My son and his friend want to go to LA in the summer alone. He will still be 17 and his friend just 18. They have saved the money but we cannot go. We took him 2 years ago and he loved it so much he has always wanted to return. He and his friend are obviously from differing ethnic groups and some have said that this may be a problem given the gang culture in LA.
My gut reaction is that they are too young although I may feel differently about them going to Europe alone and am aware that lots of ypeople go travelling as a gap year at the same age.
I would appreciate any opinions/ideas.
