With More and More Murders and Kidnappings in Mexico, Would you Dare Travel to Mexico now?

Question

***********I would Travel back to Egypt. lol!!! xxoo

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Sure. Mexico is huge and as varied as the U. S. Not all of it is controlled by drug cartels.

My friends and I used to go to Tijuana and Ensenada when I was in my teens.

One of my girlfriends in high school's parents had a trailer on Rosarita beach and the two of us went down there together sometimes. She spoke fluent Spanish because of all the time she had spent there. She also knew locals.

Over the past 15 years, my wife and I have visited the Maya Riviera and, later, San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato. In those two cities, we took buses, taxis and walked all around without any problems.

What's funny is, Europeans and particularly people from Britain and Commonwealth countries have the same impression of the U. S. as some Americans do of Mexico. Their views are formed by media.

It just depends on where you go in those countries. Avoid bad areas, especially at night, and keep to populated areas.

While living in San Diego, going to party in Mexico was like a normal thing for me. I would avoid certain situations and places though.

Also probably why I make a practice of pretending I'm poor as dirt. You don't want to make yourself into a target. I don't care where you are. Like, I have no sympathy for a guy that hates gold diggers, but then tries to attract chicks with his wealth. Just hit the gym and pretend you're broke. Make every hooker think she is ripping you off and should be paying you for the sex.

Heck no, already had a friend get kidnapped in the US and taken to Mexico to be trained to be a sex slave human trafficking victim then brought back to the US to be in forced sex slavery, aka human trafficking.

Why would I want to go there and basically say, hey take me?

That said I do have relatives in certain parts that I feel safe going to their area's but never in small groups and I could never go solo.

When the banks all over the place have armed soldiers guarding them, I'll just stay in the states.

Never would I go back to Egypt. I'd rather go to Mexico. Its not that bad just be smart and don't go out late at night. The media focuses way too much on the bad. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but the media can be cruel sometimes

AviatorTom · Answer

I was in Mexico in December, and felt perfectly safe. Like any country, there are safe places, and unsafe places. The entire country of Mexico is not a danger zone.

Alessa13 · Answer

I would not of before all this, as it has always happen just getting more publicity now. I don't have any desire to become a sex slave for the cartel.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm smart enough to would never have traveled to Mexico before let alone now.

I feel bad for these people. But if you leave the United States I think people need to understand you are ALSO leaving the United State's protection. I don't think enough people think that through.

It really depends where you go because if you just visit in the resorts and stay there then you’re fine but once you go outside of the tourist area, then you’re in big trouble it seems

Mexico is the definition of a shithole country. I wouldn't go near it. Why do you think the Mexicans are trying to leave?

Jennz6 · Answer

No Paris because the Mexican Cartel rules down there, I’m afraid to ever go back there

nawtee_me · Answer

I have lost nothing in Mexico. If the Mexicans are fleeing there, why would anyone want to go there?

Why not? Pretty much every country has murders. Mexico is a big country.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I never had a desire to go to Mexico before all the murders and kidnapping

If you aren’t involved in the drug trade, you should be fine. The people that were kidnapped weren’t innocent.
