5. Colombia
If vacationing to Columbia has always been a dream of yours— now might be there perfect time to fulfill it. Kidnappings have been reported to be more and more seldom, and the numbers are nowhere near as grave as they were back in 2000. No matter the statistics, some kidnappings are never reported and so it is wise to exercise caution at all cost and to use your common sense and street smarts.
The south of Colombia is still somewhat dangerous, and many foreign governments are advising their citizens to avoid this region entirely. There is still on ongoing war between drug cartels and you could wind up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
To avoid becoming a target, there are a few tricks that I’m sure you are already familiar with. Don’t dress to impress or use illegal taxis to get to wanted destinations— it might be cheaper but you’re putting yourself at risk. Always have a travel buddy, don’t accept drinks from strangers or turn your back on your food/drinks.
