How safe is it out there?

Before you want go any place you should know their culture and respect their culture I think nobody like a traveler do not respect their culture.If you are friendly to other people most of people will be friendly to you

For my country, China, it is a really welcome foreigners country. My country will welcome foreigners as nice as possible, and respect them.

I live in a rural area of the United States. If you came here you would be met with smiles and a hello. It would be harder in the bigger cities like Chicago. As in any country you travel to, you should be cautious with your possessions as robbery can happen anywhere if a temptation is seen. I personally have no desire to travel as I love my home and the scenery around me.
