A three-month solo trip across Europe included a focus on overcoming fears of flying, traveling alone, and meeting new people. The journey began in London, motivated by love for British culture. Initially nervous about approaching locals, a commitment was made to initiate daily conversations on public transit. Observing Tube etiquette revealed cultural norms, but engagement with strangers ultimately led to forming friendships, understanding the city better, and gaining social confidence. The vibrancy of London resonated deeply from the start of the visit.
I decided to embark on a three-month solo trip across Europe... as a connoisseur of British-set murder mysteries, UK pop culture, and English singers, I knew that I had to spend a few weeks in London.
I pushed myself to strike up at least one conversation a day with a stranger on public transit... I loved observing people on the Tube... quick note of the Tube's unspoken rules.
I made friends I still talk to today, learned about the city, and developed new social skills.
London's infectious energy charmed me immediately... I loved the street style and the way groups of friends hit the pubs at 5 p.m.
