Say hello to our Just You Brand Ambassador, Janet Ellis. Broadcaster, author and actress, Janet joins us to explore the world of Just You as a solo traveller.
No stranger to travelling for both work and leisure, we’re delighted to have Janet on board to see the world through a solo travel lens having lost her husband John in 2020. Janet collected plenty of fond memories while exploring the world with John, including many from one of their favourite places, Japan:
“John was the ideal travelling companion- practical, excited and fun. He loved exploring and trying new things, from food to far-flung sights.
"I felt so nervous about going anywhere without him after he died and didn’t think I’d be able to enjoy myself . But John would have hated the world to shrink for me and he’d thoroughly approve of Just You - they’re as reassuring, open and adventurous as he was. I know he’d be proud of me now.”
With two tours already ticked off Janet’s solo travel list: South Africa and New York City, we were keen to discover what has been her favourite thing about touring with Just You…
“I love getting to know people, and the opportunity to holiday with such a variety of people has been an absolute pleasure. Sharing our motivations to start solo travelling which can often be similar reasons to your own, to revelling in those wow moments, there’s something surreal and special in being brought together to explore the world.”
