Toast It Up
by Yuki Hayashi
What makes your day better? What brightens up your day? For me, it’s a conversation with others: my family, friends, or even with strangers that I happened to start talking to. And what I’ve realized is that "It is us people that lets us appreciate to be alive. It is us people that brings us happiness." On this podcast, hosted by a toast and croissant loving individual, Yuki Hayashi, I am sharing the stories from the interactions with others that I find inspiring and encouraging as well as funny and relaxing. About myselfHaving a huge love for toast and croissant, I am an undergraduate student at University College London (UCL) in the UK.Originally born and raised in Japan for 18 years, I moved to the UK 5 years ago. Current biggest passions: Breakdance (breaking), piano, learning languages
