I know there are several threads for first time travellers but I was wondering what people thought about my worries......

I am 26 and would love to go to Canada,California.....so many different tours but I am painfully shy with hardly any self esteem and was wondering whether travelling on my own would be a good idea. Are people friendly etc

Thank you in advance

I went on my first JY holiday in September to California, it was amazing visited so many great places. I am quite a shy person, but it was ok, everyone is really friendly and it really boosts your confidence. I made lots of friends and we still keep in touch. I enjoyed it so much, I have booked another holiday to Texas and New Orleans in April, so again I am nervous but really looking forward to it. I think you should pluck up the courage and go for it, you will be glad you did afterwards. Good Luck!

Hiya,

I was thinking the same as you; the tours look great and was a bit scared to go by myself but thought yep just go so have booked tour to Prague, Vienna and Budapest. The tours all sound great and are all arranged for you so don't need to worry about organising anything by yourself!!

Will of course keep you posted with how it goes but i'd say go for it! :shy:

I was thinking the same as you but have decided to book a tour- all the hassle of travelling alone (sorting everything out; transfers etc is done for you) and they are meant to be great 🙂

will let you know how it all goes but i'd say go for it!

Yes it is a good idea and yes people are friendly. I personally would recommend doing a short break to get the feel of things; maybe a discovery weekend or a European weekend break. Then if you have a good time go for Canada and California. Don't worry about being shy - just go for it and get booking!

Have fun :)

I have been on several JY tours and people are friendly. There are always first-timers on every trip. Maybe it would be better to try a shorter holiday to begin with. You will find however that although there are a few in their 20s 30s most people are 40 plus. Dont let this put you off as generally it doesnt make a difference.

Go on try it!

Go for it!

I've done two holidays so far the first to Americas golden west and there was a good mix of ages including 2 ladies in their 20's (18 people total 11 ladies, 7 men).

My 2nd trip was to Andalucia in november and there was one lady in her 20's although the majority were 50 upwards (45 of us 10 men 35 ladies).

Just booked my 3rd hol to mallorca in april.

To be honest age didn't matter on either trip everyone mixed just great. Everyone is single and I'm sure many have the same fears as yourself but all I'll say is most people seem to book again.

Go for it!!

Hi,

I have very similar worries to you, and as yet have not taken the plunge to book anything, although i keep looking. I am 29, and would like to travel more but worry about the language barrier when visiting places and having to find places to eat.

What have you decided on?

Help from any others: When trips are only half board, do you go and eat in places as a group or do you all do your own thing?

Many thanks

I really want to give it a go so maybe early next year I will

Hi! I'm Amy! I really want to do the Americas Golden West tour, but like you am quite shy and I'm worried about flying out there by myself. I am 23 years old but this is something I've always wantes to do, at the end of the day everyone is in the same position, so you just have to go for it! It will be worth it in the end!! Hope you decide to go for it!! 🙂
