Independent means

Imagine an eleven year old boy going abroad for the first time alone, he is leaving with three friends and an adult to Brazil and is extremely nervous.

I was on a camp in Sau Paulo that lasted for a month, it is and will always be one of the highlights in my life. I learned so incredibly much about myself and how to treat people. I got some friends that I will never forget and always will respect. We talked about things like world peace and racism so I learned a lot of that sorts of things too.

To travel alone can help you gain independence and experience like no other thing, you can choose what to see, what to eat and what to buy without your parents coming in the way.

I really didn’t have any reasons to be nervous, I love to travel with my family but this was totally different, you got to do things independently and choose what to do all by yourself, you gain new experiences that you never would get with your parents. It’s just a whole different way of traveling.

I would love to go traveling without my parents again sometime, and I absolutely will.
