My slanted opinion of the U. S. State Department Travel Advisories , plus some tips on being an informed traveler, without the help of our State Department. From personal experience, you MUST learn to take care of yourself. It's amazing how stupid people get, the farther away from home they go.
Travel safety is all common sense.
Think about what you are doing. If you look like a victim, you may become a victim. Use cash stashes. Put them all over your body and backpack. Plan ahead and you won't need an ATM at night, or at all.
