3 months in South East Asia
Previously, I have planned my own trips and travelled solo, alongside, signing up for the more typical group/ tour travel itineraries.
I wanted something different and longer. After 3 months, in South Asia with Decades, I know I’ve found it. I will absolutely travel with them again at some point…
It was a wonderful experience and I am so thrilled I did it. There were numerous experiences I would never have done if travelling on my own; a hot air balloon in Laos and a pillion motorbike ride through Vietnam. I absolutely loved them and truly appreciated those opportunities.
The logistics of the trip were also impressive with everything going perfectly to plan.
Decades gave me the balance between being independent and in a group and I loved being longer in places and actually unpacking!
I liked having time to create my own pace and to relax and not, follow a group for a night here, and another immediately, somewhere else.
Decades gave me an opportunity;
- to travel and explore in depth without having to organise it all myself
- to mix and socialise with others when I wanted to and to be independent
- to experience unique and amazing Adventure Days
- to have support, through our “host”, when and if needed. Initially, I wondered if a host was necessary, but the support was invaluable and not at all intrusive
- to stay in some amazing accommodation and have my own room
- to experience so many different ways of travelling. I will never forget the wonderful 2 day slow boat to Thailand.
It is what I want in retirement and I feel very lucky to have had this experience with Decades.
