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 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

Q4 Mexico's drug gang violence happens in border towns, where tourists have no reason to visit and are rarely targeted. Take normal safety precautions by guarding your belongings and traveling by day, on toll highways. #TravelSkills

@theplanetd A2. As with any trip
✔BUY #insurance as a security measure (looking at you @AllianzTravelUS 😉)
✔ Learn basic words like hola, por favor and gracias (hello, please, thank you)
✔ Avoid areas that even locals don't go to
✔ Go and have a great time 🙋🙌

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
