I am the mother of 5 daughters. Last year my daughter Lauren and I were invited to a summer exchange program. They go to countries in Europe and Asia for the summer. They live with a host family also. I sat through the presentation. I listened to the students who had traveled overseas. But my daughter is 16, and I would air on the side of caution. They are too young to be exposed to everything that is out there. Even with the perfect place and cir***stances, you are taking a big risk. Give her two more years . I wish you the best whatever you decide.
