Roy’s Story - Guest

I’m not the most outgoing person naturally. Before my first One Traveller holiday, I wondered how I’d get on with a group of people I’d never met. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Every trip I’ve been on has been with a wonderful bunch of people. Everyone’s friendly and helpful, and they make you feel at home. 

I’ve travelled solo before, so I know there can be quite a bit to organise. With One Traveller, the arrangements are taken care of. There are no airport connections to sort out and no tickets to book for attractions. You can just turn up and enjoy it. That’s a big part of the attraction for me, and the information and support have been first class. 

It’s hard to pick a favourite trip. California, with its national parks and Las Vegas, would be right up there. I also loved the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver and the Rocky Mountaineer. This year I finally made it to Andalusia. I’d wanted to visit Seville and Granada and see the Alhambra for years, so when I saw the holiday, I booked it almost straight away. 

I’ve often wondered why more men don’t join these holidays, because I think they’re missing out on a lot. I’ve seen places I might never have visited otherwise, and in some ways it’s changed my life. My advice? You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I should have done it earlier. Don’t think too long. Book it. 

If you’re wondering whether you need to be outgoing to enjoy a group holiday, I hope my experience reassures you. You can be yourself and still find good company.
