Hello there!
I am in the same situation as many of you.....my friends are not that keen on travelling and I love it.
I have never travelled alone but need to take the plunge!!!! Some of these JY holidays look amazing!! I am wondering if I would be the granny of the group!!I am 63......but I suppose here is a mixed age group ...well happy browsing!!!!
Hi Anthea
I've just returned from my first solo & certainly one of the best holidays I've ever had.
I did the JY Wonder of China tour on 24th Oct and like you I had oh so many doubts and reservations about travelling alone for the first time at the age of 62.
I had such an amazing time and was astounded at how quickly a group of solo strangers can become almost like family in such a short space of time, I was sad to say goodbye to them!! The ages of the group ranged between late 30s & late 70s and the 'youngsters' were in the minority! So certainly not the granny of the group. I recommend that you think about it calmly for a moment and you'll realise that, because they've all booked the same holiday as you they will be of a same mind and probably outlook as you and you won't be alone.
We had a tour manager with us to sort out any logistical hiccups and in each location there was also a local tour guide who was invaluable for local information also with communicating when language becomes a problem, so the JY staff look after you very well.
Take the plunge I'm sure you won't regret it. For me it was the first step for lots of travelling adventures 🙂
