[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it and my DH did it but we couldnt' get our DC to do it. Despite our best efforts incl hosting european HS students and forming relationships with them with this idea in mind - still no go. Absolute home bodies.

No we're not rich and being rich is not a requirement to go to europe and stay in hostels.[/quote]

I posted that my kid isn’t doing it and neither is anyone we know.  DH and I did too, but in the 90s and a summer near the end of college after saving up.  Those few years looking back made us seem a lot older than 18 and just graduating HS.  Backpacking and youth hostels.  [/quote]

You are right - I mis-remembered or misread.  Sorry OP.  We went after college graduation.  I did go with a group in high school that was supervised.  A few years older does make a big difference imho.  The world is different - in some ways safer with phones and general public safety services and awareness but on the other hand kidnapping enterprises such as pig butchering/scamming are far, far more sophisticated.  I'm not sure I'd be wild doubt a kid not familiar with the area or without local contacts going too far afield unless they could afford to stay and travel in very safe accommodations.  [/quote]
