Seeking advice for Machu Picchu trip — Dad edition
Our take
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu is an exciting adventure for your daughter and her friends! As a supportive dad, it's natural to have questions and concerns. Start by discussing travel expectations, budget, and safety measures. Encourage her to consider realistic costs for hostels and activities, while emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries with her friends. Brainstorm questions for them to ask each other, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
My 19-year old daughter is excited at the prospect of traveling to Peru (including Machu Picchu) with a couple of college friends in June. Other than a chaperoned high school trip to Europe, she has no experience traveling outside the U.S. Her mom and I don't want to squash her dreams, but we also don't have the experience ourselves to help her set expectations.
So...
- With only a few months to plan, what should she be thinking about now?
- What is a realistic budget for her? (They want to save money by staying in hostels, but again, we have no experience traveling that way.)
- What questions should she ask herself and her friends to set some parameters for this trip? (For all I know right now, much of this is a whim.)
- What will help us sleep better at night while she is away?
Any advice for a usually chill but anxious-for-this-kind-of-adventure dad?
