I have just returned from Colombia, I visited Cali, Bogota and Cartagena, I have to admit that I felt safe.
There are dangerous places everywhere in the World, you just have to be sensible. The hotels and restaurants were of good standard, the shopping malls equal to any you would see in Europe, I found the people very kind and helpful, I was probably the only English person in many places I visited, but I only experienced a kindness not always shown in England.

As a well kept jewelry, Colombians can only wish the tourists do not spoil its beauty and visit the country to enjoy it and not to transform it.
It is beautiful because it still shows nature as its best, including the way human beings live there, free of prejudices, following a simple and clean life.
In spite of the many troubles, Colombian people enjoy life and want visitors to join them.

I've traveled the world and did not find any nation as raciest as English, so I do not find England safe... I don't know what on earth these brainless experts looking at and putting Greece and Turkey in the dangerous zone. I traveled to these countries in July and August; France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Kurdistan region north of Iraq. I didn't see any problems what so ever.
These experts should retire!!!

Its because of their messed up culture of sexual depravity ! Do not let your daughters travel to India alone.
