This is the first of your videos that I have watched but I really liked your fresh angle on reviewing the safety of a city and of a course your sensible assessment of the drug cartel's threat. Made me think of my trip to Cancun, when I went alone and people at work were very concerned for my safety. I stayed in a hostel within the city itself, not at the hotel strip, and I found it remarkably safe with a convenient bus.
Keep up the good work!
Hey, thanks for watching! We’ve been traveling throughout Mexico for a while now and think the dangers are way overblown by the media, at least in the US.
We have yet to make it to Cancun or anywhere on the Yucatán peninsula for that matter. But, I’m sure we’ll get there eventually!
I think you're right and the unfortunate thing is that US reporting gets carried over to Canada, at least in part.
Will you be traveling anywhere in Central America?
We'll be staying in Mexico for now, at least until our 6-month visa is up. Not sure where we'll be going after that. Central America is a possibility in the future.
I strongly recommend Guatemala, great variety of things to see, friendly people and affordable costs. I'm still looking to do a hike to El Mirador in the future, but I've done something in most other parts of the country.
