I hope your son has a great trip & that it's a big adventure. Experiences like this can make a really big impression on young people. I'm not going to lie, but I took a few deep breaths and was more than a bit nervous when my "little girl" was working on an agricultural project during her Master's degree in Mozambique. Mainly because the communication was really spotty & on more than one occasion, I got a terse message that didn't make me feel particularly thrilled followed by what seemed to be an interminable period of radio silence before I heard from her again. She ran into challenges. But you have to let your kids live their lives & find their path. So every time she heads off the grid, I just give her my full support.
