Travel Safe

What are your main concerns regarding independent travelling?

  1. safety
  2. child being too far away to help if in trouble.
  3. unknown country, attitudes towards women, sharing accommodation with strangers.
  4. i just don't feel it's appropriate for a child!
  5. safety
  6. i would much prefer both my children to be in a group when traveling.
  7. safety and well-being
  8. not having another person there to assist with good decision-making.
  9. does this mean traveling alone? i would encourage and support traveling as i think it is a great life experience, but i would worry about the higher risks, especially for a single woman, of traveling alone. at least with a friend or a small group, it would be safer.
  10. i would feel my child would be more vulnerable on their own as i would feel it would be safer to travel in a group or at least in a pair as they could help each other if anything happened.
  11. who she can trust, with drugs and alcohol adding to her vulnerability.
  12. threat from the opposite sex.
  13. well-being being taken advantage of
  14. not to put themselves in danger not to trust always let people know how and where you are
  15. all the previously mentioned concerns plus what if they lost their phone, wallet, or had their passport stolen?
  16. loneliness, safety, lack of friends you know and trust.
  17. safety
  18. that i would miss them too much.
  19. vulnerable on their own.
  20. single and vulnerable as a woman
  21. vulnerability, especially if female lack of companionship to share experiences with/support if needed
  22. being in a foreign country where it is more difficult to assess risk.
