When kids grow up, it’s common to hope they’ll reach out occasionally to share how they’re doing. However, one young man has taken this idea to new heights by launching an entire Instagram account dedicated to keeping his mom informed about his well-being during his travels.
Meet Carlos Ramirez, a 27-year-old former model and consultant hailing from Belgium. He’s the caring son behind the charming “Mom, I’m Okay” Instagram page. As reported by The LADBible, Carlos decided to change his life dramatically by quitting his job, selling his car, and embarking on a journey around the globe. His adventure began in Cuba, but he quickly faced a challenge: staying in touch with his mom.
“The time difference, internet restrictions, and the high cost of phone calls made it tough to connect with my family,” Carlos explained to The LADBible. “Moms tend to worry — especially mine. It was hard to keep in touch, so I wanted to share positive updates and show her that the world is a beautiful place and that I’m doing well.” And just like that, his Instagram account was born.
Every few days, Carlos posts a new photo of himself in some breathtaking location, holding a sign that reads, “Mom, I’m okay.” The account already boasts 25 stunning snapshots from various exotic destinations. Occasionally, he enlists locals to join in the fun, and he even manages to check in from thousands of feet above ground or while exploring the ocean depths.
These cheerful photos serve a dual purpose: they lighten the mood and reassure his mom. It’s undoubtedly a creative and heartfelt way to share his adventures with loved ones. Reflecting on my own travel experiences, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be for parents to let their children roam the world. Even as adults, that parental worry never truly fades.
Thanks to social media, families can stay connected, even when they’re far apart. Here’s to hoping Carlos continues to provide his mom with uplifting updates. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to wipe away a few tears as I think about my own kids growing up and one day traveling the world.
