I can understand that. Still, your mates can't be away all the time and there's still plenty of stuff to do in AustraliaI would really like to but I don't think it's a good idea traveling alone when I'm 17. My friends are all staying with their families so even if I tag along, I'll have to spend a large portion of my journey alone. Besides, I think it would be much better if I save some money now and go overseas when I graduate from university.
