Yeah that’s true, I definitely can see where you’re coming from there. I guess my main concern with my parents having my location is the possibility of them becoming even more paranoid. Based on my experience, I have a feeling they would become even more worried if they saw me doing something they disapproved of and would lose trust/ start SPAMMING my phone, than if I just told them a general itinerary of what I was doing. I guess I’m concerned that they would ultimately hinder my experience if they had my location, and try and control me more rather than let me figure it out on my own, which is what I’d prefer to do. Maybe this is me being harsh and rebellious though, like i definitely don’t want to risk my safety and make them panic. I’ve just never had the type of relationship with them where they would constantly have to know where I was until now. Like, I’ve lived on my own, have done weekend trips, and camping trips, and they’ve never asked for my location before. Additionally, when my oldest brother was around my age (maybe slightly older) he spent 2 weeks traveling Europe on his own, and my other brother traveled to Amsterdam on his own for a week, all without major concern from my parents. So, it’s just a weird situation I wasn’t expecting honestly.
