Topic: Cruising Families

About 1 1/2 years ago I posted a request to find cruising families who are travelling (or had been traveling) with adolescents between the ages of 11-15. I am working on my PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies at The University of Montana. Until now I have been gathering the literature that I believe supports my belief that long-term travel has a positive influence over the psychological and emotional development of adolescents. I received several emails from parents interested in my findings,and appreciate their interest in my study. However, at this time I still need further data to substantiate my theory. I would like to interview parents/teaching facilitators, and traveling adolescents so that my research is thorough. I have widened the ages of adolescents from 11-18. I anticipate graduating in May, 2008, and would be happy to share my findings with those who have contributed to my study.
