Considering booking my first Contiki..
7 Jun 2012 Kristof asked
Hey all,
my real dream is to go and visite the USA some day,
And now that i lost my girlfriend its maybe the time to do things instead of dreaming them.
but i'm still doubting on making that step, i've never traveled alone and i'm sort of a shy guy..
is it really worth to make the step? some convincing would be welcome..
thnx all

Hi…
Ive just booked my 1st Contiki to Thailand…From the Uk…So im a bit nervous but also excited! Never been travelling on my own like this before so it will be different.
I think its worth doing, you only live once and you should enjoy itCraig

yeah it is quite expensive but only cause you flight from city to city rather than getting a bus, so worth it though :)

Hey it’s worth doing I did my first through Europe last year and I’m going again in sep but I too am very shy and I found that it did so much for my confidence and it’s a great experience

hey kate,
well thats one of the reasons i’m willing to take a contiki instead of doing things alone,
Europe is nice, does the tour take you trough belgium?- 0 people like this

Im going to the USA this time but I loved Europe and hope to get back there soon I would love to see belgium and greece this time. And I found contiki a good way to go because you have a lot of choice and you can choose to go it alone or with people.just remember it your holiday do what you want to.I am hoping that I get the same if not a better experience thi time.

Hey, I have done 5 contiki tours before by myself and had a fantastic time on each. Just booked another tour in America next year. Contiki is a great way to explore other countries and you will make great new friends along the way. Well worth doing

Hi. I agree completely with Brad and Simon. I’m sure any Contiki USA would be great (I’ve done 2 this year). If you can budget for it, I would definitely recommend the Grand Southern in the warmer months – you will have the time of your life! Don’t however join a tour or leave midway – I did the first half of the Grand Southern and it was the hardest thing to walk away in New Orleans whilst all my new friends travelled on to New York.
