Solo Travel, Through An Alternative Lens | Child Border Crossing

While traveling solo comes with its own challenges, it’s nothing compared to what migrant children face when making the journey to the United States

A story on NPR’s Up First podcast struck a chord with me. It was about a young child, Javier Zamora, who made the journey from Central America to the United States alone. This story put my experience of taking a solo trip into perspective. While I felt joy traveling alone as a privileged North American woman, it is a sharp contrast to what Zamora experienced. Will you listen to Zamora’s 20-minute story at your leisure? Then perhaps subject yourself to contemplation if you feel called to do so. I felt called to share the story with you.
