The first part of my trip had a bit of a rough start during my layover and despite communication issues, Yuyu remained understanding and kind when I requested to amend my check-in date. I embarked on a solo trip to London and I am grateful to have stayed with Yuyu, who welcomed me into her home with open arms, warmth, and cheerfulness. Not only did I feel safe, secure, and comfortable in Yuyu’s home but she also provided a wealth of resources and recommendations for my journey. The home was clean and eco-friendly. The room was true to description: small, clean, and comfortable, which is great for solo travelers and a great way to unwind after a long day of exploring. During the night time, I enjoyed the quality time Yuyu and I shared when we talked and laughed about thought-provoking conversations and our life experiences. Lastly, Yuyu’s home is a great location and has a quick 6-minute walk to the train station, which runs rather frequently and smooth ride to popular destinations. I successfully explored majority of London during my 7-day trip. I will stay with Yuyu again next time I visit London. Yuyu is one of the best host and truly made my first solo journey a special one.
