Stop Promoting Mexico
-
anyone living or visiting mexico is risking their lives. why would IL continue promoting this dangerous country? 8i lived in a nice border city for 4 years and was scared to death because i knew any car could have a dangerous cartel member. Please stop promoting mexico until the mexican government fixes their country.
thanks -
Hi, I'm Bel, the Mexico Correspondent and have lived in Mexico for 8 years so I'm sorry you feel that way. My experience has been nothing but positive, both in day to day life and while traveling through Mexico. My friend and returned yesterday from completing the entire Maya Train route which spans 5 states of Mexico from Quintana Roo in the east to Chiapas in the west and loved the entire trip. People were very friendly and welcoming, in every place we stayed, and as single women no one bothered us at all.
If you notice, we here at IL only recommend safe places with large expat communities. Not the cities or border towns known for high cartel activity. Mexico has 31 states, it's a big country and a lot of it is safe, friendly, beautiful and a joy to live in. I hope this helps with your concerns.
Warm Regards,
