About Me

Hi! I’m Veronica, a peruvian communication specialist that works in education and environmentalism. Currently, I’m in London for the first time, but I’m planning to do solo travel to France (for a concert) and Austria (for the art). I can’t believe I finally took a backpack and began travelling by my own!

About Me

I'm a freelance UX and service designer, currently community manager for a small non-profit. I enjoy solo travel as an introvert, going at my own pace and planning my day, but sometimes miss sharing experiences and adventures with others. I tend to stay in boutique hostels with female dorms or Airbnbs. (I'm always up for sharing accommodation or rentals!) I'm a foodie (vegetarian), coffee lover, culture vulture, love urban photography and just coddiwompling around. I don't drink much (maybe socially) and am not a party person. I kind of had an existential/early mid-life crisis during the pandemic, feeling like I'm missing out on life and what if the next year brings something even worse!? So I cancelled my lease in London and went travelling. As a millennial I'm unlikely to but my first home any time soon, and 50% off my income went on rent, so in order to save up (and work part time for my mental health), I'm house and pet-sitting. My itinerary: 🇵🇹 Portugal until 15.5. 🇪🇦 Spain 18.5.-1.7. 🇧🇻 Denmark 1.7.-20.7. 🇸🇪 Sweden 20.07.-22.7. 🇬🇧 UK 29.7.-24.8. 🇭🇷 Croatia 24.8.-20.9. If you'd like to follow along with my trips, you can find me on Instagram 📷 @coddiwomplingdumpling ✏️ Also! Please contribute to my list of hostels with female-only dorms if you discover a gem https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/D8OAFWAR7H21iTMn_rV_iYLuA9M6qQ

Solo travel experience

I highly recommend going solo to London as an American or english speaker it’s so easy to get around and it’s refreshing to be able to communicate with people! I took a solo trip when I was studying abroad in Rome and even though I was only there for 2 days it was a blast. I used the tube to get around and walked a lot too. Definitely ride the London Eye and eat some fish and chips. It’s a bit pricey because the conversion to pounds is more than dollars and euros so just be aware of that. Hostels are decently cheap and there are plenty of activities to do around. I went to a concert there and met some really cool people!! Do plan to bring layers and an umbrella the weather can be pretty gray. Go to Gail’s bakery and drink some tea while you’re there, too!

Very cool city! I was not expecting much, and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the vibe! So much to do, see, eat! The only down side for me was how expensive everything is! Except museums. They are free 😜

London is indeed a wonderful city! There's so much to do and experience there. The nightlife is vibrant, and there are plenty of bars and clubs to explore. Getting around is easy with trains, taxis, and buses readily available. The food is also amazing, with a wide variety of cuisines to choose from 😄🇬🇧
