For a family to have the means to travel widely abroad on holiday used to mean they were rich, but not any more. The opportunities for people to travel are many and now relatively cheap. Some people also travel abroad with no real plan or itinerary, just going where they want, and this is more popular now, but it can have risks associated with it. If you dont visit the regular tourist routes you then open yourself to more danger in some countries, there will be less people around to help if you find yourself in trouble if you compare this to going only to tourist areas. Also scary is travelling with groups of people you dont know, there are some people you meet when travelling you regret having met. Nowadays you can find out about people online, for example its possible to check someone isnt a scammer. Lookup sites and even reverse lookup services can give you info the professional investigators and law enforcement agencies have access to.
