Hi, like you I'm also a widow and I want to travel the world. I went on my first trip with JY to Puglia, Italy this year and it was great! There were many others on the trip in the same situation and it was a great way to meet new people and share travel experiences, many of whom I found had already been on multiple trips with JY. I'm now going to Sri Lanka in October 25 and also doing the Spirit of India in February 26 with 2 lovely ladies I met in Puglia. I can highly recommend JY.
