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 @StopJetLag @StopJetLag @cjmcginnis Really? It's larger than Taiwan's? Also, why is there a DPRK flag in the background? #travelskills

@CourtneyKnox26 @travelskills ME TOO! I'd say right now is a good time to escape the Midwest for Mexico. 😉

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

Q5 What's the biggest myth or misunderstanding about travel to Mexico? #TravelSkills
wanderingbri
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

A5. Big myth about #Mexico? That you don't have to learn even a little Spanish. Make an effort! It's not that hard to learn enough to show some respect. #travelskills #language #travel

Best meal in Mexico City? Go to Contramar for lunch! Get the whole fish! Yum! #TravelSkills

A5. That all of Mexico is extremely hot and arridd. The wide terrain encompases virtually every climate and lets you enjoy the beach or hike mountains. #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A5 Mexican food in Mexico is nothing like the “Mexican food” we eat in the U.S.! #TravelSkills- tuna sashimi w fried onions, avocado, lime, sea salt!

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A5 Mexico is not a poor country. As a matter of fact, it’s the richest country in Latin America. #TravelSkills

A5 That there are only beach activities! From Mayan ruins to monkey sanctuaries, there is no shortage of things to do. Check out our guide for #Tulum! https://t.co/mbcfA6p0Ji #TravelSkills
