Since she was seventeen, my daughter has insisted on travelling alone. She has been to Chile, Argentina, virtually every European country. Now she is in a Mexican sea side resort and last night was on the beach with two other tourists. The beach was empty ( crowded during the day) and at night, the bustling sea side town becomes empty … now I know why. 3 heavily armed police came onto the beach in a van. They planted perfectly rolled spiffs in the sand in plain sight. They then went up to my daughter and companions. They accused them of being in possession of drugs, threatened to handcuff and take them to the station. They clearly had guns in their bulky uniforms pockets. My daughter cried. They rifled through all the three’s bags and took a total equivalent of £500. They then let them go. My daughter was shaken and phoned me at 5 am last night. I hate her solo travelling. Every time she has the opportunity, she takes off and goes on these solo holidays. Anyone else have a solo travelling adult child, or is a solo traveller? Is this untypical? Probably typos in this but on my phone and in a hurry. Would appreciate feedback. Thank God she is flying back in four days!
