Day in Rome

Reading Time    |    6 min 27 sec





Oh, how I wish Italy is the same as it was before. Seeing all the news about the recent case in Italy is concerning. It hurts my heart, but I can't do anything for them except a prayer. Let's pray together for Italy and the world. This epidemic takes a lot of lives around the world, ready or not; we're at this age, so please implement social distancing wherever you are.


I'm going to continue my writing about my travel diary in Rome now. I hope you're not growing bored of me, lol. Since we all can't travel right now, I want to embrace my memories and write it down so I could treasure it.

The Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica

Reading Time    |    10 min 21 sec     





Last summer in Rome was sweltering. We went to Vatican city on our second day in Rome. Did you know that Vatican City is the world's smallest recognized independent country? I was surprised that this little city has a population of fewer than 1000 people living within the Vatican walls.

And it is one of UNESCO's world heritage sites with its walled enclave nestled within Rome.

Rome: The Roman Empire

Reading Time    |     9 min 39 sec.





Rome has been around for almost three thousand years and yet carries all that weight of history with their Roman empire dominance around Europe. We all learned about it in school, right? When I first read and studied the history of ancient Rome, my mind wandered and imagined how powerful they were.

Florence's Romance In The Air

Reading Time    |    8 min 52 sec




If you have read my journey in Venice here and here, this is the sequel for my summer trip stories.

Florence or Firenze (in Italian) is located in the centre of Italy and is a capital city of the Tuscany region. I don't remember exactly when I put Florence in my bucket list, but mainly because it was the birthplace of Rennaisance. I'm an art enthusiast, and Rennaisance is one of my favourite eras so I'd love to visit this city at least once in my life.





Besides that, Florence is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and approved by UNESCO in 1982. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries. The architecture and heritage of Florence are acknowledged all around the world.

The Original Venezia - day 02

    
Reading Time    |    11 min 31 sec




On our second day in Venezia, we've arranged to explore San Marco square to find some iconic sights like St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. We woke up a bit late, but we were not in a rush that day. We wanted to enjoy our summer vacation with our laid-back style. 😂

The Original Venezia - day 01

Reading Time    |    8 min 44 sec.



I still couldn't believe that I was in Venice this summer, it was a magical and romantic adventure for my husband and me. We began our day in Venice by landing in the afternoon. We waited for more than 45 minutes for a boat ride to the old city, where all the canals and gondola existed!

The Oldest Patisserie in Paris

Reading Time    |    4 min 50 sec




That morning I woke up late and didn't do my hair again (2 days straight in Paris, duh!). As I was pretty lazy to do makeup as well, I didn't wear contact lens and put natural make up to save my time. I thought as long as I don't look pale or sick, that was fine.


Stohrer, I didn't know about this patisserie before, all I knew is just Ladurée and Pierre Hermé. My host was the one who recommends this store to us, she is a friendly woman. I'd love to stay at her place again if I visit Paris.

Picturesque Montmartre, I shall be back!

Reading Time    |    4 min 46 sec




Even though it was raining since the morning, we didn't cancel our plan to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. It is probably one of the most historical monuments in Paris. The district, Montmartre, is one of the prettiest hill and area that my husband always adore. He said he'll never get enough of Montmartre, and now I know the reason why.

11.06.18 - Paris with my Family

Reading time    |     7 min 38 sec


One day in June, the weather was terrible, the rain was pouring almost all day long, and yet we eventually meet again. I spent most of my time growing up with them, my young brother and youngest sister. I could say that we're probably the most intimate siblings around the complex, and we understand each other pretty well. We nearly like a close friend, not just sibling.

Arc de Triomphe Paris



Do you perhaps remember who Napoleon Bonaparte is? Yes, he was the famous military leader and emperor who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. This Arc was commissioned by him in 1806 to celebrate his victory at Austerlitz. It is located at Champs de Elysees, one of the busiest area in Paris.

Saint-Eustache Paris (Why it's awesome!)



On our trip to Paris in June, we stayed near the Les Halles area. When we arrived, we took the Les Hales exit, and we accidentally passed this large church while we were walking to our flat. At that time, I was very impressed with the architecture of this church, which is very gothic, but because our first destination was not here, we only took photos from the outside.

PARIS ♥

The romantic Paris. I still remember, at that time, I was still in high school, I love fashion and found the internet. I fell in love with this city because of fashion and art. Unexpectedly, 17 years later, I could visit this city with my unexpected significant other, my husband, Matt.

Fo Guang Shan Taiwan Trip





1 month before my wedding, I went to Taiwan with my family. I was there for more than a week, quite a lot of time to explore the entire country as Taiwan isn't as big as Indonesia.

Fo Guang Shan is one of many popular destinations in Taiwan. People from different countries retreat to this place to find a peace of mind.

December: London's Christmas Light

Awal Desember lalu kami mulai dengan latihan choir untuk persiapan persembahan lagu natal di gereja. Sebenarnya Mat sama sekali tidak berencana untuk ikut tim choir ini, dia cukup terkejut waktu aku mengajaknya untuk ikut latihan.

Cadbury World

Last Thursday, I went to Cadbury World with Mat. The area is near to our house, so we decided to give it a go. Luckily, it was sunny that day, so we managed to keep our plan to walk there successfully.

JIU FEN SPIRITED AWAY

Di post kali ini, aku ingin share tentang perjalanan aku ke Taiwan 2 bulan lalu bersama dengan keluarga dan teman-teman Papa. Setiap lebaran merupakan hal yang wajib bagi kami sekeluarga untuk jalan-jalan. Sebenarnya, aku dan adik-adik lebih tertarik untuk liburan ke negara-negara di Eropa daripada Asia, namun karena orang tua aku ingin sekali mengunjungi Taiwan maka kami putuskan untuk mengikuti keinginan orang tua.

Kebetulan juga saat itu aku akan segera menikah dengan Mat, maka liburan ini adalah liburan terakhir bersama dengan keluarga dimana aku masih belum berstatus menikah. Mungkin saja setelah ini belum tentu ada kesempatan aku dapat liburan dengan mereka lagi, karena itu walaupun aku tidak begitu tertarik ke Taiwan, aku tetap ikut dengan hati senang.
