I was on an Expedition Cruise to South America, Chile and Peru when I was suddenly taken very ill. Back on the ship I was taken directly to the medical centre for evaluation. Find out how I coped with the situation and what I needed to do to change my plans and return to the UK with my existing travel date. (It was Easter weekend which compounded my issues and there was no early flight availability! ) I am sharing my journey with you - other solo’s especially females over 60 so that you can see there is nothing to be afraid of travelling as a solo even when you get ill. I walk you through step by step what I planned and how I did it. Stay to the to see what happened next and how I feel about the whole experience. Have you joined the After60: Solo Travel Scene yet? Are you planning a micro or macro adventure? Please put a comment below as I love chatting with fellow solo travellers and hearing about their solo journey. Website www.travelgran.com

For those wondering, a "lop" is a flea. Hence, "Fit as a lop" means full of vim and vigour.
wow! What an experience.
I hope that this video has been of some help to you. Travelling alone we ladies sometimes feel very vulnerable even before anything happens. By being able to share my experience, I hope it’s going to equip you with the knowledge and information you need should you experience a similar situation. I hope though you don’t ever have to. If you know other solo travellers please pass on the link of my video so that we can help as many people as we can. Information and knowledge is power they say, and I can honestly say I feel even more confident now going forward because I am not being ‘frightened’ of the unknown. Have you ever had a similar experience? Please comment and share with others as it’s a great support mechanism.
