A2 First-timers to #Mexico will likely wonder about safety & security. The @StateDept advisories are issued state by state & locations like #Cabo & #PuertoVallarta are seeing no #travel restrictions right now, find State Dept. info here: https://t.co/8gSueZwmDA #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2: Mexico is one of the most visited countries in the world. That doesn’t happen without reason. Never completely believe the rhetoric about Mexico you hear from politicians, news media and people who have opinions about the country yet never been there themselves. #TravelSkills

Great advice!

A2. Tip for first-timer to Mexico?
It's a big country.
Don't get spooked if there's crime in one region.
And explore beyond the beach resort towns.

First-time travelers should realize #Mexico is a tremendously varied destination. Yes, there are great beaches. And a wide array of resorts/hotels. But there are also are tremendous Mayan ruins, cool villages, rainforests & tremendous cities to explore. A1 #travelskills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A3 It depends on where you’re going but in general it’s cooler in the winter and really hot in the summer. I prefer November, January and February. #TravelSkills
