This is my first time writing on a site asking for advice. I am taking a sabattical in September for a year and planning on going to central and South America as a lone traveller. I've always wanted to visit but am so unbelievably nervous at going by myself and backpacking - never done it before and I'm 37! Please can someone give me advice, I'd reallyapprciate it as haven't slept soundly since November!

Calm down this is meant to be fun!!!! WOW what great fun a sabattical sounds wonderfull I have just come back from NZ and a young guy on that tour was on a sabattical and he stayed behind for another 3 weeks..

Is there a tour within the JY brochure that you think you might start or end this adventure with then. I have done 8 JY tours if there is anything I can help with just ask..

Hi Cindy,

I really just wanted some advice on roughly how much 10 months away will cost for simple, clean accommodation etc... I guess the idea of going alone is a bit daunting that's all.

Thanks

Thanks Cindy,

I'm just a bit daunted by travelling alone as I've not done it like this before - I know I'll meet fellow travellers en route it's just a tad nerve wracking prior to travel,

Thanks

Thanks Cindy,

it's just a bit daunting prior to travel as I haven't travelled alone on this scale before. I know I'll meet fellow travellers - guess I need a bit of faith in myself hey!

I really need to learn how to use this site! Just realised how many replies I've sent thinking they hadn't gone through - what a wally!

Hi

All messages are checked before they go through so it can take a couple of days for your message to appear...just have to be patient 🙂

This site really is for the people who are going on a JY tour Holiday, we do not make our own travel arrangements and hotel booking that's all done for us by JY, we just turn up and they sort us all out!!!!..

I am sure there might be some questions we can help you with, I have travelled around this world and loved every moment.well apart from hours sitting on planes. So if I can help you with a question then pick my brains.

Good Luck

Cindy
