Are you increasingly worried about your children travelling?

I want to say upfront I’d never try to stop my children travelling. They’re all grown up and I don’t think we can stop living our lives because of fears (unless there is evidence of a specific danger).

My daughters are going to Europe later in the year for a month plus holiday. I’ve always encouraged them to travel and see the world so one one hand I’m pleased, but recent terrorism events have me spooked. I can’t help but feeling very worried about them. A terrorist attack could happen here as easily as in Europe but I do feel more at ease when they’re home.

I should say I’m hoping to go overseas myself later this year so I’m not being entirely rational here. Strangely, I’m not worried for myself just for my children.

If you have children who are old enough to travel on their own now, do you worry more because of recent terrorism events?
