Do you travel?

I have always enjoy travelling especially after my very first trip to part of Europe. It was with my close friend, Nora, who i knew since i was 19. We tagged along her sister who had a work conference at Amsterdam. From Amsterdam, we took a train to Belgium and then stayed a couple days at Luxembourgh before making our way to Denmark from Schiphol.

After that it was my honeymoon in one of my favourite cities in the world, Rome, the land of the gladiators where Julius Caesar once ruled. My first time bringing my newbie husband travelling across continents to the most romantic city in the world. Then it was Bali, going back to the roots of Hinduism that was once our religion in the archipelago. London was next together with my family as a treat for them. It is one of my favourite cities too and perhaps, if Allah is willing, that will be the place my ambition and dreams materialise.  2010, my husband planned a vacation to Turkey where we were amazed not only by history but also development of Islam, our faith. Allah Maha Besar! Allah Maha Besar! In this world lies the secret of our maker, Allah Subhanallah Hi Wa Taala.

A close friend of mine shared with me that she first travelled at the age of 16 and that was to London. Her mum actually saved every penny to expand her daughter's mind and thoughts although she is a single mum and they were living in a one-roomed flat. She told me her mum had always value education and that is the reason why all 5 of her daughters are degree holders despite losing their sole bread winner at a very young age. I hope to be that kind of mother. Insya-Allah.
