Hello - I am nearly 62 and wondering if I am too old for this Group. I was bereaved just over a year ago and am new to holidaying alone. Before I book a sampler weekend I would like to know that I would fit in age wise.

Hi Jane

You certainly would fit in age-wise. The majority of our customers are in their 50s and 60s, although we have plenty from other age groups too. I hope you will decide to give us a try.

Kind regards

Olly, your editor

Hi Jane

Like you I was nervous when I first thought about going on my own. Lost my wife after 46 years in 2009 and I am 72. I am going on a Discovery Weekend in August to Leeds to see how I get on alone. Although, looking through all the posts you are not alone for long. Give it a try, what have you got to lose. Best of luck

Hi Jane

The first holiday alone is quite daunting. For my first single holiday 3 years ago I chose China (talk about jumping in with both feet). When I arrived at Heathrow I wondered why on earth I was putting myself through this. China was wonderful and so were the others in my group. I went to Russia last year (met some lovely people and laughed so much). I'm going to Italy this year and looking forward to making new friends. You will definitely fit in age wise and remember age is just a number. Go for it you won't regret it.

Kind regards

Iris

I was the same age when I took my first JY holiday. I find it difficult to mix but let me just say I have just booked my sixth holiday with JY! Everyone is single and all join together. Go for it, you will not be disappointed.

I've done three JY trips and agrre with what Olly says, you'll find at 62 you'll be bang in the middle age range so don't worry.

Hi Jane

I've done two trips with JustYou in the last six months, (with another booked in September) - ages ranged from early twenties to eighties! At sixtyish you would be considered a youngster and be made very welcome, as indeed is everyone on JustYou tours.

Go for it!!!

Martin.
