Of all the sites on tt this one has the least traffic. I travel with two girls, its the best gift I can give. I'm hoping to teach them to think on their feet, think for themselves, not
to be afraid and above all self confidence. What better gift
can you give a child. We are using travel as education.
I hope this is teaching them to be tolarant & understanding
of other cultures and respectful. We have met incredible
people and been to wild places, push those comfort zones.
Most cultures embrace children so buy the tickets and go.
Our 14 year old earns the money for her ticket and we
decide where we can afford to go, joint decision.
My husband won't go with us but he is very supportive
and always picks us up at the airport. He sees the benefits
that backpacking has had on the girls. Anyway hope to see you all out on the road. Happy Trails!!
