Do you think that eastern Europe would make an interesting trip for a 17 year old girl?

i would suggest checking the web --- Australia has www.smarttraveller.gov.au which gives an idea of problems for travellers ---- i would suggest sticking to central or western europe ---- austria switzerland try italy ---- at least until you are older ---- i would strongly suggest finding a companion to go with you ---- not as protection as a travel mate --- and many of the countries have illegal prostitution which is MUCH worse than legal --- with legal you dont have to be worried about being kidnapped ---- illegal you do ---- best wishes
