Hi WaterLilly
I am in the same position, 40 (next year) and wanting to book a solo trip. I'm thinking of Canada but can't see anyone else having signed up for the tour in Feb 2018. I also would like to see some of the reviews from this years tour which finished last month before I make a decision. A solo world tour sounds very exciting mind, only wish I could afford the cost and the time out :P
My concerns are, that I think the itinerary sounds great but a little worried it may be too structured for me. I like to hike/walk for miles and there are a few places I'd like to visit that don't appear on the programme.
Also one of the hotels that is planned for the trip had a fire in December 16 so they have not yet updated the accommodation. Best of luck with your planning.
Mel
