Hi Shar

 Just got back - had an amazing time, met some awesome people. The group got on well throughout the holiday even though there was a range of ages every one just got on well. There was a real good vibe on the bus everyone was talking to each other and kept switching seats so everyone got to talk to everyone else. 

For anyone who still has doubts...

I was 26 before I decided that going on holiday with my parents was not cool anymore! I am a very shy person and will never make the first move, so I decided to book a trip I would feel comfortable on. I am a massive motorsports fan so I went to the Formula One race in Canada and the US. I knew I would be with people with the same interest, and I had already been to the States so knew the food/language/culture would not scare me.

This gave me the condfidence I needed, and I have now been on 13 trips solo, five with Exodus. The groups have ranged in size from 4 (3 women and me) to 100, and 14 to 70+ years old. I am often youngest, sometimes by 20+ years!

The main thing to realise is that you are going somewhere you want to, or doing something you enjoy, and so will the other people on the trip. This immediately gives you something in common with your fellow travellers and a great ice-breaker over the first dinner. You will come away with a list of places to go that grows with each holiday.

I never thought I would go to the corners of the world that I have, and now regret waiting so long. Would I prefer a travelling companion? Sometimes. Will being on my own stop me? Never.
