I guess there's not exactly one country that is safe all thoughout it's borders. You can safely visit any Latin American country as long as you stick to organised touristic complexes and don't deviate too much from the tour group if you're in one.

It depends on the kind of city we're talking about, because there's urban centres that are really well organised and pedestrian friendly and then there's urban centres where everything is just complete chaos.

I'm a college student and I like traveling around the world, but I haven't been to many places yet.

See you in the threads!

The people there are actually very warm, outgoing and humorous, known for the...

@Jeremydeth I don't want to gross you out too much but there are many low-grade restaurants around the globe, even in the USA and UK that target stray cats and dogs to get some free meat for their burgers. Since most restaurant burgers are basicaly minced meat with spices and breadcrumbs no one coul...
