Mexico... must be absolutely lovely country to visit, but due to gangs 'activities' its a no-go for me and my family, or myself alone. I don't mind backpacking semi-safe 3rd world countries alone where I stick like a sore thumb in any crowd, but this is next level(s) of unsafe.

We have few friends who go there (not specifically here) even with kids, mostly due to low costs, stating all is fine and beheadings are happening 100/200km further away but I can't even begin to explain how stupid such argument is. To each their own.
