Is Jersey worth visiting?
Solo travel experience
I went to Jersey and it was absolutely incredible. Lots of things to do, many beaches and charming cafes. The weather was great - sunny all the time. The flight only took 50 minutes from Manchester and I came back sun-tanned. It's a really easy island to explore. It was my first solo trip and it gave me the courage to go further next time.
