And the fact that she was pretty and (IIRC) blonde.
Oldest Son is fifteen and while I do not think we would allow him to travel around Europe we would and have allowed him to go on any number of trips with friends. Some with adult supervision and some without.
It is all kid dependent. Some of them can handle things for themselves at a younger age then others.

It depends on the individual, of course, as the lady says. One of my favorite travel books - it's way more than that - is by one Patrick Leigh Fermor, who "left" school at 17 and took a little walk from the Netherlands to Istanbul. Clearly an extraordinary young man, but
A Time Of Gifts is an extraordinary book, and even he checked in weekly with his parents.
It didn't seem to hurt him much. After he finished he shacked up with a Romanian princess and then joined the Commandos, wherein he kidnapped a German general. Obviously every teeneager couldn't pull all that off, but you don't know until you try.
