Recently I had a relatively free day so I booked a train ticket to Cardiff to explore the streets and National Museum! I wished that I could have seen more - especially the castle - but I was glad I got to see what I did in the few hours that I was there. Such a beautiful city and I hope I go back soon!!

I think you will learn, over time, that solo travel is AMAZING. It's my preferred way of traveling all over the world.

Many thanks for this little tour vid. I had not even heard of that city in the UK. We’re used to newer buildings here in the US and often hear about how old things are there, but it seemed there is a good mix there too.

Have an amazing time! While you're in the area you should definitely go to St. Fagan's living history museum - I went back to Wales recently and it was one of the neatest museums I've ever been to :)

I have done a lot of solo travel in my life. It's fun to hang out with friends but I sometimes enjoy some "ME" time all by myself. The last time I spent one whole day at the British Museum all by myself.

6:18 Statue of a Welsh hero, Aneurin Bevan, founder of the National Health Service, followed by Friary Gardens... one of my favorite places in Cardiff

Interesting trip. It would also be great to see some of your experiences at the University of Bristol i.e. studying at the library, interacting with students and/or professors, and how you are enjoying your time studying abroad!

Makayla, which train station in London did you board the train to Cardiff? How much did you pay for the train ticket?

@annasewell8686 Жыл бұрын

Uk girl here, there are bus apps you can download to help you with the buses. Also, as your a student you should get reduced fares x

Hello Mam I am from India applying to study at United States and I really need your help with the college process can you please help me to clear my doubts. I would be very thankful mam

Well done for having the confidence to travel solo. You have obviously begun to settle-in and feel a bit "at home". If you think that Bristol is hilly, don't bother going to Edinburgh! A quick question, can you tell me just why many people from the US are so terrified of birds? I'm just curious because, in all of England's long history, no-one has been killed by a bird. Best wishes for study and travel...........................................the ancient Englishman.

Haha I was more startled by the birds - then only afraid I’d be the target of bird poop! And thank you so much, it’s such a beautiful city that I can’t imagine not settling in 😊
