Once upon a time, it seemed like people, specifically US citizens, could travel around the world in relative safety (using sensible precautions of course). After perusing the current travel advisories, it looks like everywhere is a crapshoot.
Got any interesting stories of places that are no longer enjoyable or safe destinations?
Current Mexico advisories, for example, are extensive:
travel.state.gov
You can sort countries by threat level here:
travel.state.gov
The State Dept OSAC Twitter account is interesting, lots of advisories
I'd imagine a security job is becoming less fun as global conditions continue to deteriorate.
Maybe it's true for every generation, but I wish I would have traveled more, even thoughout the US, when I was younger. I liked to travel alone, both in cities and in the sticks, and seems there are more places where that is no longer a good idea, especially as a geezer. Even NYC is off my list, been there plenty of times but there were a couple of museums etc that I thought might be cool to check out. No longer. Same for Baltimore & St. Louis. Overseas it's down to Switzerland or Japan, couple others here and there, Scandinavia, maybe Spain. Wish I had made the trip to South Africa to ride the Blue Train. Now with blackouts / load shedding, even that's questionable.
Where are some places you would now never go or return to?
