Who goes? Yuki or I?
私は雪さんに行って欲しい。
I was told this sentence means "I want Yuki to go there." I thought it meant "I want to go to Yuki". I am not sure I understand why it means that. And how would I say "I want to go to Yuki"?

「〜てほしい」は、誰かになにかをしてほしいときに使います。
= Speaker wants someone to do something.
「君にてつだってほしい」
「しずかにしてほしい」
In comparison with it, 「〜(verb) たい」means that "I want to do something."
"I want to go to Yuki." = 「私は雪さんのところに行きたい。」
「〜(noun) がほしい」means "want something".
I want a digital camera.
In English, we use the word "want" in these cases, but is has several meanings depending on the combination of words.

This means " I want Yuki should go there, Therefore Yoki shoud go
~してほしい（want ) inflenced to sub sentance of (雪さんに行く) yoki go
therefore This time Yuki should go
