Catherine Shaw - a body has been found

I agree, especially for a female on her own

r.i.p.

So sad, its a good thing for young people to travel the world before they get sucked into working for their next 50 years.

Agreed IS but surely not advisable for a young female to do it on her own.
RIP young lady.

My Niece   , not Back packing but Done the fruit Picking , She is trained Child care so also  done that in OZ  2 Years ,Now off
to NZ for a year Doing  Child care , all on her Own 21 Unreal tbh Well done EM

Agree with OP unnecessary chances taken would be strongly against a child of mine doing the same

Such news is always a horrible double edged sword, no longer missing, but the worst possible outcome to every parent's nightmare scenario.
