Many thanks

Well I took the plunge and decided to book a JY holiday last year (aged 52) after losing my partner and loved it so did another later in the year. Already looking forward to 2 holidays I've booked so far this year (April and June) so I obviously speak highly of JY.

To be honest I have travelled totally solo in the past and will also do that sometimes but to go with a group of like minded singles is great. You certainly will make friends.

I think 52 is a good age you will find younger and older, my experience so far is ladies ages vary from late 20's to 70's while men 40's to 70's. The majority however are likely to be 50's & 60's and ladies will probably outnumber men, everyone gets on really well, not surprising as we are all there for the same reason "a good holiday".

Whatever holiday you chose its very unlikely you'll be the only fit timer, you are likely to find a good mix of regulars and beginers.

Everyone

Hello and Welcome

So what sort of tips would you like to hear about?

Sit down and have a look and when you see a holiday that you fancy BOOK IT you will have a great time. I am 52 and have been on 6 JY tours with Tuscany and Newzealnad book for the future. All tours I have done have been good, scenery and history have been amazing and the people I have met along the way have been a great bunch. Ther are always far more ladies than men on a trip, and people do seem to mix altogether very quickly. So I hope you find something and give it a go.

Good luck on what ever decision you make, I have travelled a few times alone, but this is the first time with a group of people who are in the exact same position (Sole). MargaretH

I was very nervous when I did my first trip, everyone is but it's only natural. I would highly recommend it, you will make lots of new friends even if you are shy like me. People will always make you feel welcome and the trips I've been on have been well worth the money.

My first trip was to The Golden West in America and I am going to Texas and New Orleans in 2 weeks time which goes to show I enjoyed it!! I've been to Canada as well which was my favourite.

Give it a go, just do a week or so the first time to see if you like it. I don't know of anybody who hasn't enjoyed themselves.

You'll be fine, go on...you know you want to!!

I am 45 and am also a widow (hate that word) my husband died in a road accident on 13th November 2010.

I have never been on a singles holiday before but have booked to go to Vietnam in July. Somewhere I have always wanted to go, and I will be away for my first birthday alone without my wonderful husband.

One thing I have learn't in the last few months is that life can be very cruel and cut short at anytime. So we must grab any oppurtunities that come along.

Not sure if Vietnam is your type of holiday but happy to have you tag along if you think it might be.
