Hi my name is Deb. I am 50 and I have always wanted to travel to China. I don't have a partner or a friend who can afford the trip so I am currently researching solo holidays. I have been to Spain on my own many years ago but I'm quite nervous about making such a long haul trip. I'm sure once I do it once then I'll be away, its just taking the initial plunge I suppose. Can anyone recommend what time of year is best for China? What was your first solo trip like?

Hi Debs

China was my first tour with JY in 2010. I had taken early retirement the previous year and had drawn up a bucket list of places I wanted to visit now that I had the time and money to do so!!!. I took about six months to pluck up the courage to book and almost turned back from my local airport. So glad I didn't as this was a great trip and I have since ticked off another four places on my list. My next trip is to Kerala in two weeks time.

My advice is go for it as life is too short to have regrets.

Hi Deb,

I've not yet done China but its high on my list and is on my christmas possibilities for this year.

On my numerous JY hols i've spoken to many that have done China and all the feedback has been positive.

My first JY hol was Americas Golden West, was nervous a little but absolutely loved it and met some great people. Booked my 2nd holiday on my return.

Hi Debs.

My first trip with JY was to Cilento Coast in 2010. I had done some independent travel before that. It was a really nice experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Enjoy China if you decide to go!!

Hi Debbee

I would say Just Go For it. Life is too short. You will have a wonderful time and travelling with Just You is a great experience. My first trip with Just You was to Jordan in September 2009 and since then I have been on 8 more trips, am going to one next Friday (just a short trip to Lille) and have booked for Kerala in November this year. I have also booked two long haul trip for next year. I have enjoyed each and every holiday to date and am looking forward to many more with Just You.

My first trip was the Classic Cities of Italy. I actually felt a bit sick as the plane came in to land in Italy as i didn't know what to expect but fast forward a week later, i was having such a great time that i didn't want to come home. I've already booked another trip.

Just book it, you'll have a brilliant time.

Thanks everyone! I might book a short trip somewhere first before I go for the long haul just to test the water! Its good to hear such great feedback though.
