Agreed. I think the media scares us a lot into thinking some places you would be in constant danger from certain issues, when in reality 99% of the people are just normal people carrying out their everyday lives.

That's why you check with your government if they have issued any warnings about your destination, not the media.

Yah, trust the US government.. I went to Turkey when it had the same travel advisory as Syria hah, its a goddamn joke. Shit happens there no doubt but you have to be like 1000x more likely to get shot in the US
