First off, I applaud you for being so adventurous and free-spirited. It’s great to follow your passions in life!

Second, a trip like this will undoubtedly teach you important life lessons - how to deal with strangers, how to deal with uncertainty, how to manage money, etc. Most importantly, you will see the less-attractive side of the real world, which will make you appreciate the life you’re living right now, and further motivate you to go to college!

Given that you will be an adult by the time you set out on this trip, I think it’s best that your parents focus their energy on helping you prepare for the trip, rather than give you a list of reasons why you shouldn’t go.
