replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A4 I do think parts of Mexico are really dangerous because of the cartels #TravelSkills

A4. We think it's less dangerous than it's depicted on the news, but like any new place you're traveling to, be aware and use common sense. #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A4 I don’t think Mexico is as dangerous as it’s portrayed. Visitors are likely safer there than in many U.S. cities. #TravelSkills

A4. #Mexico dangerous? Statistically, you're probably safer in many Mexican cities than in most big U.S. cities. #travelskills #travel #FewerGunNuts

A4 Most of the violence is due to conflicts between drug cartels and the Mexican authorities. As a tourist, you are in little danger of having trouble as long as you follow common sense safety precautions and don't get involved with drugs. #travelskills

A4 not at all. I think there are dangerous parts just like any country. #TravelSkills

A4: Overall, no, but there are a few spots I might not visit at the moment. #travelskills https://t.co/Yd0ftevHcl

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A4 Avoid border towns and drugs and I think you’ll be fine in Mexico #TravelSkills

A4: Parts of it may be, but there are plenty of places in Mexico that travelers can and do visit safely: https://t.co/v82QKDR44Q #TravelSkills

A4 No, Like anywhere, don't get drunk and stay out until the wee hours, don't walk down dark alleys and avoid known crime areas. It's pretty straightforward. Naturally there are flukes, but there are in Toronto, Paris and NYC too! #TravelSkills

LandLopers

A4: No, especially not in the tourist areas. I think there are places tourists probably shouldn’t go, which is true almost anywhere #travelskills

A4 As with any destination, it’s important to be cognizant of security concerns and travel with self-awareness. #TravelSkills

A4: I personally do not. I'm from the Detroit area. I understand that there are "safe" pockets and more sketch pocket of ANY place. To me, danger is all relative and most crime is a crime of opportunity. Do research, be smart, have resources, follow your intuition. #TravelSkills https://t.co/cBd34h6WKa

A4. If Mexico is dangerous and pitbulls are vicious my husband is lucky to be alive.#TravelSkills

A4 Definitely didn't feel dangerous when I was there last week. There were some sketchy neighborhoods, but everything felt fine. #travelskills https://t.co/pex2rhiECt

Travelers should exercise caution in any big city. I believe recent incidents in Cancun have been outside the main tourist zones. Visitors to #Mexico should pay attention to their surroundings and exercise normal caution, just like they would at home. A4 #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4: Depends on the region/ City. The border cities have legitimate safety issues while Mexico City is safe in many parts. If blanket assumptions are made about a country based on a single problem area then the US would be in big trouble. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4: There are dangerous parts and corruption everywhere. You can’t be naive about it, however, if you are smart you can go and really enjoy the rich Mexican culture. I’m going this year! 🇲🇽 #TravelSkills

A4: I don't think it's right to label an entire country as "unsafe" or "bad." As with any place you visit, it's important to be vigilant + stay aware of your surroundings. As someone part of the LGBT community, I do this no matter where I am, unfortunately. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A4. I wouldn't say dangerous but I am definitely leery especially when traveling with my kids. I want to go there for a family vacation but I see and hear so many scary stories...I know..I know. the media scares. but when it comes to my kids...😊 #TravelSkills #travel

A4. It is much more dangerous in other parts of the 🌏 tbh

How do I know?

I lived in Seoul for two years and It's so close to the DMZ, the most heavily guarded border on the planet!

Never lost sleep or felt afraid 🙋

A4 My own experiences in #Mexico have always been safe, but #security is top of mind w/many travelers & the threshold is often a hot deal that's too good to pass up. I discussed this on the @KTLAMorningNews this week: https://t.co/CPerRuyjHC #Travelzoo #KTLA #TravelSkills
