Kids Need Travel Too
Dear Savvy Traveler:
About 3 months ago you helped us research how our
son could travel alone and safely for a
month in Europe. You aired our questions and your
answers. We took your advice to heart but our son
applied it instead to a trip to Ecuador. To make a
long story short, he has been there for 6 weeks,
stayed in youth hostels in Quito and Banos,
forfeited his return ticket and landed a full-time
job at an Internet cafe in Quito
which, by the way, included a free apartment. He
has eaten monkey, parrot and guinea pig, traveled
on the back of trucks, rented camping equipment
and a motorcycle for a camping trip to the
mountains, and he has been treated very well by
the locals. I forgot to mention that he didn't
know a word of Spanish when he went but has just
enrolled in classes which run 3 hours per day. We
hope to visit him there in October.
Sincerely,
Proud Parents,
Jill and Albert
