Travelling safely in Mexico
Hi all,
I am planning to drive through Guatemala and Mexico up to the US. I am a little bit apprehensive as to how safe this will be, or if I am being overly worried before my trip begins. I am well travelled but have not been to Mexico yet, and there will be a lot of time spent alone in vulnerable areas on the road, so I just want to be aware of any pointers that might help me along my way.
Does anyone have any experience or advice here that I can incorporate into my planning and overall just get me more settled and know what to expect?
I know that there are areas in Mexico to avoid, mainly in the north is what I've read. I definitely want to visit Oaxaca and Mexico City, and whatever places I find along the way. Any suggestions there would be great too.
I will be avoiding driving at night time, and once I have arrived in any area I will be fine, but it's just the unknown open road that has me second guessing.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
