World travel is always an adventure. But today, with all of the "stuff" that goes on in the world and the hateful sentiment toward Americans and America that is felt in many countries around the world, the question of which countries are actually the safest to travel to comes to mind right away when planning to travel abroad.
We, of course, have a few suggestions. The following locations are probably the safest travel destinations, but that doesn't mean that bad things CAN'T happen. It only means that bad things are far less likely to happen.
Finland is probably the safest travel destination in all of northern Europe. Helsenki, the capital of Finland, is named "the world's friendliest city" year after year. It deserves the title. You'll find prices are high and the current exchange rate doesn't help matters any. Travel to Finland might cost more, but it's definitely safe!
Japan has the lowest crime rate of any industrialized nation in the world - unless crimes against whales is included in the count. You've probably heard your grandparents talk about how it was in America back in the 1950s; people ride bicycles and talk to strangers without fearing for their lives. Japan today is similar to that.
In the South Pacific, New Zealand is a breathtakingly beautiful country where crime is almost nonexistent. Sheep stealing is the number one crime. New Zealand is safe.
Sweden has got to be the safest of all of the Scandinavian countries and also one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Sweden might steal your
heart, but that's all that will be stolen. Sweden is very safe!
heart, but that's all that will be stolen. Sweden is very safe!
Monaco is where you can lose a lot of money at the casinos in Monte Carlo, but only if you choose to. The crime rate is so low it is infinitesimal.
Good Luck,
