I've only been to 4 countries (Canada, United States, Mexico and Japan) so according to my experiences, I could only speak on behalf on the Mexican state that the United States advises it's citizens to avoid all travel to which is Colima. A lot of people have been fearing Mexico again over a certain incident in Mazatlan which is very far from one of Mexico's most dangerous cities compared to it's more northerly city closer to the Sinaloa Cartel Culiacan which to me is so extremely absurd. Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo are basically some of the best Mexican beach resort cities on the Pacific Coast yet US travel websites suggest Cancun and Tijuana to be safer than these 3 cities with Tijuana having one of the highest murder rates in any city. I've spent so much of my time in Puerto Vallarta and never encountered a crime at all except for a bunch of dumb foreigners fighting at my apartment and one weird guy selling me crack on the beach. I've been to Manzanillo and it was actually wonderful compared to it's further inland city named Colima. I also had to friend who often has vacations in Tijuana which suggests this city still has sanctuaries and you have to be really stupid to die in that city. After all. I've managed to survive many days in Guadalajara (even not finding a single crime) which is considered even more dangerous than Cancun and even the notoriously murderous Acapulco. As for the United States. Portland and Seattle are obviously shitholes and I even observed Drag Queens and Black Lives Matter signs and it really shows and Spokane isn't much better, I literally stayed at a hotel run by Hell's Angels. Canada is considered one of the safest countries in the world yet half of it's cities are shitholes with meth abusers. As for Japan. I didn't even notice anything suspicious at all with the exception of one weird person on the train and another person freaking out in the subway and I never observed any outburst in Mexico other than foreigners fighting at the apartment. Other than the 2 weirdo's in Japan (excluding myself), Japanese people are some of the friendliest I have ever met. Don't get me wrong though. If I go to some of the more dangerous cities in Mexico. I will definitely encounter gang warfare. Culiacan is a city I don't want to go to as it's located almost dead center at the Sinaloa cartel occupation and I feel I would be easily killed there.
