Would backpacking overseas with my teenage daughter rob her of the pleasure of discovering this for herself?
Odd question, I guess. By "backpacking," I mean traveling between towns/cities and staying in hostels for a week or two, not sleeping in the wilderness. Basically your generic, well-worn backpacking trails through Central America or South East Asia or what have you.
I "discovered" solo travel and living out a backpack well into my adulthood, and the learning process (e.g., how much I can carry, how little I need, what minimal accomodations I can stand, etc) was an integral part of the fun, and in many ways, a part of my self-discovery.
If I take my 16 y/o with me on my next trip (we are very close and have traveled together domestically before), I am robbing her of the experience of finding out for herself?
