I'm a solo traveller newbie, taking the plunge to have an adventure and be brave to do it without my friends or husband in tow. 

The Land of Smiles tour ticks all the boxes for me, the security of being with others and all travel and transfers taken care of, but with free time to chill on the beach for a few days at the end of the tour.

I'm Louise, 47, mother to 4 cats and 10 chickens. Married for 20 years but as we have differing holiday preferences I'm going alone as hubby doesn't want to do long haul anymore.

Say hi if you're joining me on this tour.
