Kapuso host and soon-to-be bride Joyce Pring recalled her exceptional solo trip to Scotland in 2016, right before she jumps off into the next chapter of her life as a wife.

On Wednesday, Joyce shared her soul-fulfilling trip to Edinburgh, Scotland where she studied at Oxford University.

2016, I was 23 years old and traveling through some of my favourite cities in the other side of the world. I had decided to spend my summer studying at Oxford University, living in a dorm for the first time in my life, meeting students from different countries, etching memories in my brain that would constantly enthral me to go back there again. Before I stayed in Oxford, though, I made a side trip to Edinburgh, Scotland -- it was my second time then (I had a quick visit in 2015 when I went to London and absolutely fell in love with it) and one of my girl friends who lived in the UK @cdignadice decided to take a train and share a BnB over a weekend exploring it, before we traveled to another city, Leeds. Looking back at these photos, my heart shoots up in gratitude that I took time out of my work schedule then to carve out experiences that taught me so much and stirred up an abounding sense of inquisitiveness, delight, and adventure within me. So much of who I am today are pieces from the places and people I had met and fallen in love with during these trips. As I also prepare for the next chapter in my life, I cant thank God enough for the privilege of looking forward to traveling again and exploring the world with the one whom He has appointed as my husband, my heart, my travel buddy. Though I will forever cherish the years I've spent traveling and living in other cities by myself, I'm utterly thrilled that I've someone to soon forever share them with. May we never lose this unquenchable desire to jump out of our comfort zones right into unfamiliar spaces. ✈️ Off to the next adventure! #joythtotheworld #waybackwednesday #Edinburgh #Leeds #Oxford

While she loves traveling by herself, Joyce admits that she can't wait to explore the world again with his fiancé, Madrasta actor Juancho Trivino.

“As I also prepare for the next chapter in my life, I can't thank God enough for the privilege of looking forward to traveling again and exploring the world with the one whom He has appointed as my husband, my heart, my travel buddy.
