When children grow up, parents often wish for occasional updates on their well-being. However, one young man has taken this a step further by establishing an entire Instagram account dedicated to reassuring his mother of his safety while exploring the globe.
Meet Lucas Fernandez
Lucas Fernandez, a 27-year-old former model and consultant from Belgium, is the thoughtful son behind the “Hey Mom, I’m Alright” Instagram page. According to reports from The LADBible, Lucas made the bold decision to quit his job, sell his car, and embark on a journey around the world. His adventure began in Cuba, where he soon encountered a minor obstacle—maintaining contact with his mom proved challenging.
“With the time difference, internet restrictions, and expensive phone calls, it was tough to keep in touch with my family,” he shared with The LADBible. “Moms tend to worry a lot, especially mine. It was complicated to stay connected, so I wanted to send her a positive message and show her that the world is a wonderful place and that I’m doing well.” And thus, his Instagram venture was born.
Sharing His Journey
Every few days, Lucas updates his account with a photo of himself holding a sign reading “Hey Mom, I’m Alright” from various stunning locations around the world. So far, he has shared 25 photos, each showcasing an enviable backdrop. He often invites locals to join in on the fun, creating a sense of community around his updates.
From thousands of feet in the air to the depths of the ocean, Lucas captures moments that are both lighthearted and reassuring. His creativity not only brightens his mother’s day but also serves as a unique way to share his globetrotting experiences with loved ones.
A Parent’s Perspective
As someone who has traveled extensively myself, including a period living in South Korea, I understand how unnerving it can be for parents to let their children explore independently. Now, as a parent, I can truly empathize with the concerns that accompany such freedom. Thankfully, modern technology allows us to stay informed about our children’s adventures—social media can bridge the distance in meaningful ways.
Here’s hoping Lucas continues to provide his mother with more joyful updates in the future.
