I was lucky with most of my travels. Rome, Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Kyoto, Tokyo, Taipei, and alone in New Jersey + NYC .
Nothing really dangerous happened. I felt Italy pretty safe as long as you don't go towards the obvious "kids, babies and gypsy" and tourist traps.
My only scary experience was getting lost cos of weak GPS signal on my rental car in NYC downtown AT NIGHT by myself. Took me over an hour to get out of it.
Can't wait to go to Spain and Mexico in the near future. (next few years or so) |
