I have my own miles under my belt and my hat is off to her! To do something like this at her age and get as far as she has gotten, demands respect. Never mind, what anybody thinks about her age, her parents, etc. - She has put miles under her belt that 99% of the people lurking on this board will never even get close to. Could this be turned into a money making publicity stunt? Yes, of course. And the fact is, that you can bet your Dollars or Euros that this will happen. That is just so American and Hollywood. Wait fort he movie. It will come out in no time. Hey, more power to her and the parents. I do not know Abby, have not followed her trip at all but, yet, I do admire her for her guts. Most girls of her age would have shit their panties by now and called for mama and pap.
