[quote=Anonymous][quote]When she says, "Mom, what do you think of this hotel?" You say something like, "Check the reviews and make sure the area is safe. Check the cost of parking too--sometimes they gouge you on that." Then you let her do it. You don't do the checking for her. She's an adult.[quote] This. Don't dictate, just give pointers on how to "adult". I would also share stories from my own time travelling as a college student and how to be situationally aware. I am remembering getting propositioned by a seedy hostel manager in Amsterdam. Tell her actual experiences of yours and friends and how those situations were navigated successfully (or not). Most important thing for young women travelling is to learn to trust your gut and not feel obligated to just "be nice". [/quote]
